Cool! I love the flavour text! I've snagged this as is and will be using it one day as an alternate PC race. Thanks! :D P.S. Welcome to posting the forum! This is a great first post!

I have a friend I occasionly play with whose characters nearly always reach a point of no return where "something" just snaps and the character ends up killing himself in the most spectacular ways. Sometimes other characters gets dragged into the maelstrom that is his swan dive, sometimes not...

yes, but more importantly, just how is "Kraken" pronounced? :D

I agree with Arkhandus' recommentations. Aside from that they are really cool races. You appear have to have a cool set of races in your world. :)

Hey Nyaricus, looking forward to your commentary on my take on the Sharvellan. I'm also eager to see your fey race.

I'll bite. Make a race with a long prehensile tentacle for a nose. It branches out into three little dextrous stubs at the end of the tentacle-nose. Their nose is their only manipulatory appendage. Instead of legs, they have a large slug-like base to their body. Their eyesight is poor...

Comic relief. Okay, then I can only assume that your *-ophile races are so named to allow for the deliberate "humour" of the necrophile & paedophile "jokes"... The reason I say this is that your race descriptions don't really support the names. For one, there doesn't seem to be any Greek...

Since everyone else appears to be providing "how to" style of answers, I'll step up to the plate with my views on the "why" questions that you posed. Frankly, I'm surprised that no one else has come forward with this. Perhaps all the posters so far haven't played much 2nd ed or earlier? I...

um... dante58701... are you serious? Some of those races appear to be parodies... No offense intended if this is a serious posting, but I do honestly find it hard to envision your typical gaming group not laughing, a lot, at some of your creations. Now, on the other hand if you're purposely...

Okay, now I'm just bumping it! :D I'm going with the theory that somehow you simply missed seeing this. If I don't get a reply this time, then I'll assume that you've abandoned this thread until you prove otherwise..

I began reading the first page and then realized there were 8 pages!! Wow! Even the races are different in this world. Has there been any efforts to compile all this creativity into a more readable format? I'm thinking that a web page with all the info sorted into categories (racial info...

Add Centaurs simply because it sounds like what you really want is change and introducing a race that's significantly different from the norm will definitely create change. If you don't have their info handy, they're in the SRD, check them out here...

You are correct, I had misjudged the height / weight ratio. They aren't technically thin. Although, what is an "average" weight for a given height can vary quite widely depending on body type and muscle or bone density. I for example am 5'7" and 220 Lbs. By many measurement standards, that...

Oh, well in that case, they're just perfect the way they are! :lol: :lol: You're welcome. They really are a neat race. I like the flavour you've given them. You really have made them mysterious. However, unlike what I commonly see people do, you didn't fall back on giving them tonnes of...

These do sound pretty cool. My only thoughts on them are: 1) I agree with Nyaricus in that they seem to be getting more than they're losing. It's not a lot, but it probably puts them in above ECL 1. 2) You state upfront that they are supposed to fill the niche of the Elves, so perhaps this...

I was gonna just bump this to get your attention, but I figured that (1) I was bored, and (2) a contribution makes for a better attention-grabber than just "bump", so I grabbed one of your races and ran with it. EVERYTHING I've written below is merely suggestions and suppostions formed by...

I believe that the distinction is that the Homebrews subsection of the Creature Catalogue section is intended for homebrew monsters, while the House Rules section is for um... everything else! :D A case could be made that if original monster creations are important enough for their own...

I'm not super-skilled at the arcane artform of assigning ECL, but given the strength & con bonuses, natural armor, AND free toughness feat, I think that it is definitely more than +1. I don't know if it would be all the way to +3, but certainly +2. P.S. Cool race! :D

I don't know if Phil is still reading this thread, (he appeared to stop posting around about when the thread became more about the value of reviews than his original post), but I would also suggest that you scale back your fantasy items, not completely, but to a bare minimum and then release...

Hi Nyaricus, I'm glad that you took my comments as intended. I knew that I was questioning some of your proposed ideas and I was a bit concerned that you might take offence, and that wasn't my intent at all. Now, as for your races, I do have some more comments / suggestions based on your last...
