Advanced Race Guide: Why is the Dragon Type so Expensive


Rules Questions


So, Darkvision is only 2 RP, and Low-Light Vision is 1 RP.
That leaves the Immunity to Paralysis and Sleep, which can't be more expensive than 4 RP total for both (Duergar Immunities is only 4 RP, and it contains three immunities and a bonus vs spells; I personally would only rate Immunity to Paralysis and Sleep as a 3 RP cost, but I am willing to go up to 4 RP).

That only comes to a total of 7 RP. If you count being non-humanoid as a RP cost, I can't see it being more expensive than 1 RP, because for other "monster" races (fey, abberations, and native outsiders) the cost is 1 RP + the cost of innate racial abilities (low-light vision for fey, darkvision for abberations and native outsiders).

Adding in a non-humanoid cost of 1 RP, it still only brings the total to 8 RP.

I would really love to see a designer weigh in on this, but other comments are welcome as well.
