bhu 04-28-07, 04:48 AM	I've seen Monster templates in teh monster board and Class templates in the Class board. I was wondering if anyone had ever done a template for making races?
bhu 04-30-07, 02:51 AM	No one huh?
Warforged Goblin 04-30-07, 06:18 AM	Define "racial templates" for me. Do you mean ones that can only be applied to a certain race?
LordPendragon 05-01-07, 06:18 PM	I'm pretty sure he means an organized and balanced system (probably point based) that can be used to create new races. In other words, a template for creating races.
bhu 05-02-07, 12:51 AM	No, I mean something like the following which was posted in the class board. A template for saving time while posting a race.
