Races Redone

Version 1.0

Chapter 1: Character Creation Step by Step

Step 1: Race

Your race defines your biological traits. Chapter 3 contains a list of races available. You gain all traits listed by your race. Your DM may offer additional races or disallow some of the races listed.

Halfraces

Sometimes a child can be born from 2 parents of different races, or certain events might change a character from one race to something else. A halfrace has the traits of one race, with the ancestral trait swapped out for the ancestral trait of another race. A halfrace is a member of both races, e.g. a human-elf halfrace counts as a human or an elf for any effects that depend on such (like the locate person spell).

Variant Rule: Custom Halfraces

Each race is balanced around a 10 point point buy system. This means that those who want even more customizability can use these point values to create their own halfraces, combining traits from all races involved that add up to 10 or less points. These racial trait scores can be found in Appendix B.

Step 2: Background

Your character is not just defined by their biological traits, but also picked up some learned skills around the way depending on their background and culture. From your background you gain the following:

+2 to one stat and +1 to another.
Choose 2 in any combination off skill proficiencies, swimming speed or climbing speed.
Choose 3 in any combination of languages or tool proficiencies.
1 half feat
50 GP that you can spend on any equipment that is not armor or weapons.

A half feat is a feat that normally offers an ASI, without the ASI, and should focus on adding more flavor instead of simply having a number go up. A list of options can be found in Appendix A. Any of these feats can also be taken whenever you gain a feat, if you do so you can either take 2 half feats or 1 half feat and a +1 to 1 stat.

Variant Rule: Custom Background

You can use a 25 point point buy system to make your custom background:

+1 to one stat: 4 points. (max +2 per stat)
Language or Tool proficiency: 1 point.
Skill proficiency, swimming speed or climbing speed: 2 points.
Half Feat: 4 points.
25 GP: 1 point

Additionally you can sit together with your dm to add other abilities. Your DM will decide the point value for these abilities.

Step 3: Class

Classes are as normal for 5e.

Chapter 2: Aid for the DM

Races

The races of chapter 3 can easily be dragged and dropped into your world though you are of course welcome to tinker with them. For a guideline to power scores use Detect Greater Balance created by thoroughlysketchy.

Adapting a race to this system

If you have a race designed for normal 5e and you wish to adapt it to this system I advice doing it in the following steps:

1. Separate biological from cultural

Go through the entire race and take out any trait that is cultural, aka learned. If you have difficulty distinguishing the 2, try to imagine what a member of this race would be capable of if they grew up in a foster home at the other end of your world. Anything that both this member and a normal member of said race can do would be a biological trait. You can add the cultural traits to a half feat later.

2. Determine power scores and the ancestral trait

Go trait per trait and determine what the power score of said trait would be. Try to see each trait in a vacuum. The ancestral trait of a race should be wholly unique to that race and not give abilities that other races could offer as well, like proficiencies, resistances or special sights. This is done so that there is the least amount of overlap possible when a player creates a halfrace.

3. Balance

This is the time where you add, remove or change traits such that the race has a total power score of 10, with the ancestral trait being 6 and the rest being 4.

For adding I suggest getting inspiration from other races that are like the one you are trying to add. If such doesn't exist in 5e have a look at previous editions or other gaming systems.
For removing try to remove the traits that define your race the least. If you still have to take out quite a few traits that you consider to be race defining, think about making a new racial feat that has these traits.
