[QUOTE="The Glen, post: 7808910, member: 6800327"] Races were tricky. Mystara was like D&D Galapagos, it was created apart from AD&D so there were large differences in the races available. Drow were unheard of, Mystara already had five species of reptilian humanoids so the dragonborn were superfluous. Half races didn't exist in the original canon. So I decided to stick with the canon, what you omit is often more important than what you include. So replacing the omitted races were creatures native to Mystara alone. The loyal lupin, curious phanatons, mercurial rakasta, the ponderous tortles (I had created a version before they were added to 5th edition) and the capricious sidhe are all introduced. In addition there's unique Mystara versions of dwarves, halflings and elves supplanting their kin found on other realms. For subclasses I added dozens, 34 in total along with new backgrounds and even new factions devoted to various political goals in the Known World. I had to leave some out for space reasons I wrote so many. [ATTACH type="full"]114015[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
