[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5343105, member: 92511"] [b]What NOT to play...[/b] I had this idea of various race/class combo's that...while I'm sure would be fun for some people, in the interest of "verisimilitude" in the Orean world simply can NOT be. When I finished the sketch I looked and thought, hm this might be a fun one-shot for a jokey game of ridiculous nature...but as for actual characters in Orea...no. These guys wouldn't/will not exist. So, in the great company of "No-no's" we have: The Halfling Barbarian: as stated in many places barbarians of Orea are the human clans of the Gorunduun. Barbarians are a culture and a class and not allowed for any other than human (or in rare instances half-elf or half-orc). The Satyr Paladin: While I really liked how his armor came out, paladins in Orea are Lawful Good or Lawful Evil...and satyr's in Orea, while being "good" on the whole, are simply NOT Lawful enough (or lawful at all, actually. It's completely against their "party all the time" nature) to pull off paladinic status. The Goblin Wizard: Goblins have spellcasters in their societies. They are shamans. Shamans do get some spells that have equivalent arcane effects but shamans on Orea access the "natural" magic source. Arcane magic, as wizardry, is not accessible to/by goblins. The Sprite Monk: cuz...well...just c'mon. It's just silly. Waaaay to flighty by nature to even attempt the discipline necessary to train as a monk. The Lizardman Bard: Again, c'mon. Every tune goes "Thsss Sss Ths Hissssss Thsssth thssss." Not happenin'. The Minotaur Druid: (here come the Dragonlance fans and WoW'ers to skin me alive) Minotaurs on Orea are, well, BAD guys. They are evil creatures of a malicious and ferocious nature. They really do not have the faculties to mesh in the neutral balancey one-with-natureness of the Ancient Order of Mistwood. So, sorry again. No minotaur druids. As with goblins, if you are UNfortunate enough to find a minotaur settlement of sufficient size (highly uncommon) you may encounter a minotaur shaman or witchdoctor happy to sacrifice you to their bull-demon deity...but not a druid.
