So, ignoring the wonkiness of the Race Point system, if you were going to give out racial features in feats approximately how much could you give per feat?
My idea is that rather than having to make new races for every concept I have I instead make feats out of their key traits and then use humans as the base. These feats can be taken as bonus or regular 1st-level.
The question is how RP I can invest in each feat?

not really there are plenty of feats that are good that don't have prerequisites

RP are already arbitrary and not balanced against each other. Trying to come up with a formula to convert them to feats, which are also arbitrary and not balanced against each other, seems rather silly. I suggest looking at the specific qualities you want to imbue and deciding how to parcel them out on a case-by-case basis.

Agreed, and there are a multitude of "bad" feats that do have prerequisites.

Compare them to existing feats, or just pick something and hope it works out. Welcome to gamemastering. : )

If they really want to make their own, I suggest that you post their ideas here and we can help you check the balance of them.
I don't have any players and am not wasting time waiting for someone to critique their builds, it takes long enough to make everything else for this damn game.
And I'm not forcing them to use existing races: I hate those, and that way lies restriction which is BAD.

I understand. You seem quite set in your idea, and while I feel it may not be the best option I will see what I can do.
You are trying to make all the potential races equal in power by keeping human as a base and then replacing the bonus feat with some racial abilities?
