Racial Templates

I’m testing something new and I’m offering racial templates at a discount. The listed Racial Cost is the number of points you buy it for, not the number of points it is actually worth. Standard Humans don’t have a racial template.

And to balance this out, humans get 40 extra points.

If your parents are from two different, but compatible, races, I will create the mixed racial template and set the cost for said template.

Racial Templates - Size

As a note for differently sized races. I have made some house rules on this for ease of calculation.

SM +1 races eat twice a day, but each time they eat an equivalent of three standard meals. A total of 6 meals per day, or twice as much as SM 0 individuals per day.

SM -2 races eat six times per day and each time they eat an equivalent of 1/6 standard meals. Or 1 meal per day.
