[QUOTE="Mind of tempest, post: 8313397, member: 7029233"] in the halfling thread, it became apparent that we lack a real wisdom focused race and apparently all the new fantasy race these days are all tentacles and chitin so as an experiment I am going to try and hammer out the basics for one. given we do not know that races stats will be going forward I am reluctant to stat them just yet but I have to parts for this cultures and look which are to other to important parts of a d&d race so I will start there. aesthetics that I can find for chitin destiny hive is a good starting point [ATTACH type="full" width="183px" alt="1624391755921.png"]138618[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="226px" alt="1624391847852.png"]138619[/ATTACH] mass effect collectors are good for more chitin creepiness and I am going for good guys but honestly somewhat unnerving.
