League of Pathfinders: Core Races
I've been working on creating a League of Legends setting for Pathfinder, starting with races from the setting. While League is home to a wide bevy of characters, the variance between power levels of species means not all of them are suitable for playable races. The following are what I think to be some of the key races of the setting though I do have more made.
These races were created using the Race Builder chapter of Advanced Race Guide, published by Paizo Inc, and range between 8-11 RP.
HUMAN +2 to One Ability Score: Humans gain a +2 racial bonus on one ability score of their choice at creation to represent their varied state. Medium: Humans are Medium creatures and thus have no bonuses or penalties due to their size. Normal Speed: Humans have a base movement speed of 30 feet. Bonus Feat: Humans select one extra feat at 1st level. Skilled: Humans gain an additional skill rank at 1st level and one additional rank whenever they gain a level. Languages: Humans begin play speaking Common. Humans with high Intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages, such as Druidic).
KIILASH +2 Strength, +2 Dexterity: Kiilash are swift and strong. Medium: Kiilash are Medium creatures and thus have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.

After 24 hours, any negative levels a shade has accrued are removed without the need for any additional saving throws.
