I'll have the fluff up in a while, I'm still writing it.

Did I do anything wrong?

It seems a bit overpowered to me, only because it is so close to human. You're basically trading Skilled for Greater SR and Fast, which doesn't seem like an even trade to me. I would personally suggest dropping the extra feat and giving them Skilled instead and perhaps reducing the SR to lesser with the chance to gain Greater at a higher level, a power or resistance they grow in to.


I'm thinking of switching out fast for something since it doesnt really fit the theme of this race, children of human plane travelers.

Edit: The thing is, I don't want the skilled ability. It doesn't fit the race to me.

Edit 2: I swapped out fast for integrated.


Every other once-human race loses the bonus feat. In many ways, the skilled ability of the humans is heavily tied to the bonus feat. They have them for the same exact reason.

What's the dwarven racial traits of SR at? 11+ Level is pretty powerful (a draw back too, for sure)


I'm more asking if I followed the rules for this then if it's balanced.
