[QUOTE="Istbor, post: 6936441, member: 6801670"] I like the general idea of your world. A once peaceful place turned upside down and inside out. Great cities become massive labyrinths and dungeons. It is a cool image and idea, one that seems like you have well in hand which as Lanliss stated, could be why there has not been a lot of responses. I am not an avid fan of 'over the top' races. I don't dislike the occasional fresh idea (in fact I am totally excited for Volo's), but a couple of fellow players back in college seemed to beat the uniqueness of unique races out it. So... Horse people and Bunny Liches are not my thing. Though I will agree that the concept is pretty joke provoking. I see what you are hoping for with painting them as very evil and mobid, but then you just have evil morbid bunnies. I want to think that it will work, but in my experience, once something is a joke in your campaign or world, it will generally remain that way. As a Final Fantasy fan, I approve of your Rat folk. I would be totally cool with a non-evil Skaven race really, that was plucked out of Warhammer. I guess... I just like ratmen. I am not sure what is trying to be accomplished for your Kobolds. I have to agree with Chaos, that subtle or almost undetectable differences between the sexes from outsiders, but glaringly obvious from the Kobolds perspective. As is, it just feels like we are being told details that don't carry a lot of meaning and are somewhat confusing as written. I feel the stock Kobold form is ripe for this sense of mockery of form. Unless I missed that these do in fact have wings then, not only are they diminutive in size compared to Dragons, they are flightless. Did your Dragons breathe flame or other elements? Do these Kobolds? Again, I apologize if I missed some that while trying to cover a lot of information on this race. I think your core concept for them is great, keep them both sexed. I just don't see the need for this shadowing of Human genders as a gaffe to their race (which you did state could be as a sign of strength, so contradictory) when their differences from their Draconic ancestors should be what causes them grief. All said and done, it is your world, so you make the rules. We can only input opinion. I will still read it and offer any thoughts should you seem to want them. [/QUOTE]
