[QUOTE="Talaysen, post: 2722, member: 340"] Under my system, gnomes cost 13 points to build. I just grabbed my notes, so for the benefit of the curious, here's how it breaks down, from highest to lowest: DWARF - 16 points (ok, forgot I'd recalucated it - still higher than normal, though) HALF-ELF - 15 points ELF - 13 points GNOME - 13 points HALFLING - 10 points HUMAN - 10 points HALF-ORC - 1 point (yeah, that's right - ONE; half-orcs REALLY got the shaft) Half-elves rated highly only because they have a number of bonuses with no real penalties to keep them balanced. Even humans have one penalty - one less automatic language than the other races. (I factored in pretty much everything, though languages weren't worth too many points.) Here are some non-PHB races with point totals calculated according to my system. Bear in mind that ECLs take away points just as various ability penalties and such do, and the ECLs given in the FRCS have been factored in. DUERGAR - 16 points DROW - 15 points SVIRFNEBLIN - 15 points AASIMAR - 10 points TIEFLING - 10 points Rather interesting, actually...it would seem that dwarves in general are slightly higher point-wise than they should be. Of course, so far I've only examined the two noted subspecies. [/QUOTE]
