Re: [spoon-discuss] yet another prop idea


The following are Standard Races:
Human
Orc
Dwarf
Elf
Ogre
Goblin
Fairie
Gnome
Undead
Blob
Alien
Enigma
-Cut a few. You have almost as many as we have players. That's a lot. You're close to just giving each player eir own stats, no races needed.-

[[More are welcome]]

Once per nyear, an Entity that has a Race may change eir Race to a Standard Race.
-Change? That should cost something. We're not talking about changing pants here. This is your genetic makeup. I suggest a nice Gnome to act as a catalyst, but I'm a little biased.-
}}

I don't want to do it just yet, but I would imagine attributes like Strength, Speed, and Wits be assigned based on those races, and those attributes could be used to determine other things, like how far you can run on the grid, whether or not you need someone else to pilot your airspeeders (cause you don't know how to fly them), and how much weight you can carry (if we ever assign weights to objects.

In addition to that, things could be made race-specific. BAC could be scalable (oh, and drinking could modify intelligence--not that it would matter to Ogres). Perhaps there could be a Lute that only an Elf could play (making Music more interesting... I gotta go work on that), or other race-influenced items, such as Glamdring, bane of my people.

-I think if you keep it to those three, maybe add a fourth, attributes, it's fine. Past that, it's too complex, too fast. You've got a good base idea. Now, will it go places, or will it sit and linger, because no one has any ideas to follow it up with?-

I don't put any of that in here simply because I want to get this basic part out first.

Feedback and contributions welcome.

Cordially,
Orc In A Spacesuit
(would really like other people to contribute)
