[QUOTE="Mercule, post: 2074441, member: 5100"] I'll agree that I'm not particularly inspired by the Raptorians, but they're better than the Illumians. I haven't found any of the new "featured" races from the "races of..." books particularly inspiring, though. Raptorians are at least better than Illumian, which isn't saying much. Still, I've got a spot for a flying race IMC, and had almost dispaired of filling it -- so, the Raptorians will likely be modified a bit and included. They'll just bear more physical resemblence to the old "Winged Folk". Statistically, they're okay, it's just some bits of the flavor text that are lacking. If they'd gone with winged elves, people would have griped about "yet another elven subrace". And the aarakocra have become somewhat associated with FR, I think. I loathe the concept of substitution levels. Since that's not the topic at hand, though, I'll leave it at that. Obviously, though, I'm unable to compare that section of the Race books. I'll agree that the Whisperknife is a nice PrC, though. I also liked the Champion of Corellon (I think that's the name). I always pictured elves as lightly armored, but the Champion strikes a reasonable balance. I'm not so sure I like the religious side of the class, but that's probably because IMC elves don't have any gods of their own and are rarely priests. The new fey race is kinda neat. Other than cosmetics, it's much more what I think gnomes should be like than silly bards. I don't like that most of the "new" races were just expanded entries on existing MM entries. That's a lame cop-out. Strangely, I find myself actually liking most of the new armor and weapons. Having the mithril armors actually stated out (including cost) is pretty cool. The exception to all this is the elven courtsword: a two-handed weapon that's finessable -- WTF? Spiked chain, sure, but an extralight claymore? [/QUOTE]
