Hey everyone I got into some of the early playtest stuff and talked about race for a bit.
Basicly my thoughts are this as mechanical working of the game race is an after thought.
Both paizo's pathfinder and fourth editions works took this a long way to correct the past.
But in my opinion it was not enough.
Wile in fourth they get some minor power which I liked very much it doesn't really scale well.
I can not say this from experince only from theroy at looking at as I have not played fourth but know a bit about it.
Pathfinder did less about it but did take us to the +2 to two stats rather than one which I very much liked that they did that.
I will get to the crux of my thought.
Imagine a dwarf archmage and an elven archmage.
They are both at the top of there game but I couldn't see them acting more differently.
I see the dwarven mage unleshing an artillery of spells standing stoicly in place.
Where as the elf is limber and mutiable not having the strength of power of the dwarven artillery but instead.
They move with grace using spells enhance there melee capability wile slinging spells on the run to there next target.
Do you think my imagery is far off?
Now last time I brought this up I was called a bigot and that I only play races to sterotypes.
I thought that was just a little harsh.
Just a small ammount.
These are fantastical races and in no way shape or form reflect my thoughts on different skin pigmentations that our gentics have given us respectively.
So without futher delay I will start getting into it.
But one final thing all of my races are short lived as in normal human life span so if anything doesn't make sense to someone who would live for X I hope that does make sense now..
Here we go.
Well here is the basics of it I see dwarves strength is there stalwart nature.
They are the people who draw the line in the sand.
So I wanted to dwarves to get some benfit from not moving.
However I also have I guess you could call them anti dwarves in my camapgin which are dwarves not of the mountain but of the coast so they have movement as there benfit.
The Dwarves of the realm
The dwarves are sperated to seas, The sea of the exiled and the pirate sea.
The dwarves of the realm couldn't be more different.
Angol dwarves.
Angols are short and stout.
They are often pale, most wear beards both male and female.
They have a varity of hair colours in natural earthy tones, though there are known to be blonds.
They have a love of earth, stone, metals and gems.
They are generally gruff with there personailty but almost every dwarf without fail is true to there word.
As a result they are very reluctant to give it.
The average angol is logical minded, even the average female makes human men look overly emtional.
This runs to everything they do, they must see logic in actions or disregard them as foolish.
Festival is the only time they drink, but if someone is to offer... well it would be rude not to accpet.

All though many races claim the race elves they are all very different, most however share some chateristics such as, a lacking of body hair.
They don't apper to age outwouldly. Some suggest that they live forever however anyone whom knows an elf knows this to be a half truth at best.
Elves don't congerate with other races of elves however they regard them with a fondness not enough to call them friends at least streight away.
Elves like the dwarves like to keep to there coners of the realm.
However there have been events when they have moved on mass and it has never been a good thing for the rest of the populace of the realm.

I have stuff in relation to halfing at least one race, orcs two races and some ideas for sub-human races/regional/culture humans but nothing really complete so here it is guys give me some feed back if you could.
Thanks for your time
apperently the thread says no to my word count so I am adding here what I waned to say at the end.
The life of a half elf is hard.
Previously thought to not exist at all half elves have been seen in socity beyond that of humans.
At first it was thought that half elves were so adaptable that in elven socities they just were as the elves were, people suggested darker threoies such as they were killed at birth or locked away as abbominations.
However humans have encountered half elves in elven socities they have be come deplomats between the races often bridging perviously unbridgeable devides.
Some however have seen the darker side, half elves obessesed with proving themselves to there tribe and taking it out nearby humans.
Half-elves in human socities seem to much the same.
They do not posses the elven frame light and agile but fragile they seem to take after there human counter parts in this regard with an elven twist.
Some pity them other envey them.
They however are yet to find there place in the world.
+2 Special Those that choose to live in human socities or wanders may choose any stat to put plus two in.
Those raised by eleves must choose one of there two postive stats to put two points in
Sturdy Half Elves recive a plus six to there starting hit points
Normal Speed Half Elves have a base speed of thirty feet.
Low Light Vision due to there elven hertiage they recive low light vision with exception of Isis half elves the recive Snow Vision as per the ability
Keen Senses Half Elves recive a plus two bonus to sight and sound based preception checks, In addition when every they are with ten feet of a trap or secert passage they can make a perception check whether they are actively looking or not
Elvish Blood Half elves have elven blood, they count as both having elven and human blood.
Weapon Familiarity Half Elves recive weapon familiarity as per there culture, if raised by elves as per there elven counter part if by humans as per there human counter part, but a wander they may select one weapon which they are familar with
Favoured Classes Half Elves may choose any class as there favoured class, however once they choose this in can not be changed.
Adaptability upon charater creation, halves may choose to start with a racial elven ability or a human cultural feat or if a wander they start with skill focus.
I have stuff in relation to halfing at least one race, orcs two races and some ideas for sub-human races/regional/culture humans but nothing really complete so here it is guys give me some feed back if you could.
Thanks for your time

