[QUOTE="greywulf, post: 1467965, member: 4285"] *grin*. Phasing through stone isn't a pleasant experience and involves melding with the stone, becoming one with it as you pass. There's one scene in the Belgariad where Relg takes a guy through with him too and....um.....let's go halfway through. Not nice! For attitude (and Relg was a bit of an exception to this, which I won't go into here), picture ascetic monks, living deep underground, chanting, etc. They could probably use echoes to communicate over vast underground distances too. Somethink major like "there are no Gods" or "we're all going to die" or "the forefather of our race who we venerate was really an evil SOB" or "orcs are really elves with acne" or the ending to Seven or whatever. They'd probably start wise and clever but frail (+2 INT -1 STR -1 CON), slowly gain intelligence but gain strength (-2 INT +1 STR +1 CON to balance back) then lose the strength but gain higher dexterity (-2 STR +2 DEX, Small size or whatever). Each of those three life phases would have a different preferred class (Wizard, Fighter then Rogue) to eventually an "old" member of this race would have class levels like Wiz6/Ftr7/Rog4 in the body of a halfling. Cute. As to attitude, they'd probably be trying to halt this aging in some way. After all, imagine gaining Wizardly power then losing some of it as time passes and your mind loses it's sharpness. Now I'm picturing a halfling lich and that's JUST WRONG...... ewwwww.... Uhu. It would need some work to turn it into a whole race in itelf, but that does appeal to me......hmmmm..... maybe I'll figure it out and post up here. You're welcome. Good thread, this. Watch out for displacer humans. They're EVERYWHERE!!!! [/QUOTE]
