[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 5850284, member: 23023"] OR, you could start thinking of WHY there are the main 10-12 options. WHY are there so many Orcs missing eyes? Obviously, Orcs are violent and should have scars, but why are so many missing a specific eye? Perhaps these Orcs are considered blessed by the other Orcs and they are looked to for leadership. Or perhaps they are undergoing some sort of ceremony that will grant that greater powers, such as by a secret Beholder worshipped by the Orcs that is unknown to the PCs. Later maybe some of the Orcs will have eyes on the sockets that don't match and these eyes will have differing powers of the beholder. Green eyes = petrification, black eyes = Inflict, etc. Half the point of me looking at other books is the trying to figure out why things are as they are. Why do Golems travel in Gangs? Why do Otyughs speak Common? That sort of thing. Such a simple question can lead to so many other ideas. But I think it's important to have a beginning, somewhere to start. Varying options for races is the perfect spot for that. [/QUOTE]
