Ow, my head hurts trying to keep straight what you keep, and what you'd lose. Been thinking overnight. What I most need is guidance and advice on how to amend an existing character, and what support I can get from the PCGen program (and where, if anywhere, it makes life difficult). Things I want to make work, and am happy to rule on include * was Human: keep the initial Feat (per a DM (me!) decision) and the +1 SP/level up to current level - the Skills are life experiences like Class training. * was Elf: keep the weapon proficiencies (from time as youth) * become Halfling: do *not* gain racial weapon proficiencies (no youth time) * lose bodily functions (movement, low-light vision, darkvision, energy resistance), and gain new ones. My thought overnight is: * since both races (whichever they are) are Standard Races - no weird properties * I can take the relevant properties from each and make a "Elf-to-Halfling reincarnated" one-off race. * I can either create a proper Race in LST, or use the ARG Race Builder * all the bog-standard races can be coded in the ARG, and the point cost illustrates how neutral the re-build is. * the ARG will bypass any built-in Racial HD (e.g. reincarnate as Bugbear) * ARG won't know how to cope if I reincarnate a spirit which started life as a Bugbear. So how tolerant is PCGen at taking an 8th level character and removing one race and adding another?
