[QUOTE="Neonchameleon, post: 8856130, member: 87792"] The weird thing is I could see exactly who they were trying to appeal to with the Ardling [I]1.0[/I]. A mostly female target audience who does want to play sparkly angelic animal people*. It's a race pitched at ten year old girls (and people who remember being ten year old girls) - which is fine, and there's plenty pitched at ten year old boys in D&D but I doubt there are any 10 year old girls on this board and only a few who remember being ten year old girls. And it's one case where the polling should be dumped because the target audience has so little overlap with poll respondents. Shifters again have their target audience. Shifters aren't animal people. They're werewolves and other lycanthropes cut down to fit within the design space allowed by 3.5 LA+0 humanoid races (and should absolutely be tuned up for One D&D with the full transformation coming at level 5) Ardling 2.0? This new take on race appears to me as if someone went to a Furry convention and tried to make a generic race to represent Fursonas starting with the common feature that the furries at the convention are almost all humans wearing masks on their head so the race is humanoid body, animal mask. * For anyone who's watched Wednesday Ardling 1.0 would be Enid Sinclair's first choice of PC race.
