summary

4th Edition: racial traits

    Fourth Edition:Because the Fourth Edition of Dungeons & Dragons is ridiculously more powerful than previous editions, it is more like a card game than a fantasy adventure campaign. The levels from the fourth edition are delayed for balance and are to be considered completely optional. The racial features and powers are given at zero level.

    Powers and Features: racial traits. [Character Advancement] Player’s Handbook (Arcane, Divine, and Martial Heroes) v.4; pp 29
