[QUOTE="ziegander, post: 4361473, member: 72250"] Yes, flavorwise they are definitely an oddity. I am actually thinking of putting in one more feature that will help to balance the crazy penalty bonus thing once and for all. The thing is, these guys live in dense forests where it is almost perpetually low-light or totally dark. Whatever it is that they need from sunlight they can get through reflected and/or refracted ight. Something else in light however, something that isn't present when the light is refracted or reflected, grievously wounds them. These Pantherfolk actually must spend a certain amount of time in indirect contact with light each day or they will grow weak and eventually die. So, no they do not live underground, and no they actually can't just hide out in darkness all day either. It's an awkward balancing act. Their racial invisibility power is a natural defense mechanism they've acquired to shelter them from the light, they literally bend the light around themselves so that they can walk around freely, and in fact completely invisible. All of this being said, this race may be better off as a non-PC race. It's really a drag, but it's difficult to see them adventuring much with their unique racial traits. [/QUOTE]