Caladors... any interest in posting these at the Pathfinder Database?
Dear Snobi
You were asking about height and weight.
Well I really haven't gotten to write everythig up but my players are always able to ask me stuff so generally thats why there is not the level of infomation I would like to give or was not able too.
But weight a minute (I like puns) the first time I posted that lot the thread exploded and wouldn't let me keep all of the infomation on one post!
In any even the Angol dwarf is ment to be a repsentation of the classic dwarf threw the lens of my campagin.
So there ment to be typical dwarven hieght and weight.
I can discribe each of the races to if you would like.
To Pathfinder Database Pimp
I guess *srugs* I have been on the wizards boards for awile and when ever I presented an idea I have kinda been slapped down.
So I just wanted to show some people what I had done and they gave me some comments.
First of all that it is formated horribly and some more encouraging things.
I have at least a little more formated than what appers here bolded stuff in larger and smaller print ecta but to do that with everything in this board or any for that the use of BBcode would drive me mad.
But if you like the stuff I can get it together for you.

I'd be keen on reading about your thoughts and outlines for Halflings :D If you could so kindly share them.

I would be glad two but.
But there incomplete.I have one of them done up and it's not the atypical halfing.
Which have some thoughts about.
But basicly my halfings are like this, there is a reson there always getting up and moving around.
They have the skill trade, each of them is trying to keep something that we keep losing alive and there is three different runs.
The Icy River Run.
They are people whom are trying to keep there race strong as a bloodline.
They are hunters and gathers but more then that they are athletes they are what keeps there people strong and there skill trade is surival.
Next.
The Leafy River Run. (the a typical halfing as per D&D not hobbit)
These people are trying to keep knowledge of people alive.
They travel lands where the most human cities are and they also make contact with the most humanoid races also.
One may have all the knowledge in the world but if he can not communicate with his brother it is all for nort.
Let us not forget what would happen if they can not get along with there brother.
So they keep the skill trade of diplomacy.
The Wild Run.
The wild run go through wildest of places where the natural and the unnatural blur lines and some times remove the line completely.
The halfings of the wild run skill trade is knowledge.
Unlike other where they pratice to help improve these halfings just collect raw data.
Find out as much as they can.
But instead of using such imprecise tools such pen and paper they store it in there mind.
---
I'd be keen on reading about your thoughts and outlines for Halflings :D If you could so kindly share them.

I would be glad two but.
But there incomplete ...The Icy River Run...skill trade is survival.
The Leafy River Run. (the a typical halfling as per D&D not hobbit)
... skill trade of diplomacy.The Wild Run ... skill trade is knowledge.
It sounds great so far and sounds more unified as a halfling race as a whole. I also like that it follows the DnD halfling closer than the idea of the Hobbit. I, myself normally see hobbit as hobbits and DnD halflings are their own people with their own identity. Kender are also fun!
I'm supposing that these are the primary three of many halfling clans and preservers.

