[QUOTE="James Gasik, post: 8996985, member: 6877472"] I didn't even notice that part. I'd just say the writer made a mistake and called Mages Wizards because, well, pretty much everyone did, at which point you could say they meant Cleric not Priest, but then you have both the Air Genasi and the fact that Aasimar can be Druids (it's not stated in their writeup, but at the end of the races section where it discusses level limits for the various races- curiously, this is where you find out Tieflings can't be Druids, something that isn't stated in the Planescape boxed set where the race first appears). The idea that someone could be a multiclassed Invoker, Wild Mage, or Elementalist doesn't bother me, I'm shocked that wasn't an option for some races already. The only thing that I can think of is that since Planescape is a "meta setting", this was more done in case you wanted to mix rules from different settings, like allow players to be Priests from Legends and Lore, Faiths and Avatars, Shamans, Crusaders, Spellsingers, or what have you. Though in that case, the fact that, say, Harpers, Shadowwalkers, and Psionicists got left out seems like an oversight. Psionicists especially; some 1e Planar creatures had Psionics, and The Complete Psionics Handbook made sure to give some of them those powers back- but after Dark Sun, there's barely a mention of Psionicists existing anywhere. Surely more races with Psionic ability exist, and races other than Dwarves and Halflings can be multi-classed Psionicists? [/QUOTE]
