Diminutive Racial Cost?


Homebrew and House Rules


I'm working on Races for an upcoming world book. One of my races, the Ellyon, are a race of Diminutive winged humanoids resembling Fey, but are in fact quite mortal.

The cost in the Advanced Racial Guide for Tiny is 4 RP, what would the cost of Diminutive be?

My hope is, to provide each race not only with its own history and background, but also a racial stat block so anyone can see the cost and makeup of the races.

Any suggestions are welcome!

I don't recommend it, however, I would probably price it at 7 or 8 points., most likely double the cost so 8 points to keep a standard for progression in mind, i.e. I'd price it with the cost doubling the previous each time, so 4 for tiny, 8 for diminuative, 16 for Fine (as an example).


Yeah, that's pretty far outside the realm of "player race" assumptions.

Doesn't mean you shouldn't do it, but expecting that the race builder rules have anything to offer you in the way of "balance" is not advised.