I guess *srugs* I have been on the wizards boards for awile and when ever I presented an idea I have kinda been slapped down.
So I just wanted to show some people what I had done and they gave me some comments.
First of all that it is formated horribly and some more encouraging things.
I have at least a little more formated than what appers here bolded stuff in larger and smaller print ecta but to do that with everything in this board or any for that the use of BBcode would drive me mad.But if you like the stuff I can get it together for you.
One of the things I normally do when someone submits content to the Pathfinder Database is that I try to conform it as best as possible to the "Paizo Style". That means using bold text where they use bold text. Using line breaks and stylistic conventions that are common to the way they like to present things. For example, here's one small thing I noticed that makes a difference in the way they present languages known by the various races.
In the SRD it's written as:
Automatic Languages: Common and Dwarven. Bonus Languages: Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Terran, and Undercommon.
In the Pathfinder RPG, it's written as:
Languages: Dwarves begin play speaking Common and Dwarven. Dwarves with high Intelligence scores can choose from the following: Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, Terran, and Undercommon.
These are the kinds of things I look for to edit before I put something up. What you can do, and this really goes for anyone submitting content, is to really look over the way the existing races are presented and then modifying your stuff to look similar.
Take a look here http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/races.html and see if your stuff can match up to that.
Another thing you could do is send me one race entry, I'll edit and format it for you and send you a PDF of how it would look on the site.
Before Pathfinder had started I had designed a system for making races more substantial as well as trying to balance them out a bit more. The builds work like this:
Stat Bonus: Either +2 to one or +2 to two with a -2 to one.
Size and Speed: Select as normal.
1 Racial Feat
3 Abilities- Things like Low-Light Vision and Darkvision, as well as class abilities like Fast Movement and Wild Empathy.
+2 to two Saves
+2 to 3 Skills
Weapon Familiarity
There is also room to work with more impressive racial abilities:
Changling shapechange and Shifter's Shifting= Feat + 1 Racial Ability
Human Bonus Feat and Fast Learner Feat= Feat + 2 Racial Abilites
Warforged Living Construct= Feat + 2 Racial Abilities
Here are a few examples:
+2 to Dex and Cha, -2 to Str
Speed: 20
Size: Small
Feat: Hero’s Luck- +1 to all saves.
Ledge Walker: as Rogue Ability.
Nimble Climbers: Halflings may add their Dex bonus to their Climb skill as well as their Str.
Wild Empathy: as Druid Ability. If you take a class that gives Wild Empathy you gain a +2 to your roll.
+2 to save vs Fear and Reflex saves to keep balance as well as CMD vs Trips.
+2 to Acrobatics, Climb, and Perception
Weapon Familiarity: Kukri and Sling proficiency, and count any “Halfling” weapons as Martial weapons rather then Exotic.
+2 Con and Wis, -2 to Cha
Speed: 20, but not affected by armor or encumbrance (cancels out).
Size: Medium
Feat: Armor Proficiency or Endurance.
Darkvision: as Dwarf Ability.
Hatred: Works as Favored Enemy vs Orcs and Goblins, stacks with Favored Enemy vs Orcs and Goblins, but it cannot be changed to another monster type.
Stability: as Dwarf Ability.
+2 to save vs Poison, Spells, and Spell-like abilities.
+2 to Appraise, all Craft Skills, and Knowledge Engineering.
Weapon Familiarity: as Dwarf Ability.
+2 to any Ability.
Size: 30ft
Speed: 30
Bonus Feat
Feat: Fast Learner: +1 Skill Point per Level.
Fortunate: +1 Hero Point (read Action Point) per Level.
Bonus Class Skill: select one of choice.
Fate’s Blessing: Add +1 to Hero Die results for each die rolled.
+2 to Con and Cha, -2 to Wis. Averriels are vibrant and vital but tend to lack common sense.
Speed: 30ft
Size: Medium
Feat: Toughness.
Fast Healer: Add +2 to your level for the purposes of recovering Hit Points from natural healing.
Fast Movement: +10ft to movement in no or light armor. If you gain Fast Movement from another class you gain an additional 5ft of movement.
Strong Life-force: Averriel suffer only half the penalty to stabilization checks due to negative Hit Points.
+2 to Diplomacy, Sense Motive, Intimidation. Averriel are naturally empathic.
+2 to save vs Necromancy, Death, and Negative Energy Spells, Spell-like Abilities, and Effects.
Weapon Familiarity: Averriel are proficiency in Glaives and Ransuers, and any weapon with “Averriel” as Martial weapons.
Hope it helps.
General stuff.
I would like to thank Orge (goes as orge de something?) and Blazej for accually getting me to post this stuff in the first place.
I have been talking to Blazej about some of the stuff.
If there was any confusion when I said say "Darmbreth blood" this was ment to indicate that they have the blood of Darmbreth flowing through them just like elf blood.
Short answer it is not a feat.
And on Dambreth again one of there feats refences blow of Dambreth this is an orcish ability which I have written up just not on the computer as of yet.
To Aikuchi
I loved kender I thought they were really cool these guys who are fearless just cause they really don't know better.
Also that whole borrowing thing, classic.
I have two of the halfings done So I will finsh the last and then I will send post it.
To Asgetrion
I was there I even commented on some.
But when I did comment I was drowned out my some louder voices that post for the sake of posting in my opinion.
Anyway this person that posts often suggested I was a bigot, a poor role player and poor designer.
This really didn't sit well with me and everyone was very yes man with him so I returned to the status of lurker.
I have been here for awile and watched.
Just not commented since.
To veector
"Paizo Style" you mean properly?
Yeah formating has never been my strong suit never has never will.
But I can get it all nice and neat one day for you.
However I did reply to this earlier but some mystical creature ate my comments.
What I am said and am saying again is.
Thanks for the offer of help I will take it up but only so long as you have time.
Also I should accually finsh up the halfings before start fixing things up.
To Skaorn
Looks like a nice break down of things.
But see the thing for me was that we already have all of this I am not talking about customizable races I was saying.
Races don't matter enough.
For many people in life race is one of the most important things of there life.
Some people are an article clark then a woman then white.
Where as others are black then a man then a librarian.
In any of these cases race is a major part of our identity.
How come it is one page in this where as our profession is three.
Just doesn't make sense to me.
So I tried to set out by accually making them count more.
I know it seems like a whole lot of custom races which it is but the more important thing for me at least is now there race matters.

