[PTab=What is this] This thread aims to classify each racial into a point based system, and to provide guidance on creating new ones. The desire is to hasten the racial creation process for those who want to make a custom alien. In order to keep it valid, only site approved racial abilities thus far will be listed. The point values assigned are not official by any means, but the logic behind each point value will be listed. The last tab on the list is where racials that have been denied will be listed, with the reasons why it was not allowed (with the permission of the creator). You don't have to submit your racials that didn't make the cut, but the feedback could be useful to you and others. Certain abilities will be left out, predominantly ones that deal with a races transformation like the Acrosian weighting abilities- because the alien customs available don't support those racial abilities.
Scaling will go from 1-6. With 6 being a good guideline for the maximum amount of racial points that you should be trying to put on your custom race.
An example of a 6 would be...
Custom Demon Ability- A technique which when used counts as an added 'pl x4' on their current strength, though can only be utilized once per thread.
Limitations- Can't stack with an event based transform (so alien C wouldn't be able to use it while in their event transform)
Point Rating- 6. Consumes all of the demons racial traits. It can also stack with all but the Makyo star transform similar to an androids overdrive (While in demonic will it makes the multiplier for that attack a x7). It can also be upgraded with techniques by adding a variant or making it charge faster. If another race were to have it in addition to more abilities, then the demon would lose its luster.
Here is an example of a 1.
Survive in the Vacuum of Space- the name says it all.
Limitations: Only useful in a very specific set of circumstances.
Point Rating- 1. Very situation specific.
