Right, so I love creating new PC races and since I've seen so many vote-up's on the boards I thought, why not give it a shot? So here we go. The concept is to create a new PC race that is in some way unusual. This is my first go at starting one of these vote-up threads so let me know if I miss something important.

WINNER +1

Level Adjustment (votes after 1 day)
{table=head]LA | Votes
+0 | 8
+1 | 9
+2 | 2
+3 | 0
+4 | 0
+5 | 0
+6 | 0
+7 | 0
+8 | 0[/table]
Please cast only one vote and put it in bold for ease of counting. Thanks!


Now let's vote for a style. Should it be humanoid, semi-humanoid, or non-humanoid? First to 6 wins!

+0. Unless it's +0, or maybe +1, it really shouldn't be a PC race. A playable NPC race, yes, but not a PC race.

+0 Level adjustment sucks.

I vote +1 LA. It gives you some wiggle room for nice things.

Go for +0 Level Adjustment. Anything more than that will get played radically less. If you actually want this to be a PC race and not a monstrous race, make it +0.

+1 LA races tend to see the same amount of game time as +0 in my experience. Especially since 1 LA can be bought off relatively quickly. *shrugs*

+0 LA. You can do a ton of awesome things within the range of +0 and still be balanced against other races of the same (non-existent) LA. Anything with LA becomes niche in its usage.

+0. i support the claim that it will be played less if it has any LA....

+2 LA, as that's where my favorite things are.

+1, there are a few rather cool creatures with HD that still possess only a +1 bonus, and there is more room for altering it's power(even with only 1 or 0 HD).

+2 LA

I love the way drows are balanced, feels just right.
Also, as someone else mentioned, buying off is always an option to consider. (actually, it is TOO good an option at times...as my race would demonstrate).

I'd certainly be fine with 0, my vote is for LA +1

+1, so we can have nice things and lose the LA quite soon.

LA 1, for a fun and easy lizard race.

Hmm. I'll go with +0; it makes it easy, as that's what most people are used to.

Just to be evil and tie things up....
+0 LA
But seriously. PC races should be within +1 range, but usually work best at +0.

+1. I wanna see some unusual powers, but because you've used the most primitive voting system (plurality), anything higher than LA +1 has no chance of winning and would be a wasted vote. Plus, I sorta agree that anything higher than +2 should never be considered for a PC race. Ever.

+1 Level Adjustment is my vote.
