Race Builder question, type and abilities.

[Lord Vukodlak]

Alright so I'm building a race using the race builder tools

Its type is monstrous humanoid which grants it dark vision 60ft. Does it still cost 3 points to change that to darkvision 120ft. From what I can tell that appears to be the case but it feels like a rip for types that come with darkvision.

Also ball park estimate on this racial trait

Nagii's have the upper body of a human and the lower body of a snake and are thus immune to trip however they completely lack the foot magic item slot and armor costs twice as much as it must be adapted to their body structure.
*Hence why the race can't just be humanoid they aren't.

1. No. Since you've already "paid for" the first 60 feet of darkvision, taking darkvision 120 feet should be only 1 RP.

2. There's no price for that sort of thing, so the race builder is no help there. At that point you're back to crafting a custom race from scratch and guessing/hoping that it's balanced.

Best advice: look at the various entries that you think are roughly equivalent, work out your reasons and post here for people to tear apart!

I use the race builder as a starting point, but often with different values. My 'snake body' entry adds a step loss on base move and incorporates a minor (1 point) penalty for being an 'off' racial type.
The final value is '0'. Also has a discount for swim speed and the first point of armor.
