[QUOTE="Koloth, post: 9734805, member: 6706231"] Oh, its a trap alright. But it might be a fun trap. 1/2 elves come from somewhere.... Over the years, my characters have been attacked in one form or another more often by humans then '[I]Monsters[/I]'. Most encounters with monsters have happened when the characters were doing what in modern terms would be called a Break and Enter into the monster's lair and the monster was just defending itself. I and others have played non standard races as PCs. Often with the fore knowledge that our reception in some places might be less then friendly. One downside I see to the almost anything can be a PC trend that both Hasbro and Pazio are embracing is the workload on the GM. Early GMs had to know Humans, Elves, 1/2 Elves, Dwarves and Hobbits. Now the list of critters that can be PCs is pages long. No way most GMs will know a fraction of the PC critter traits, feats, special abilities, etc. This is in addition to the ever growing list of classes, sub-classes, hundreds of general feats, etc. Complexity isn't always a good thing.
