[QUOTE="kensanata, post: 3291578, member: 47845"] Then again, a reasonable set of defaults is nice to have. It all boils down to whether you think the Core should be playable without a single option/module or not. If it should be possible, then we can handwave anything that we suggest people take from the SRD – spells, equipment, weapons, armor, and even most of the race description. But since we are using a different set of attributes, we need to offer something relating the new attributes and some typical races, I think. I think of them as examples since my campaign has only human, kitsune and tanuki; no elves, dwarves, orcs, etc. BTW that is another instance where thinking in terms of elegance and symmetry is a mistake: We could have listed more or less races – do I hear somebody asking for orcs? – and it would not have made much of a difference. Having four of them in the Core is just cute, not necessary. [/QUOTE]
