Coffee only makes you use energy faster.  *mulls*  Maybe we can later make a 
MP (mana/magic points) stat, and give faries a lot, but require them to use 
/it/ to move?  But whatever we do, it comes later, when we activate the 
stuff.

"Elves are Immune to Wine.  They gain 1/4 the normal BAC from drinking a 
Glass of Wine."  And when it comes to hard liqour, they remain pansies.  
How's that?}D

When I actually went to propose the prop, I actually included things like 
making SPD and TOL actually work, but then decided to scale back and just 
get this settled first.  When I scaled back, I accidentally cut out the part 
about Standard Races; what this means, is the ones in that table are marked 
Standard, and players can only choose from them.  Other races, such as 
"Gremlin", "T-Rex", and "Burrowing Wombat" are unpickable.

Bad day to be a leg bone.

Cordially,
