Here you go a guide on C/P while avoiding O/P or Common bugs also from poeple flaming your ass.

A few hints to tell if its over powered:
1) does it have more than 5 or 6 skills, if so probly over powered. If you want to play all thsoe skills make two races then. And also only an Admin would ever play it because not many people want to get lvl 72 on a race.
2) does it have 500hp or 3.0 speed completely invis? If so OP
3)Damage skills or vamp skills, this coincides with 1. If you have several damage skills, and you kill a player in 1 shot, probly over powered. Or if you have stacked up vamp with a divider of 1 probly also over powered because no one can kill you.
4) Don't be decieved one skill can be over powering by itself. I got this one race and it had a divider in the Vampire as .01, and they made it go off every time. 1 headshot was like 1000 health, the race itself was over powered by that one skill if they had a diveder of 2 or 3 maybe would've been a great race. Dont over do a skill!!!

I know... if a race is overpowered can depend on the server owner and the races there, but when posting here you have to go for the average server, not yours.

A few hints on C/P:
1) No more of the Long jump invis hp speed crap theres probly 20 races that do that already and if a server owner really wants one they can probly just coppy and paste the abilities in place not hard.
2) Stay away from whats already done. and dont over do the skills like if you have levitation and speed is there really a need for Long jump, the type of thing i mean. If you already have 2 attack skills do you really need another one to just do more dps?
3)Yes C/P is the starting steps. Be origonal though, look through some of the cool races and then combine things that arent combined before or not often. so try and do something like stealing someones weapon, and chance to avoid an ultimate.(not saying they go well together just an example.)

Double check your races before posting them.
1)make sure levels in the skills and levels per a skill match up, i cant tell you how many people do this.
2)make sure the number of skills matches your number of skills, i know i've done this before but i test my own races first.
3)make sure you have the player_attacker and player_victim or what not correct, i know bad things can happen, playing one place and everytime someone got hit they got 880 hp cause they had their starting berserk as player_victim(overpowered btw) Make sure these line up.
4) have you skills correct, dont have it go skill 1, skill 2, skill 2, skill 4. seen it happen before.
5) Have your skill names and skill descriptions matched up. Gets erritating to have to go in and find out wat the skill does then put in the skill name for it.

Please feel free to add to these lists in other posts btw
