I don't know whether they're overpowered or underpowered but... what should I add or remove or change to fix them... Sims Sims are descended from a group of land dwelling Angler fish-like creatures altered by a Powerful Spellcaster to be, more-or-less, Human Personality: Sims are, like Humans, highly adaptable, though they're a little idiotic sometimes. Physical Description: Sims are the same height, weight, and physical description as Humans. Also, they have a jewel-like thing (called a plumbob) floating above their head. Relations: Being even shorter lived then Humans they have poor relations with most long-lived races. Alignment: A Sim's Alignment tendency is based on his or her aspiration. Sim Lands: Sims tend to govern their own cities within Human lands. Religion: Sims, like Humans do not have a racial diety, there is a cult, however, that worships the spellcaster that created and imprisoned them. Language: Sims speak Simlish and Common, and occasionally other languages. Names: Sim names vary as greatly as Human names do. Adventurers: Sims Adventure to become known in their short lives. Sim Racial Traits -4 Int Plumbob(ex): About 2 ft above the head of all sims floats a Green jewel-like thing called a Plumbob which shows the mood of the Sim. It is Incorporeal, has hardness 5, and any damage to it is dealt to it's Sim. It causes a -2 to social skill checks when the Sims mood contradicts what they are saying (an angry Intimidation attempt when in a cheery mood, for example), and -4 to Disguise checks to impersonate a member of another race. Reverse Panic: When a Sim becomes aware of nonmagical fire they feel compelled to investigate, if they fail a DC 25 Will save they must go within 30 ft. of the fire and otherwise act panicked, to do anything while in this state they must suceed a DC 15 Will save, If they wish to leave the area they must suceed a DC 35 Will save. Magical Fire does not provoke this response. Lifetime Want: Every Sim has a Lifetime want, a goal to acheive in his or her lifetime. If he achieves this goal then he gets a +2 on all attack and damage rolls for the rest of his or her life. (You can use the one for your Aspiration, or work with your DM to come up with an appropriate one) Aspiration: All Sims Must choose one of the following Aspirations Knowledge (removes int penalty) +6 bonus on any two Knowledge skills Lifetime Want: Reach level 20 in the Wizard Class Favored Class: Wizard Pleasure +2 Wisdom +2 Charisma +6 bonus on any two Perform skills Lifetime Want: Reach level 20 in the Sorceror Class Favored Class: Sorceror Wealth +2 Wisdom +2 Charisma +6 bonus on any two Profession skills Lifetime Want: Earn 760,000 GP Favored Class: Rogue Popularity +4 Charisma +4 bonus on Diplomacy checks Lifetime Want:Reach level 20 in the Bard Class Favored Class: Bard Romance +4 Charisma +2 bonus on Hide and Bluff checks Lifetime Want: 'Woohoo' with 50 or more people Favored Class: Bard Family +2 Wisdom +2 Charisma +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Bluff checks Lifetime Want: Have 6 Grandchildren Favored Class: Bard

Murmos 04-22-07, 01:09 PM	Nice, humorous race. How would you mechanically represent the Grilled Cheese aspiration, though? :D
metamind 04-22-07, 09:34 PM	Game over. You win.

Depending on how far you want to take this, they can have a flaw like... Hamster Vulnerability (EX): A sim that gets bitten by a hampster must be successful at at a DC 15 Fort save or get sick and die in 1d3 days. Environment Sensitivity (EX): In areas of of sloppiness or low light, a Sim makes all checks at a -1 penalty until area is cleaned or additional light is brought into the area. This can be counteracted by having a large presence of artwork in the vicinity. I can go on for days...... :)
Kolbane_Ferretmaster 04-23-07, 02:11 AM	For the Wealth aspiration, add "Partial to expensive plants and sculptures." Perhaps whenever they buy a plant over 50 gp in value, they gain a +1 morale bonus to attack rolls.
