[QUOTE="IronWolf, post: 5894055, member: 21076"] I do agree that the fluff write up is good. I see it that we are on the verge of needing to decide our take on races in general with the Races Guide on the horizon. Rather than address it race by race we might need to determine overall guidelines for acceptable races to be allowed in and then apply that "formula" to races from the Races Guide. Otherwise we are apt to be inconsistent with our acceptance of race proposals. That is one of the reasons I would like to see a delay in adding new races to see what really is in the Races Guide book when published. In the interim, perhaps working up a guideline when reviewing new races. If we do allow new races I think we should accept them RAW. No changes, modifications, etc (save for fluff). That to me opens even more of a slippery slope. We try to keep as close to RAW as possible to ease entry for people into the LPF. If we start swapping racial abilities someone will join in 6 months and then be surprised the race doesn't work like they think it does. I think it is best to avoid that. [/QUOTE]
