In fact it would be somewhat refreshing to have race make a tangible difference both mechanically and roleplaying-wise and treating long-lived races differently to short-lived races would be a fundamental aspect of this. However, there should be some active mechanical compensation for playing a short-lived race so the choice between playing a long-lived or short-lived race is as even as possible; just different flavours and opportunities. Perhaps we need to hearken back to the 1e XP tables - long-lived races get a broader and marginally deeper base to work from but developing from this point is much more expensive than for short-lived races.Now this seems interesting to me! There's the beginning of a mechanical framework here that's resonating in my head. Let me think further on this before addressing the rest of your wonderful post.Best RegardsHerremann the Wise</blockquote>
