[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6432274, member: 92511"] And this is bad why? You are "creating a new race" how else besides "winging it" were they supposed to do it? "A new race gets 3 special abilities" ? How powerful are those abilities supposed to be? Does every race automatically get an ability bonus? Weapon profs? 1 cantrip per day, 1 power equivalent to a 2nd level spell...4th level? Who/how is "making up fantasy creatures" supposed to be gaged in anything more concrete? "Winging it" is the only guideline 1) anyone should need, 2) they could possibly put in printed form as covering all conceivable corner cases is ridiculous to even suggest, and perhaps most importantly/reassuring 3) the avenue they want to encourage. I am very pleased with what I see here...though am sickened by their continuing attempts to ram elfier-elves down out throats and make them seem kewl. Better than using warforged or kenders as examples though, by far. So, it's a matter of degrees. The good def outweighs the "ugh." [/QUOTE]
