What is so offensive in how they are presented in Races of Stone? I only skimmed the book, but it seemed OK (and nothing out of the ordinary) to me.MerricB said:Dwarves as presented in Races of Stone need to go.

Plane Sailing said:The Bloodguard from Stephen Donaldsons 'Wounded Land' books are an interesting non-oriental take on monk like characters. I believe Monte Cook was very heavily inspired by them when he produced his monk-like 'unfettered' class in AE.
As someone mentions higher up in the thread, anything that allowed a separation of 'fighting' talents and 'mystical' talents would play very nicely into a Bloodguard like setup.

Jedi_Solo said:I don't see anything wrong with having someone that has trained themselves to fight unarmed and is devoted to physical and mental perfection. I see no reason they have to be from a far off land and have a shaved head though.
I'm quite the opposite. I'd like even less of a Mos Eisley cantina atmosphere.Rechan said:Only humans/demi-humans are integrated into society. Everything else is a monster that keeps to itself. Anything with at least an 8 intelligence, means of communication, not CE, and not utterly alien could say to itself "You know, if I use my innate strengths for this community over here, I bet I could make some gold!" Granted, this won't work with the local illithid, but a Giant could protect a village in exchange for sheep, orcs or ogres could do heavy lifting/logging/construction, and so on. Just to dispel the notion that "If it's not human/demi-human, it's a savage monster that wants to kill you."
Insight said:One of the big things that I'd like to see is the removal of all of the Asian flavored classes and put them in their own book. I'd say that the majority of the people that play D&D aren't familiar with Asian culture and thus have no interest in having these classes in the core rules.
