I'm trying to create a race with the Amorphous Quality

[RosaMea]

Hello,

I'm trying to create a race with the Amorphous Quality, but have no idea how much RP that should cost.

I've compared it to other Racial Qualities and don't think it should cost more than 4-5 RP, but wanted to make sure:

Amorphous (? RP) The creature's body is malleable and shapeless. It is immune to precision damage (like sneak attacks) and critical hits.

That's a pretty hefty ability actually. Compare to some of the sorcerer bloodlines that aquire that immunity (Aberrant) and armor with Fortification - those are really high-level and expensive things.

Ok, in that case, does anyone know if a list exists that list the RP cost of monster qualities and abilities and where I can find it?

The most any trait costs is 6 RP so you could go with that.

Then about how much should it cost, considering "immunity to paralysis, poison, polymorph, sleep effects, and stunning" costs approximately 4-5 RP and "immune to all mind-affecting effects (charms, compulsions, morale effects, patterns, and phantasms)" is also about 4-5 RP?

That link (linkified your URL above) says the "Large" trait (actually under Qualities) costs 7 RP.

Which, as an aside, since that page also says that a Flexible Bonus Feat costs 4 RP, suggests that it should also be possible and nominally balanced for a race or Archetype specific to such a race to be able to grow to Large size by spending 2 Feats, or equivalent class ability replacements, assuming that the cost of 7 RP for "Large" was balanced correctly in the first place. Would be a bit inconvenient in the in-between stage, though, if you needed to use manufactured weapons.

If you're exactly confining the list of expensive traits to things that actually appear under the Traits heading, "Celestial Crusader" also costs 7 RP.
