[QUOTE="The Crimson Binome, post: 7247528, member: 6775031"] Hey everyone, I was brainstorming about a campaign world I might want to run in, and I had the idea of a world where the common races were extinct and the only people left were monsters. The basic premise is that the Big Bad conquered the world, but after a thousand years or whatever, eventually something happened and now the monstrous minions of evil have regained their free will. I know it's not the most original idea, but it's something I wanted to explore. At the current stage of planning, I'm just coming up with the list of playable races. All of them are going to be designed from scratch to be balanced against each other, so don't worry about that. The only real constraint is that they're supposed to be [I]cursed[/I] monsters, rather than anything natural, so I'm not really looking for generic evil humanoids. To give you an idea, my current list of [I]definite[/I]s that I want to include is: [LIST] [*]Medusa [*]Harpy [*]Minotaur [*]Vampire [*]Werewolf [*]Ghost [/LIST] A couple that I'm not so sure about are: [LIST] [*]Lamia [*]Rakshasa [*]Kappa [*]Kitsune [/LIST] What say you all? What kind of fun, distinct monstrous humanoids would you want to play? I'm not really looking for more than about a dozen races, but nothing on that second list is set in stone. Or if you have any ideas for the first list, and distinct traits or abilities that you would definitely want to see them have, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
