Just for laughs, I'm thinking of introducing Wombles (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wombles) as a PC race in a future homebrew campaign.
So far, this is what I'm looking at (going for LA +0):
http://img02.picoodle.com/img/img02/3/11/7/f_item4bm_bd14dd9.jpg
+2 Intelligence, -2 Strength, -2 Charisma (wombles are clever and inventive, but physically on the weak side, and very shy and withdrawn)
Small: As a Small creature, a womble gains a +1 size bonus to Armor Class, a +1 size bonus on attack rolls, and a +4 size bonus on Hide checks, but he uses smaller weapons than humans use, and his lifting and carrying limits are three-quarters of those of a Medium character.
Womble base land speed is 20 feet.
Low-Light Vision: A womble can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
+2 racial bonus on all Craft checks
+2 racial bonus on Use Magic Device and Disable Device checks
+1 natural armor bonus.
Automatic Languages: Common and Womble. Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Elven, Gnome, Goblin, and Halfling.
Favored Class: ??? (Artificer would fit, but I don't use that class in my campaign setting)
...any thoughts, improvements or criticisms?
