Hey All,

I was thinking of making a diminutive race and was wondering what an appropriate racial point cost would be? I’ve just been going with 7 for my own ideas but thought I would ask the community to get a better idea since the diminutive size isn’t in the Advanced Races guide.

First off the Race Points are not accurate, it's a rough estimate.

IMO 9-11 points is about average and gives you enough leeway to create unique sets.
I'd use the existing races as a guideline and the points as a rough ballpark estimate.
Humans, elves, half-elves, and half-orcs are the gold standard.
Aasimar is a powerful race and probably as far as I'd go for PCs without some compensation. Look at the PFS free(no boon required) legal races.
Drow etc are really too powerful and just for NPCs. Kitsune shapechanging and associated bonuses need to be toned down.
Personally I'd add a Fav'd Weapons group(s) to each race so people can pick up some weapons as an option as Wpn Proficiency is far too costly in the Game.

Next I'd turn to adjusting the Fav'd Class Options. They really need to be standardized.

My Estimate would be;
Diminutive (sz: Lrg, Med, Sml, Tny, Dtv, Fin) is a definite change. Tny costs 4RP. Cost 7-8RP.
Prerequisites: Aberration, construct, fey, outsider, or plant type.

Dtv Mods: SizeMod(Atk & AC):+4, SizeMod(CM):-4, Fly:+6, Stlth:+12, Spc:1ft, NtlRch:0ft, AvgSpd:7.5ft(2 legs), 15ft(4 legs), AvgHt:0.5-1ft, AvgWt:0.125-1lb. NtlAtk: Bite BPS{Prim}, Gore P{Prim}, Pincer/tail B at (1d2)dmg, others (1)dmg.
Most likely ability score Adj: -4 Str, +2 Dex, +2 Cha, +2 any other ability score(including Dex to a total of 20). Free Weapon Finesse feat.
