[QUOTE="Sodalis, post: 110262, member: 1791"] I just had a thought- and I am going to throw it out there for people who want to kick it around... and i know this is ust a thought: why not let the players choose whatever race they want right... and for those that choose weaker races (ie the core ones) get levels to help balance out the issue. So if one guy chooses a half dragon, another chooses a hlaf orc, then the half orc will get 3 class levels to balance out with teh dragon's +3ECL. I know this idea is really radical, and well- It just came to me... but it may just work... sorry- for being such an arse- but I don't see the problem with having people play fun races, but the balance issue has already been dealt with in the form of ECL- and character classes. So why are we havingthis discussion of what do for balance and such- do what the book tells you... and on top of that- of course there will be in game consequences. The core races are the most tolerated inmost societies. And if you are a gnoll paladin, trying to enter the temple of St Cuthbert- you better be prepared to defend your faith against the clerics, or at thevery elast the people that do not understand. And if you are a half fiend (even if you are good) trying to buy bread froma baker, be prepared for the off chance that he might turn you away because of your ugly face.... [/QUOTE]
