[QUOTE="doctorbadwolf, post: 7872529, member: 6704184"] I could see using those races reflavored, though I'd consider justing using the full orc stats for the half-ogre. Or Goliath. The main thing of the half-ogre is being incredibly strong, right? Irda could be a tiefling variant, but I don't think the base version makes sense for it. May be just as easy to simply make a new race, there. Definitely don't blow up the setting. I'd rather see the twilight of an age of relative peace, as a new darkness falls over Ansalon. Make the continent feel like it did in the Chronicles, without any time warping or retconning. Some things will be different. The knights of solamnia aren't basically in disrepair and many of them are paladins now, there are gods, the Towers of High Sorcery are...maybe a couple human generations into a new era of being a thing again, but there is a perhaps a rival faction with it's own tower that takes in those the Towers of High Sorcery would shun or persecute? The most important thing is, there is no strong good empire to take on Golden Army of New Ishtar, or the New Dragon Armies, or The Horde of Mithas, or whatever. The heroes begin in a small town inn, and an NPC or two arrive who need help on the same day that the evil army arrives. Rather than the gods being gone, Paladine and Takhisis are still missing, but rumours stir of their impending return, or perhaps she has returned by Paladine has not yet, etc. Maybe do something with the gods of magic being gone, and magic greater than 3rd level spells being extremely rare and requiring special arcane focuses to channel even for the most learned mages, etc. A new story, the same world, full circle without being a retread.
