Talk:Chaos-Born (5e Race)

Improvements?

Hey there! This is the creator of the race. I just finished this race, and I wanted to ask everyone who reads this race a few things. One, is this race balanced? I have a big issue with unbalanced things, so please let me know if there is some balancing to do. Two, are there some clarity issues? If something is unclear, I would be happy to clear it up for anyone who wants me to. thrid, do you think this should have subraces? I based this on an old concept of mine, which did have subraces but also didn't have the spellcasting and magic resistance. Please let me know. Thanks! --MarshDASavage (talk) 16:24, 28 January 2021 (MST)

I think this race looks pretty balanced. I fixed up the capitalization and wiki standards (italicizing spells, darkvision, etc). Subraces are not mandatory, but you can add them if you want. Just minus a few things from the base race. The clarity issue I might have had was reading the 5th level upgrade of the spells, but that's a small nitpick.--Yanied (talk) 09:59, 16 February 2021 (MST)

Musicus Meter

I want to start rebalancing races based on the Musicus meter, so I figured why not start on a race I created? I always thought this one was a bit powerful; let's see how it matches up.

Musicus Meter Score: 9.5

This race has a score of 9.5 according to the Musicus Meter race guidelines. With this metric, first-party races' scores range from 4.5 to 8. This is a guideline, not a rule, and it's important to use your own judgment alongside this scoring.

This scoring may be the groundwork for a focused {{needsbalance}} usage. A contributor to this page may request a detailed breakdown of this page's balance. Without this information, {{needsbalance}} may then be removed. This meter cannot be the sole basis for a needsbalance template, but may be included as an accessory to a wider discussion of a race's balance.

This template should only be placed on a race's talk page. If this template is not placed on the talk page, please move it.

• 2 points: +2 increase to Charisma
• 1 point: +1 increase to any ability score
• 0.5 points: darkvision
• 4.5 points: advantage on saving throws against all spells and magical effects
• 1.5 points: Innate spellcasting

I might need to nerf this race a touch. --MarshDASavage (talk) 18:28, 4 November 2021 (MDT)
