Race abilities
By: Celticbarbarian Date: August 11, 2015, 5:41 am
---------------------------------------------------------
So one of our initial ideas is to incorporate several 'race
types' , each type will have a bonus and a drawback , a possible
example ( and don't take this as an official rule), is this:
Undead- bonus: immune to all mind effects, drawback : cannot
run. Example 2... Elf- bonus:sense magic, drawback, -1 hit
point. Any thoughts?

I like the idea. As a newbie, I'm not sure if it's my place to
suggest ideas of this sort, but for the two confirmed nonhuman
races (in the costume post) I thought about making the Plantae
resistant to certain weapons (swords, spears and staves) but
vulnerable to fire. Also, how about a "cold-blooded" rule for
the reptilian Krauvil? In other words, they suffer penalties if
the weather is cold and rainy, but if it's sunny, their stats
increase?

All suggestions are welcome Altansar. Like we said at Geekfest;
we'd like to build this world to suit all you lovely players. So
as far as we're concerned, the more suggestions the better -
though we can't promise to incorporate everything! :) There will
be more information posted on races in the next week. Our
Webomancer is currently away, but as soon as he returns some of
our plans will be revealed *Throws a pre-emptive handful of
celebratory glitter* ;)

"Webomancer"
He's been called worse I suppose 😜
(P.s Happy birthday Webomancer!)
Yep, all going well the race rules will be revealed on his
return, plus some, if not all the race backgrounds will be
unveiled.
The only thing we can confirm at this time is that there will
not be any immunities, we gave found from past experience that
there's nothing worse than attacking a creature and belting it
several times to then hear it dryly comment the phrase "no
effect" GRRRRRR!
Everything has hit points and everything can be killed,
(something's just might need an army load of hitting first...)

Also it's a question of balance. We would rather people pick a
race because of the roleplay potential and not because of the
power gaming ability.

I agree, I picked a were creature because I find them
interesting rather than how powerful or weak they are in combat.

I see no problem with that, it could possibly cause some
distrust in whichever duchy you choose but could also lead to
some good role-playing.

I like the idea as then those to are in his companion never
quite know where his loyalties lie plus could be distrusted as
well which of course leads to stories unfolding...

I'm doing something a bit similar, Tromain is a shadow elf, but
he is chaotic good in alignment, when the SE race joined the
Claw he broke with them and set out on his own. So for now he's
an unaligned nomad but has intent to join the Crown. :D
