Message: <blockquote data-quote="Belorin" data-source="post: 4041325" data-attributes="member: 33129">One of the other games I play in a lot is Arduin and it has many races, the newest version has approximately 21 player races ranging from humans to centaurs and phraints (similar to thri-kreen, sort of).So my player races for 4E would include;Archon*CentaurDragonbornDrowDwarfEladrinElfGnomeGoblinHalflingHumanKoboldMinotaurOrcThri-kreenTiefling*Archons are a race similar in origin to Tieflings in that they were human at one time and then were infused with angelic essence in order to fight an ancient evil that threatened the entire world. Back when the empires of the Dragonborn and Tieflings were at war and it seemed that they would destroy each other, a group of wizards began seeking power that would enable them to take advantage of this. In their search they made contact with beings from the Far Realms, they were instructed to gather an army and the beings from the Far Realms would empower it with a portion of their own power. This created an army of illithids that soon took control of the region and threatened to consume the world.Nearby, the city of Archon was ruled by a patriarch of Pelor who prayed to his god for guidance in ridding the world of this menace. In response Pelor sent one of his angels to the patriarch, instructing him rally his people and he would grant them the power to defeat the aberrations. Pelor sent angels to meld with the humans granting them their power.In a great battle most of both armies were destroyed, some illithids escaped to the Underdark and what few of the followers of Pelor were left were called upon to give up their angelic possessors, unfortunately the symbiosis was complete, the human hosts would die without them. Pelor considered this and granted the angels the ability to leave the human while leaving its energy behind. These Archons as the called themselves returned to their homes and families. A by-product of this was that any offspring of an Archon was born with certain angelic aspects, golden skin and silver eyes. As with Tieflings any Archon union produces Archon offspring and Archons seem to prefer their own race as mates.The story needs some work still and I need to see the mechanics of player races before I decide what racial abilities to give the Archons.Bel</blockquote>
