I find it sort of.boring though, as it doesn't necessarily capture some of the flavor you might want. Alternatively, one thing that struck me as being in theme with the Light Build would be a Con penalty it gets harder to judge if something is balanced as there become more and more bonuses and penalties though.Īs Hajih mentioned, there's an Anthropomorphic Animal template at the back of Savage Species. (Speaking of which, I like the idea of Light Build a lot.)Īs for ideas.maybe you could take away the +2 Int, and possibly tone down the skill bonuses a bit. Your race would make a very good wizard-bonuses to Int and Dex, and wizards don't care much about the limitations you impose (Str? Cha? light build?). Also, don't underestimate the power of Scent-it can be very useful.Īlso, be wary when giving bonuses to the 'mental' stats, since they become very useful for spellcasters (note that none of the PHB races has a bonus to Int/Wis/Cha). Slightly fewer combat bonuses, but the skill bonuses really make up for it IMHO. The ability to use Medium-sized weapons without penalty (presumably-the description of Light Build is a little unclear)įor a sneaking-type rogue, your race seems better. +4 to Open Lock and Sleight of Hand checks +2 Int/-2 Cha (aka even MORE skill points) # +2 racial bonus on Listen and Jump checks.

# +1 racial bonus on attack rolls with thrown weapons and slings.

# +2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear: This bonus stacks with the halfling’s +1 bonus on saving throws in general. For example, compare the abilities of a rogue of your race vs. I'd say it's a little overpowered-it seems to be the ultimate skill-monkey (skill-raccoon? )).
