[QUOTE="Bayushi_seikuro, post: 8565328, member: 7024851"] One piece of advice that might help - Tom Baker had said his ambition playing the Doctor was to play up the alien nature. I could see an alien race in a game being like that - in fact, they may even look and Seem humanoid, but there should always be something UNDERNEATH. I guess the section about playing lizard folk in whichever book talked about that for roleplaying. That's how my friend ended up - he just took the lizard folk and any time an interaction was happening, he took the OPPOSITE of the 'proper' response by default. the whole key was that they were just pretending. Another thing to think about with alien/Other creatures and magic... they don't have to be wizards. They may have the mechanics of a wizard, but it's entirely possible that, like elves as beings of magic, this race doesn't understand what magic is. The effects they create just Are. They don't see it as an effect even, it's just what they do. Makes me think of the boy from the Twilight Zone who sends people to the Cornfield - I don't think it's ever explained HOW he does it, it's just accepted that he can AND DOES> [/QUOTE]
