Dear gods, your DM better hope nobody plans to munchkin this offer, because he's just opened up a world of pain for himself if he's giving you access to the Race Building rules.

Are you locked into the Outsider type or can you go with Humanoid for 0 RP as your base? Any plans for your class?

Assuming you want to be the special snowflake of your group:

Type:Humanoid (0 RP)
Size: Large (7 RP)
Speed: Slow (-1 RP)
Abilities: Mixed Weaknesses (-2 RP)
Language: Standard: (0 RP)
Defense: Lesser Lucky (+2 RP)
Advanced Movement: Flight (+4 RP)
Advanced Offense: Reach (+1 RP)
Senses: Darkvision (+2 RP)
Total: 13 RP

Congratulations, you're a Giant with 10 ft. reach, +2 Str, -2 Dex, +2 Wis and -4 Cha. You have a 20 ft. land speed but can fly at 30 ft. speed instead. You've got a +2 racial bonus on saving throws and can see in the dark too. Looks like a damned good option for a big stupid fighter type if you're into that.

A true warrior doesn't need to fly! The sky is a coward's haven.

But what if you flew through the enormous power of your legendary farting abilities? It'd explain the hefty charisma penalty too.

Our group doesnt do too much of that. And I think its the stock races, or Outsider Native .

I'm looking at the Suli RP16, and a rogue. I was gonna drop the Once Per Day elemental attack and looking at  RP1 thing. Breath Weapons looks good. Open to suggestions.

Aww, you're making me blush. I didn't even know you cared!

I think my group will be happy next session. I've gone and dumped a massive loot pile in an alchemist's lab, and they've just opened it before we finished last week. Full contents spoilered for length.

Nothing in that room, although there's a Bonestorm in a nearby room that'll probably ruin their day. The group mostly rely on the Kineticist to take care of any swarms, and this one happens to emit windstorm force winds around it, meaning the Kineticist's blast attack is impossible to use from range per the ranged attack rules for windstorms. So either he stands inside the eye of the storm and makes DC 20 + Spell Level concentration check to use his kinetic blast, or the group have to find some other way of attacking it. It's also got SR 20, so it's a pretty damned nasty encounter.

You should put a sign in front of the door in some language the party can't speak saying "welcome to the Bone Zone".

Situations like this are what make me dislike the restrictive rules of DnD.

To me, the obvious solution to this problem is to deploy an acid bomb into the room, then wait a day or two in the previous room. BUUUUTTT, The DND universe is super wonky, and does not compute the simple fact that VINEGAR will turn bones into soft rubbery bits over a few days, by dissolving all the calcium phosphate out. Let alone the "OMG, MY SKIN!" type acidity of an acid bomb.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KG55hUzQtrg

If DND obeyed reasonable rules, the bones in the room would become a nasty smelling brown putty adorning the floor and walls after a few days of continuous exposure to the acid bomb's emitted gas.

Throw in copious amounts of bicarbonate to neutralize the acid, then it is just a really big normal whirlwind instead of one loaded with sharp flying objects.

No self-respecting DM allows this kind of critical thinking though.

The idea is to create an acid fog effect inside the sealed room, but without casting the spell form.

Because not all acids are built the same. Acid bombs aren't balls of ultra powerful vinegar and are far too reactive to last in the environment.

As for "OMG, MY SKIN!" type acidity? The game used to have those all the time. Morale penalties. (Salt-Acids)

The reason why most acid lacks that is because... well... Then you would penalize all pain.

It's a creature made up in large part of pure, elemental hatred. Which mundane physical laws, exactly, do you expect to govern that?

I think it would be reasonable to expect you separate personal and character knowledge.
