[QUOTE="Pbartender, post: 1645118, member: 7533"] So finished reading through that... Looks nice. I really like what was done with the races, and the class explainations are excellent. I'm planning on keeping the D&D stuff pretty standard in my world, so not much from the race section would help out. The flavor text for some of the classes is wonderful, though, and I may borrow bits from it. Here's my current thoughts on D&D races in 1500... The Atlanteans (Elves & Half-elves) - Elves are the descendants of the survivors of Atlantis. When Atlantis sunk, they fled to the Mediterranean, where they founded the city of Rome and rebuilt the Atlantean Empire in the form of the Roman Empire. They still exist, though their bloodlines have thinned and the full-blooded have a tendancy to keep themselves inconspicuous. The Little People (Gnomes & Halflings) - These are the descendents of the fey of the British Isles. Gnomes, better known as Leprechauns still inhabit Ireland and retain some link to their fairy origins. Halflings, originally a derogatory term for these original inhabitants of Wales, have reliquished their primary ties to the fairy courts though they seem to still reatin a tendancy toward extraordinary luck. Dwarves - The Nordic Dwarves have long lived in the mountains of Norway, Sweden and Finland. They are reclusive, however, and upon mixing with the human races, have drifted far from their Alfheim ancestors. Now, they are often mistaken for short, stocky humans, but vestiges of the race's extraordinary craftmanship remain and they are prized for their natural abilities with metal and stone. Half-orcs - Hrm... Not certain what to do with these guys yet. I don't want to use them as Moors. Maybe the nomadic Golden Hordes that threaten the steppes of Russia are the various Goblinoids and the half-orcs are the result of those incursions. Or maybe turning them into a 'half-troll' or 'half-giant' sort of race, like Elizabethulhu does, might work... Hmmm... I kind of like the idea of half-giants. Or give them fast healing as half-trolls. [/QUOTE]
