You'll find that modding can consum your life. Be warned.

OK, so how many racial points do we get in this PBW game? I'm itching to make my .emp file but that's holding me back

5000, you should read the game description in PBW. Also make sure you read the Monsters rules text file included in Invasion! also 0.41 came with a 5000 point monster template race if you want to use that as a base.

[Ed Kolis]

It said "0, 2000, 3000, 5000"
