A re-envisioning of the Gargoyle Race. let me know what you DM's out there think of this. 10 Race Points (Standard).
Creature Type; Humanoid; Gargoyle
Creature Size; Medium
Base Speed; 30ft.
Ability Score Mod; Specialized; +2 Str, +2 Dex, -2 Cha (1rp)
Language(s); Common (dwarven, elven, abyssal, draconic, goblin, orc).
Climb; Climb Speed 20ft, +8 Climb Check. (2rp)
Gliding Wings; 5ft horizontal per 1ft falling, 60ft speed/round. (3rp)
= = = = = @4th (or) 5th Level?

Does anyone else find it odd that a +2 to Climb checks costs the same number of race points as a 20 foot climb speed?
Yes, but that is hardly the only thing in there that doesn't makes sense;)
Seconding In the Company of Gargoyles. It does a very nice job of this and gives a racial paragon class to really hit all the bases while leaving the race something balanced to use against other player characters.

I actually own the 'Awakened Gargoyles' PDF. One of the issues I take with it is that it doesn't seem organized as well as it could've been.
It makes mention of the "5 gargoyle clans". And even directs to Pg15 to see the best mention of them. Yet, as near as I can tell, the PDF still doesn't explain what these Clans are or what benefits/drawbacks they entail.
