Jun 07, 2004 0:28:04 Ask Dawnstealer about the Dwelfs, ask Jon about the Elfling. I believe Jon's got the Elfling on his site, while I'm not sure about Dawnstealer having the Dwelf on his.

If you're interested in 2e, the best way to make a half-race is to use the difference. For example, 2e DS Elves had +2 Dex, +1 Int, -1 Wis, and -2 Con. 2e Dwarves had +2 Con, +1 Str, -1 Dex, -2 Cha. Split the difference and you get +1 Str, +1 Dex, +1 Int, -1 Wis, and -2 Cha. As long as the number balance out (+3, -3), you're fine. Note that is only for 2e, though!!

In 3 & 3.5e, there's a different balancing system (Str and Dex are worth more than Int and Wis), so you have to be a bit more careful. Also, the jumps are only by 2's (+2, -2, +4, -4, etc). Also keep in mind special abilities that would come with the race and the fact they may add to the initial starting level; it's hard to make a race that starts at first level, but is still enticing enough to play.

Jun 08, 2004 17:05:15 Naw you average it out

+2 dex
- 2 con
+1 Int
- 1 Chr

Thats a basic that keeps everything relitivly simple, Elvean Intell Halfling Chr, Comb dex/con Now for enterest sake you could also do...
+1 Str
+2 dex
- 2 con
+ 1 Int
- 2 Chr

and get halfling strength on a bigger frame....
