[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8854029, member: 2525"] Good lord you're in a thread with a gigantic list of alternatives in the first post. It's not like ancestry was the magical only "good" sounding one, it only has 30% of the vote with another choice at 43%. I don't personally prefer species either but it's not nearly as wonky as ancestry. You can transform from one species to another. You can't transform from one ancestry to another - your ancestry is fixed by those who came before you. So yeah, species works better for this system. Me, I prefer: Creature Type: Humanoid (High Elf) It's simple and effective and applies to NPCs and PCs alike. And I don't think we're " trying to solve for the last 2%" as I think transforming from one type to another will become more common over time. It's probably going to head the way of multi-classing, with multi-typing, eventually. We're trying to plan for the future here and should choose a descriptor that works for a larger spectrum of fantasy possibilities. [/QUOTE]
