Tonberry Race: Rough Draft:
#18
Having a little trouble reading your post, not sure if English isn't your first language but... it seems you've missed my points on several areas.

Basically, this race is broken- parts of it are just plain too strong and others don't follow the uniform rules for building races. Not sure who 'Vlad' is, is that what you're calling Viladin? If it's another player who made stuff, then his material isn't really usable as a source for any official ffd20 discussions...

There are rules for building races in Pathfinder, they made an entire pdf about it and the system can be found for free online. Use that to try and get the closest you can but... flaws don't exist in Pathfinder, there are Drawbacks which can net you additional traits but you can only take one so by your own logic, only worth half a feat.

There are no solid rules for gaining traits so saying '2 traits = 1 feat' doesn't make getting 7 bonus feats over 20 levels fair. It just doesn't. Also, while traits can be 'earned' or 'given' the concept of getting 14 of them is outlandish at best.

You don't have to take my criticism, but believe me when I say: This race? Doesn't work. You pretty much have to start from the ground up, it's horribly balanced in that it isn't at all and I dread for anyone playing in a game where something like this is used. Not because it's overly powerful, but it's just blatant power gaming and min/maxing. 'Oh... sure this ability is super strong, but it has these drawbacks worked in to balance it.' That doesn't balance it, in fact it does the opposite, it makes the race incredibly terrible on one side and incredibly potent on the other, there is no middle ground.

EDIT: Also, not sure if you've looked over the ffd20 equipment in over a year but... all cloth armor gives an AC bonus. +1-+2, with potential +5 enhancement bonus.
There are rules for how creatures are supposed to function, just use those to try and make this work.
