Message: <blockquote data-quote="Summer-Knight925" data-source="post: 6035171" data-attributes="member: 80297">I am about to begin campaign creation of an Oriental Setting, using Japanese, Chinese, Hindu, and Middle Eastern Myths and legends (genies and Oni until your characters forget what demons and devils are anyone?)I am going to keep all the "core races" found in D&D/Pathfinder (I should state it is pre-4e D&D, however, a few of the races from core 4e will appear)My question is how can I go about mixing the following races into the setting?Dwarves (going to use Tolkien's intent and say Dwarfs from henceforth)Elves (also using Tolkien intent for Elfs), including DrowHalflings (my table has always called them hobbits, but the shire will not appear in this realm)Gnomes (using pathfinder makes it easier, gnomes are fey-ish and that makes it run a bit smoother I guess)And any of the 'outsider' races.Tieflings, Aasimar, the elemental races (depends on your setting/ruleset), and others.Orcs and goblins and what I call "Horde-lings" are pretty much set, especially kobolds.After all, kobolds in a society that sees dragons as beings of wisdom and greatness can have some differences than those of a european-esc settingSo, if you would be ever so helpful, how would you wish to and/or go about the races in an "eastern" setting.take note of the mixing mythologies will make a few 'regions', thus a seemingly Indian area will be located at X, a japanese area around Y, and so on.You can bring up other cultures and societies, in fact, it would be awesome if you could.</blockquote>
