Just like in the title - how much XP should +1 soak be worth as a species' trait? I'm working on an arthropoid species for a space opera game and wanted to reflect their tough carapaces. Your input will be appreciated!
Plus one soak as racial trait - how much XP?
20XP. See CRB80, the tier 4 Enduring talent.
Also, while not part of the question, +1 Defense is also 20XP, the Defensive talent (same page). However, the elves have a watered down version of that, Nimble (CRB142), that sets your Defense to 1 instead of increasing it. That option is 10XP.
Right, I forgot there's a Talent for that. Thanks a lot!
