I have been working on racial templates for an Elder Scrolls DF game, myself! I am curious what you might think about this alternate take. I generally went for a lower-cost interpretation of the races. Also, I am setting the game 150 years after the events of Skyrim; the Dwemer have since returned and are a playable race. I will give the players 10 points to spend on a racial template. If they choice a non-human template, they can pay for the difference via the discretionary advantage points in their professional template, with quirks, or with the method of overlap described in DF:3.
Breton [10] Magery 0 [5] Magic Resistance 1 (Improved) [5]* *Can purchase up to 5 levels Nord [10] Temperature Tolerance 1 (Cold)[1] Battlecry. Terror (Requires HT Roll -10%, Limited Use 1/day -40%, Nuissance Effect: Obvious -5%, Maximum Duration >30 seconds -75%, Selective Area +20%, ) [9]* *Limited Use and Maximum Duration are not RAW compatible, but without turning this into an Innate Attack, I had trouble finding a way to reduce the duration. Selective Area was added so that the Terror affects enemies, and not allies. Redguard [10] Resistant to Poison +3 [5] Fit [5] Imperial [10] Imperial Operator 1 [10]* Talent For: Acting, Carousing, Detect Lies, Diplomacy, Fast-Talk, Intimidation, Leadership, Panhandling, Public Speaking, Savoir-Faire, Sex Appeal, and Streetwise *this is Smooth Operator minus Politics Altmer [20] ST-1 [-10] IQ+1 [20] Magery 0 [5] Appearance (Attractive) [4] Elven Gear [1] Bosmer [20] Speak With Animals (Land Animals) [15] Forrest Guardian 1 [5]* *can take up to 4 levels of this talent Dunmer [20] ST-1 [-10] DX+1 [20] Magery 0 [5] Silence 1 [5] Argonian [20] Doesn't Breathe (Oxygen Storage) [10] Nicitating Membrane [1] Claws (Sharp) [5] Teeth (Sharp) [5] Terrain Adaptation (Wetlands) [5] Resistant to Disease +3 [5] Social Stigma (Minority Group) [-10] Default Cultural Familiary (Saxhleel) [-1]* *Disad due to Campaign default of Tamrielic Features: Born Biter and Head armor designed for Men or Mer does not fit. Kajiit [20] DX+1 [20] Per+1 [5] Night Vision 5 [5] Claws (Sharp) [5] Teeth (Sharp) [1] Fur [1] Social Stigma (Minority Group) [-5] Laziness [-10] Phobia (Entering Water) [-2] Dwemer [20] IQ+1 [20] HT+1 [10] Magery 0 [5] Night Vision 5 [5] Dwarven Gear [1] FP+3 [9] Basic Move -1 [-5] Greed [-15] Stubborn [-5] Dwemer Know-how [5]* Talent for Architechture, Armoury, Engineer, Smith, Thaumatology. Up to 4 levels of this Talent can be taken.

All players can speak, read and write this language at a native level for 0 points. Some Barbarians select an optional disadvantage which makes them illiterate for [-3] points. There are other racial languages which are fairly common. Players who choose a non-human racial template can add that race's language at a native level for free. Humans can add a language from this list for free, in addition to their native Cyrodilic (but not from the scholarly languages further down). Barbarians who are illiterate in Cyrodilic are also illiterate in a second language. Orcish Altmeris Bosmeris Dunmeris Dwemeris Ta'agra (Kajiit language) Jel (Argonian language) Scholarly characters have on their template the option to add additional languages. They may choose any of the above or select from the following list: Pyandonean (Sea Elf language) Falmer (language of the lost Snow Elves) Aldmeris (Ancient Elven root language) Ayleidoon (language of the lost Wild Elves) Nedic (an ancient precusor to Cyrodilic) Yoku (ancient language of the ancestors of the Redguards) Tinvaak (Dragon language) Any type of character can learn any of these languages by spending points acquired through Quirks.
