Advanced Race building question


Rules Questions


When taking race traits that offer resistances and you take another that offers the same resistances do they stack?


By Raw, no.

As a GM, do whatever you want. As a player, ask your GM.

A good rule is every 5 energy resist is 1 BP. 4 BP buys immunity, though that may not be appropriate in all circumstances, and I say 4 BP can buy immunity or resist 20 depending on your goal.

I'm running an elder scrolls game and made all the races for that game. Check them out, particularly the Nord. Based on game lore I gave them cold immunity and electricity resistance 20. Both cost 4 BP but with different results for what I was going for.

I did a similar thing with Bretons and Magic resistance using Hardy.

Every race except for the Argonian is 15 BP's. The argonian is 16 or 17 I believe, but as they have more highly circumstantial racial abilities I felt it was ok. A lot of things took rule tweaking and making slight exceptions to match lore. Not a big deal though as you can usually figure it out.
