[QUOTE="JoeGKushner, post: 3843960, member: 1129"] In terms of 'ancient empire', I can see the appeal of it to a point. But not the way tieflings look or the traditional role. In some of the examples used in the OP, Melniboneans were mentioned. Not a bad comaprission as they have a direct link to Chaos via the pact with Arioch but they're all essentially humans in terms of appearance. Even Elric, an albino, isn't that far out of the reach of appearching to be human. In many of the 'ancient empires', it's some type of serpent or lizard ruler when an inhuman ruler is mentioned. So I guess I'm not seeing it. What really annoys me though is the effort of making the 'bastard' races, half orc, half elf, etc..., into actual races. They're there for player's options. Making them more than the rarity goes against the whole concept of them being rare half-=breeds that don't fit in one world or the other. If there are hundreds or thousands of half-elves/orcs/etc..., then they don't NEED to fit in with humanity or their other parent race because they have plenty of companionship among their OWN race.
