Great stuff, Dennis.<br /><br />As far as races - I think they better lend themselves to a race-as-class set up. RAC really lets you define how a race fits into your setting (whether defined or implied).

Just anime. <br /><br />Now, you do make a good point that in this set of rules, my Dokkaebi race will take the place of the orc or half-orc. They're the big burly barbarous creatures. But they're also creatures of magic! And Korean dokkaebi legends seem to have them more as a punishment inflicted by Heaven on wrong-doers than as a force of chaos and evil. So not quite like orcs, but sorta the closest analog in this racial set-up.

So Orcs can pretty much be barbarian people in a barbarian world.Sean Robert Meaneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16273566549106707316noreply@blogger.com
