Haven't been able to use it with a gaming group yet, but it seems very solid and jives pretty well with what I'd already deduced from the race creation and breakdown sections in the (WotC) 3.x DM Guide and Savage Species books. Not sure if this Pathfinder version still uses the 3.5 SRD monsters for the calculations or the newer PFRPG Bestiary... it might slightly change some of the values. It could also probably benefit from a couple examples in sample new races building or a sample breakdown of a few of the standard PC races.

Still, good bang for the buck at $7.99.
