[QUOTE="Ainamacar, post: 5342501, member: 70709"] I really love the idea of the Illumians as the embodiment of language, and they played a major part in one of the worlds of my homebrew setting. I also wanted to play one in our last 3.5 campaign, but they were not appropriate for the setting. When our group moved to 4e one of my first tasks was an Illumian homebrew, but again I never had the opportunity to play one. Mostly because I didn't refine it to the point where I was really happy with it. And shortly thereafter we decided that 4e wasn't for our group and started working on a system from scratch, at which time I converted them once again. Have I played one yet? No, in part because it doesn't fit with the GM's setting. Notice a recurring theme? :) (And I'm not bitter, restrictions are important to a flavorful setting.) So maybe it's just me, but they are actually the intended-for-PCs race that has fired my imagination the most, bar none. I admit that the "basically human" bit isn't that great, but for me that is a pretty minor fault. [/QUOTE]
