One of the best features of the Game Mastery Guide is the wide variety of pregenerated NPCs available at our fingertips. I wanted to devise a method whereby I could quickly and easily adapt those NPC stats for non-human characters at the table. So I devised the following simple templates for races.
To apply one of these racial templates, simply subtract a single feat from the base character and add these traits. Grant them proficiency with racial weapons as appropriate. Size category for gnomes and halflings will change, obviously, but I've tried to eyeball the calculations that change implies in the templates.
These are not direct analogues of racial traits as detailed in the Pathfinder core rules. These are simply rough approximations of each race that should work well on the fly.
Give them a try and let me know what you think; I hope some folks will find these to be useful!
