I am planning on starting a new campaign (Reign of Winter) in the near future, and some of my players have asked me about playing some non-standard races that appear in the Advanced Race Guide. The only potential problem I see is that some of the races they are interested in are worth a lot more Build Points (or whatever they're called) than the standard races.
Assuming I want all my PCs to start at 1st level, does anybody have any suggestions (even in theory or from personal experience) how I can keep things balanced between higher-BP races and standard races? Things like different XP tracks or XP penalties? Any advice would be greatly appreciated...
