I need a bit of clarification with something...


Rules Questions


So, about two weeks ago I was experimenting with the race-builder from the Advanced Race guide, as I finally had some time to get around to giving it a whirl.

But as I was tinkering around with my own flavor of a half-undead, I noticed that the subtype, is over costed by 2RP.

I did the math and the abilities listed add up to only 4RP, with the racial weakness reducing that cost by one. So, rather than being 5RP, the RP cost is instead 3RP.

I asked this in the Advanced Race guide section around two weeks ago, and so far no one's responded, so I thought I'd try here. In any case, are my findings accurate, or am I misunderstanding/overlooking/missing something?

The template isn't just the sum of its abilities, it has some extra cost because it is allowed to take some of the undead (or half-undead) specific racial traits and weaknesses, as well as other that might be published later.

I see, I guess that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up for me. :)
