[QUOTE="Maidhc O Casain, post: 5894020, member: 29558"] I really like the fluff you've put together for these little fellas! I also think they fill a niche with the whole "Gnomes' dark cousins" schtick, and I think that's needed as well. I've found myself drawn to the small races recently, so more options for them is a plus for me. I like the Gripli, too, but I tried to make a Gripli PC and just couldn't make one that worked for me. Like the Tengu and Merfolk, I think they're just a little [I]too[/I] different for my taste in spite of the mechanical advantages. I'd use them as NPC's in a heartbeat, though. Not that they're [I]not[/I] playable - GlassEye's doing a great job with his Tengu - I just have a hard time playing them as differently as I should. SO - I'd like to see these guys in LPF. But I do think it's worthwhile to wait and see if the Race Guide changes anything about them that has a big impact before voting them in, and it sounds like the stealth question needs a little discussion. I think they're fine as-is from a balance perspective (a little front loaded, but that just means GM's can cut loose a little more ;)), but the fluff suggested for the WIS/Perception question is cool, and if we decide the stealth is too much I like the Knowledge (The Planes) replacement for its fit.
