[QUOTE="Lobo Lurker, post: 2120264, member: 25172"] I don't know... flight is a useful ability, even at a poor manueverability. What are you trying to accomplish with your Race_A? Size medium flyers w/out a level adjustment? Do they [b][i]need[/i][/b] to fly? You might try for a race that glides instead of flies... if you still wanted flight make a True Flight a 3rd level Feat with a Race_A prereq. Giving up a feat is pretty expensive and would help justify the lack of level adjustment. I'd also note thier wings as being rather large and that unless they had, say, 10' of space on either side of them they couldn't actually use them. I'd ditch the Light Sensitivity with these changes. Also... why would a light sensitive race have Lowlight vision? Aren't they better served with Darkvision (either your ability name or description text is in error... you describe lowlight vision, not darkvision). Finally, to further emphasis the clumsy nature of thier flight, I'd peg them with the following attribute adjustments instead: Str +0, Dex -2, Con +2, Int +0, Wis +0, Cha +0. The above is just my opinion though. You included no racial flavor text so it's hard to see why Race_A is structured the way is was. List listing your abilities calls to mind wasted, mishappen, brutish creatures. Kind of neat for a wizards servants but how would such a race survive? [i]strong aversion to light, physically weak, not especially skilled or bright (slow learners), and with poor self perceptions and social skills (are these guys loners?)[/i] Food for thought... hope it's tasty.