In regards to the halfling example you've provided, I love how certain 'class features' or 'feats' you've mentioned help define how a race develops with its environments when taken as whole. Having 'ledge walker' and 'nimble climbers' suggests much about their familiarity with rough rugged terrain and mobility.
Perhaps as a race,they're most at comfort when building communities dug into cliff walls and overhanging rope bridges. Wild empathy only serves to show how much in tune they are with the creatures as a natural affinity.
Thank you for sharing.
Caladors
I absolutely loved how kender adopted an identity of their own apart from hobbits/halflings. I was a big fan of the cannibalistic athletic halflings of the world of Dark Sun as well. They was a strong identity and identifiable characteristics that defined the race which weren't just a set of 'skills' or 'bonuses'.
I think thats how Elves and Dwarves have developed. Their iconic status lent to several distinctive racial features that mechanically seem very advantageous when compared to the halfling, which I feel goes deeper than mechanical value. :D
I will wait patiently to see how your halflings develop!

All I did with Halflings was think about how they'd deal with invaders and comprimising with myself. Since Halflings are generally don't have physical strength on their side in a fight I figure they'd rely on natural terrain and guerilla tactics. I had originally given them Lightning Stealth (forget the PF name) and an ability to treat difficult terrain as normal for the purposes of normal movement, but not charging or running (to close to a feat tree a max). Lightning Stealth was something I'd WANT to have, which is a good sign that I shouldn't add it. Ledge Walker was the compromise, Agile Climber seemed appropriate for barefoot halflings, and Wild Empathy because I like nomadic Halfling over the "Hobbit" version.
I do like your take on Halflings and it will definately appear in one of my games!
These aren't late at all...
Ok, I am a horriable person.

Just something that I thought I would share, the reason they don't have fearless is because there not.
Imagaine the world from the halfings perspective, you are so small that other races consider you half a person.
They don't have any strong kingdoms or great powers.
If this was your daily life would you be fearless?

This really didn't sit well with me and everyone was very yes man with him so I returned to the status of lurker.
I have been here for awile and watched.
Just not commented since.
Oh, sorry to hear that... I remember that everybody stopped posting ideas and commenting at some point, which was a bit disappointing for me. I think there were some good ideas there (like the elven racial feat which gave you the Drow spell-like abilities, but at the same time marked you as "tainted").
Hopefully racial feats will be featured in some upcoming supplement for PF RPG.

Well it's not all fun and roses.
Yeah it would be cool if there where some in the up coming book.
Advanced book?
Anyway regardless of good you do anything or make your case there will be people who disagree with you.
I was just hoping not such a volatile responce.

Well waiting is no longer nessary.
There here!
Yeah I really liked kender I like the child like state that they lived in where it wasn't that were fearless it was that they didn't even understand the concept of fear.
Alright good to hear from peoples enjoy.
P.S To Loztastic

Well apperently I can not edit my posts here still...
So I forgot to add something with the finally ability for the Leafy river run halfing.
There lies can no longer be magically discerned.
Ie unless you can figure it out yourself no ammount of magical aid will help you to get threw there twisted web of lies.

Wow Caladors!
Thank you for the post and elaboration.
It'll take some time for me to digest it all and it looks good. There's are a few things I find a little odd but I will mull over it and consider them before making any judgments; taking into context that this applies to our world concept and setting.
:D
