[QUOTE="Aristotle, post: 4473140, member: 5885"] I still thnk Dragonborn as an eventual evolution of the Dray (in a timeline advanced setting) would work. They would look a little different, maybe have a different racial ability. Elves, Halflings, Humans, and Dwarves are all good to go. Tiefling poses a problem, though I've always thought of the setting as being racially diverse... I bet they could be added with minimal fuss. Eladrin could be a more secretive sect of elves. It's really all about the fluff. I'd use Goliaths in place of Half Giants, and maybe make "Half Giant" an alias or derogatory name for them. Devas would require more research. I forget the other expected PHB2 races. Muls, Kreen, and Pterrans would need racial writeups. I'd be fine with the Pterrans and Thri-Kreen being a MM race personally but others feel more strongly in favor of them I'm sure. Clerics could remain as sun priests. Elemental power source will cover the rest of the clerics, and Primal will cover the druids. Paladins could possible remain, but some rewriting would need to be done. Fighter, Ranger, and Warlord are all fine as is. Rogue covers both rogue and bard and doesn't really need to be renamed to fit. Gladiator could be a new class, but I'd rather see it as a paragon path open for anybody who might be exposed to the arenas. Wizards would still be wizards, and practice Preserver techniques by default, but feats and paragon paths would allow for Defiler advancement at a cost. Warlocks would remain, though some pacts might be excluded. A Sorcerer King pact would be put in place for templars, but not all templars would have to be warlocks. Artificer could be in or out, and Swordmage can stay in the realms. [/QUOTE]
