Are classes of a world exclusive or merely preferred ?
Also are the racial desciptions the full traits or are there bits missing ? Asking because a lot of races seem to get no racial abilities and others have racial abilities that are undefined.
Edit
Specifically:
Altanian:
+4 INT -2 WIS +4 CHA
Bonus Feat, Bonus Skill, Spellcasting Prodigy, Arcane Armour Proficiency
Type- Humanoid, reproduces as human
Society- Meritocratic magocracy, non-discriminatory except against those with no arcane power, whom they consider inferior
Hair colours (common to rare): shades of blue (dark to light), silver, Eye colours (common to rare): blue, lavender, silver, green
I presume Bonus Feat is a bonus feat, and bonus skill is the standard bonus skill. And that spellcasting Prodigy is the normal feat of that name. Whats arcane Armour Proficiency though ?
And do Sidhe/Nymphs get any abilities outside of taking racial levels beyond stat modifiers ?
Is this 3e or 3.5e too ?
Classes are usually exclusive, except Immigrants can play the Eldish classes (but not Eldritch Infiltrator). Some classes (Nymph) are exclusive to races (the Nymphs).
Yup, the descriptions are missing bits, particularly what the powers do. I have those somewhere in the DT OOC (or the first one that BS closed), but I'm a lazy bum and don't weant (a pun, sort of, and not a typo) to find it so I will instead tell you here:
All presumptions about bonus feat and skill are correct. Spellcasting Prodigy is the old one that gives +2 to casting stat for one class for purposes of both DC and bonus spells. Nobody can take this feat, but Altanians automatically get it, and they can take Altanian Prodigy (at first level only) and get it a second time, stacking. Arcane Armour Proficiency means they can wear Light Armour (if proficient with it) without any Arcane Spellcasting Failure. They've got an armour material (Altanian Spellcrystal) that makes armour count as one category lighter for purposes of this, and combined with that feat from Complete Arcane, you can wear anything made of the stuff.
Sidhe and Nymph get a bunch of stuff, I was just too lazy to write it all in (I had done Altanians as an initial example). Nymphs get Symbiosis (can heal and eschew eating by staying in specific sorts of places mentioned in the Nymphs file), racial skill bonuses, and a Dazzling Beauty effect. Sidhe get some racial skill bonuses too, plus they start with Cold Iron DR (though also extra vulnerability to the nasty stuff) and the ability to shrink very small into "Faerie Form."
If you do play an Amaranthian, that makes ::counts:: 3 Amaranthians I see, I think. BS was hoping there would be enough that one of the games could be Amaranthia-specific
