[QUOTE="mfrench, post: 3885324, member: 32901"] Very interesting ideas. I like the potential for occasional comic relief that the Beguiler would bring, however that is the class with which I am least familiar. I will look it over, and will tentatively allow it. The other choices would all be welcome! For everyone, I've narrowed down the list of potential races, and they are: Eastern (former) Empire Human (oriental) -- priests are Shugenjas Spirit Folk (from OA) -- blend in with the easterners The 'Native Races': Human (arabic) -- traders and nomads from the far western wastes Shifter (from Eberron CS) -- usually live in the wastes, reviled as demon-spawn Changeling (from Eberron CS) -- prevalent in the big cities, reviled as demon-spawn Korobokuru (use stats for a dwarf, only small, no darkvision, and Favored Class = Barbarian) -- live in the wastes Goliath (from Races of Stone) -- frequent the mountains that separate East from West These peoples are native to the western lands; so rarely are they trained as martial adepts, that for one to even be seen with a katana is probably going to cause a fight. They are never members of Houses. The Empire treated them much like the Native Americans: tribes with various languages, ancestry and religious beliefs, and now after many years they have sort of blended their religious traditions to the point that Shamans will serve any of them. Stats will be from a 32-pt point buy, with costs as per the DMG. The normal Alignment system just doesn't seem appropriate, so I want to use a variant like Honor and Taint, from Unearthed Arcana. I will formalize something later. For the moment, assume that this won't be E6. We can always decide to change that later on down the line, if we think the campaign calls for it. For that matter, all of this is open for discussion. If there is a rule/class/feat out there that you feel is appropriate, I will try to work it in. I've edited to first post to include some of this stuff. [/QUOTE]
