I'll use my seemingly-cursed-to-almost-but-never-quite-be-published rules for constructs (last slated for the ill fated 4th issue of EnWorld Gamer, now in limbo) and develop grafts from there working with the already existant WotC rules for grafts or a varient thereof. D20 Future/Apocolypse has rules for mutations that can be adapted, as does the aforementioned Chaositech.  d20 M's Urban Arcana has some tattoo rules that might work, and maybe on a larger scale the dragon marks of Eberron for permanent versions.Still looking for a lot of that other stuff, especially the stuff that needs mechanics and not just background flavor.As far as races go, all the standards are fine, but I feel like such a setting would need some that aren't just what are, essentially, humans of different sizes and specialities, while avoiding some of the played out cat/dog/lizard people of traditional fantasy.A construct race I think is a must.  Whether that is warforged, ironborn, or something else I don't know.An amphibious race, balanced against a human, but I don't know if the DnD mosterous froglike races work well as player races.An insect races, I am thinking of taking the Faen from Arcana Unearthed and adapt them into a race of humanoid insects (maybe again taking a que from  Perdido Street Station and have all the sentient members of the race be one sex, while the other is a mindless breeder caste.)Plant races?  Flying races (I think races of the wild had one)?  Others?  Ideas?</blockquote>
