I'm just now looking at the book, but perhaps I can offer a suggestion on balancing the Firstborn a little more. Instead of an elemental immunity would elemental resistance equal to character level work better? Its still clearly better than a lot of racial bonuses, but it's not broken in my opinion and fits the characters quite thematically.

Just doing basic math, the average damage of the (level 19) Solar Flare Flame Doshko should would be 40. If you have a level 20 Fire heritage Firstborn with this racial ability it would instead negate half of the damage. That's pretty good for the player, but they still take 20 damage afterwards.

I did the math on some of the others and on average they would completely negate the damage from a (level 17) Zenith laser pistol. So its not perfect but still not too bad.

I offer this to help, but more to the point, I've only recently gotten into the groove of trying to homebrew my own races now that I'm comfortable trying. This racial ability is one I was specifically unsure about, and new I'd be asking for feedback about it anyways.


Also dotting this. Not sure where I want to use them in my campaign, but I do plan on doing it.


Really loving what you've done here. It's helping me on restructuring the backbone that I was originally going to use to make my own Starship building system.

Just wanted to say it's great, and I'll keep paying attention. Also couldn't figure out how to keep tabs on the thread without commenting. Because I accidentally almost flag it thinking that was a way to save it for me lol.
