According to the Advanced Race Guide, the Dragon type costs about 10 Race Points (RP). Five out of the ten of those Race Point are from the Darkvision 60 feet racial trait (2 RP), the low-light vision racial trait (1 RP), an immunity to magical sleep effects (1 RP) and an immunity to paralysis effects (1 RP). So where do the remaining five Race Points come from?
I am thinking they come from just the Dragon type itself. So the total RP cost for any of the Types presented in the Advanced Race Guide could be Monster Type plus any monster type traits they might have.
Here are what some of the other Monster types might cost by themselves:
Aberration (3 RP)
Aberration Type + Darkvision 60 feet racial trait (2 RP)= 3 RP
Aberration type= 1 RP
Fey (2 RP)
Fey type + Low-light vision racial trait (1 RP)= 2 RP
Fey type = 1 RP
Monstrous Humanoid (3 RP)
Monstrous Humanoid + Darkvision 60 feet racial trait (2 RP)= 3 RP
Monstrous Humanoid type = 1 RP
Outsider (Native) (3 RP)
Outsider (Native) + Darkvision 60 feet racial trait (2 RP)= 3 RP
Outsider (Native)= 1 RP
Does this make any sense for those of you who are creating your own races? *curious*
