[QUOTE="Corinnguard, post: 9283794, member: 7033886"] Agreed. It has to be higher than that. A number of D&D races over the last 50 years have been given ample amounts of backstory. And while that backstory is mostly fluff, it has given everyone who has played D&D an idea on what these races are like. And there have been attempts to inject more race mechanics into a character as they leveled up. There was 3e's Racial Substitution Levels in it's various Race books ([I]Races of Stone, Races of Destiny, etc.) [/I]and it's Racial Paragon Classes ([I]Unearthed Arcana)[/I]. 4e went about it by giving a given race's racial traits a boost at each tier. Outside of D&D, Pathfinder 1st and 2nd edition have done it with racial archetypes for some of their classes and ancestral feats. Then there is Level Up's new origin system. ;) There's more work that needs to be done here. ;) [/QUOTE]
