Stating new racial qualities


Homebrew and House Rules


There are several monster qualities that aren't listed in the race builder in the ARG and the Srd.

Some of them are appropriate to certain concepts: tremorsense is the one on my mind lately.

Tremorsense (ex) feels like it should be an Advanced or even a Monstrous quality but I don't know how many points it should be worth.

Any advice would be appreciated. Feel free to put any qualities you want evaluated in this thread too.


My guess is that it'd be priced similarly to blindsense i.e. 4 points and in the monstrous category. It functions nearly identically to blindsense in what I'd wager would be the majority of times its used.


As new Monster qualities are constantly being fabricated, that's where they logically start. As for value, try that of what each player thinks is the closest and talk it out. I have players shell out build points on races, and they are mean if I over value something.


The balance of the 'race points' aren't too delicate, as exemplified by the system itself.
Skub has the right idea, if Blindsense is 4 rp, Tremorsense should probably also be around there. Though Tremorsense is more in line with Blindsight than Blindsense, so it could do with a bit higher.
