    First, I do not know if the answer to one of my question has being answer before; if it has, I apologize.

    Ok, so first am hoping that someone can help me or direct me on how I can create more kits, and although I have seen some right here on SP and others in ?other? websites, I have either not like them or just thought that they were too unbalance or overpowered.
    I will try to make them on my own, but I do not really understand the whole process to make them (@CamDawg I saw your guide on that other website, but it all looks like in Greek to me :o )

    In addition, I like to know ideas for kits, since I plan to make one more kit per class (I know that barbarian, monk and sorcerer cannot be kited :) ). I already know what I want for fighter, thief and paladin, but a do not know about the others. Now keep in mind that what I am looking for is for well balance and hopefully as close as possible to D&D rules (2ED. since the game works with it).

    Now the second question is that, does anyone know if is possible to make a custom race;
    I have an idea for one more race but I do not know if even possible. Also if possible, any feedback about new races will be nice ;) .

    You have two options for custom races. Neither is optimal. You can set it through scripting that happens right after the game begins or you can create a potion or book that changes the race right after the game starts. Like I said....both options suck. Give CamDawg's tutorial another try. What I did when I made my kit was to make my kit right next to the tutorial. I had a few problems that the kind folks over at G3 were more than happy to assist me with. WEIDU is intimidating at first, but I assure you that once you've finished your first kit you'll have a good grasp of what's going on.
    EDIT: I just remembered a third way to make custom races. Simply give the attributes of the new race in the CLAB of a new kit. This will make more sense when you've read more of Cam's tutorial.

    Can this not be posted in the OTHER topic that I started not long ago? As that was never really finished and I didn't receive much help :(

    An advice:

    You would most likely be able to receive more info and help on such a subject, if you posted your queries on a site such as http://www.pocketplane.net , http://www.gibberlings3.net , http://www.spellholdstudios.com , etc. seeing as these are modding communities created for the purpose of making mods, and helping each other out in the making of these...

    Furthermore CamDawg has written an excellent tutorial on the subject, which you ought to read http://forums.pocketplane.net/index.php/topic,630.0.html
