[QUOTE="Omega Lord, post: 1058916, member: 7393"] Personally, I love AU. It puts a whole new spin on the whole 'fantasy RPG' bit and I love it. Races- Eh, lukewarm about most of them. Like the faen, just dont feel any pressing need to play them. Sibbeci- its not that I dont think they are a good race its just that their mentality and apperance put them in the "Will only play if forced to" file, personal preference of course. Litorians- I like the image of a lion dude with dreadlocks, might play one eventually. Giants- I like them alright I might play one straight off. Mojh- like em and the cultural implications they have. Heard a suggestion that Mojh with all 3 racial levels can "give birth" to true mojh rather than kobolds, I will probalby do this in the eventuality that I actually get to play in this setting. Runechildren- me likey, I may devise a counterpart for them. Verrik- alien mindset, neat apperance, psionics, definitely considering running one of these guys my first time out. My general impression of the classes- holy monkey:) :) :) :) batman! Almost every one of the class descriptions made me want to play that class. Akashik(sp?)- This is the first time I have ever wanted to play a skills based class EVER. Rouge/bard never really did it for me but the Akashik, mmmmmm. Champion- Paladins done right, nuff said. Greenbond- Neat alternative to druids. As has been said before, much closer to the spirit talking wise man image of druids. Mage Blade- A caster/fighter where I dont have to go into some convoluted prestige class and/or quibble about armor? Where do I sign up?! Magister- As someone else said "out wizards the wizard" and I like it that way. Oathsworn- I like these guys better than the monk really. I just have this mental image of a high level oathsworn swimming oceans, running from one end of a continent to the other and other such superhuman deeds. I like this class alot :). Runethane- Neat take on the rune user type mage. Witch- Genius plain and simple. I like the new magic system MUCH more than the typical vancian spell system. The flexablity alone boggles the mind. For the record yes I am a little bit of a Monte Cook fanboy but not because he helped make 3.0 or his support of D&D. I like his stuff because he consistently delivers high quality products which, more often than not, are immediately put in my "idea factory". I am not saying that he has not made perfect products but on average, I am very pleased with the products he has worked on. He also strikes me as a pretty decent guy to boot :). Just my 2 cents.
