Talk:Starborn (3.5e Race)

Kind of Ugly

This fits the above description to a T. In my opinion, it's quite hideous balance-wise. Flight and spell resistance, a mess of ability score adjustments, and bio-energy (tons of people use this, it seems, but I always seem to see it on races that have issues) do not add up to LA +0. All in all, it's not up to the standards we hold for races on this wiki since it's not really playable. - TG Cid 01:43, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Furthermore, races never have an odd numbered modifier to an ability score. They are all even. --Havvy 03:59, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Oh goodness. People, Xenotheric creatures, due to their traits, tend not to be LA 0 when put into races for the same reason you don't see many LA 0 Outsider races. Their race gives them considerable benefits. For sake of ease I'd suggest considering Xenotheric to be LA 1 to start out. I made Xenoblooded for all the LA 0 aliens who want "alien" but can't afford the gimmicks. -- Eiji-kun 11:46, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

This looks to be the author's first attempt at building a race, and likely is new to the game as well. On top of that, there are a lot of complex mechanics that are thrown in here. It's not something I'd recommend tackling without help for a newcomer to this sort of thing. I urge the author to speak up here and let us know what he was going for. We'll gladly help out, but as is, it's just not playable. --Ganteka Future 03:58, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
