Ultimate Race Creator

Description

 Create Your Own Playable Race!

Would you like to play as an undead T-rex? How about a cyborg pixie? A mimic? A swarm of extra-planar fire squirrels? This is the Ultimate Race Creator, and with it you can play everything, literally EVERYTHING.

The Ultimate Race Creator is a 5e expansion that took the 5e races, gutted them, and then took them carefully apart to see how they ticked. We boiled down the standard races and parsed them out into an easy to use modular points system that allows you to create your own player race in the same amount of time it would take you to roll up a character.

This is it, this is the only book you’ll ever need for your player races. We’ve made and carefully balanced more than 1000 racial traits that completely encompasses everything we could think of. If you can imagine it, you can be it.

And if you’re having trouble imagining it, we’ve come up with quite a bit as well. This book includes 48! new player races built using the Ultimate Race Creator, each one fleshed out with lovingly crafted lore and original artworks by our talented artists including:

• Ammahko. Ancient statues from the beginning of the world found buried and still compelled to obey their instructions from the ineffable will of the gods of creation.
• Anubite. Canine folk from the astral plane, tasked with shepherding spirits to their afterlives and capable of blinking in and out of existence.
• A.R.M.E.T.  Built in a long forgotten age to protect and serve, these amorphous beings become a magical suit of armor for their chosen pilot.
• Bakuman. These elephantine creatures are nomadic soothsayers and masters of dreams, though to slumber near one is to invite nightmares.

Still not enough for you? We wanted to make sure that you could play as whatever you wanted, and we found 5e lacking in that respect. This book includes 20 new racial feats, 20 new racial backgrounds, and an assortment of 20 new spells, each linked to magical racial traits or to casters at large.

But I hear you say, “20-30 minutes to make a race? I need one now!” Well we’ve got you covered! Say hello to the Random Race Creator and the Lore Generator! You can create an entire player race, complete with lore, with just a few (okay a lot) die rolls!

But I hear you say, “I already have my character done, what can this do for me?” Well I’ll tell you, we made over 1000 racial traits, that’s over 1000 cool abilities just waiting to be turned into Augments, Magic Items, or Curses. We built creators that allow you to graft crab claws and robot arms onto your character, and if that doesn’t sound incredible, I don’t know what does.

Still not excited? How does Ultimate Pet Creator sound? We have all these lovely racial traits, why not make familiars and animal companions with them? This book gives you everything your ranger needs to ride a mechanical wolf, or for your wizard to have a tiny mimic as a familiar, what more could you possibly want?

I’ll tell you what you could possibly want, a bunch of NPCs! We used some of the thousand racial traits to put together 10 NPCs with incredibly interesting lore and full stat blocks.

This book was a labor of love, crowdfunded by like-minded supporters and brought before the TTRPG community in hopes that we never again have to say “no you can’t be that”.

Our little team has more than 20 collective years of GM experience and far more play experience. I still remember my first campaign, being so excited with my character idea and so dissapointed when my GM showed me the paltry list of race options. And after more than a decade of my own time as a GM, I’ve seen that same look of dissapointment in a ton of other players.

No more, no more constrictive box around your creativity. Be anything you can think of, BE EVERYTHING. And we here at LootTheBoss are happy to provide you with that opportunity to adventure as a flying squid, or integrate an electric warthog race into your next commercial RPG project. Have fun creating!
