New non-standard race?

Post by Elysian_Guardian » Thu May 19, 2005 5:26 am

i've learned that gnolls exist in avlis, and kobolds, and goblins...but do bugbears? and if so, would the avlis team consider making them a playable race akin to the gnoll subrace?

Bugbears do exist, yes. However, I don't believe that there are any plans to introduce them as a player race.

For more info on Custom Races in Avlis, look here:

Issue is that everyone seems to try their damndest to reveal you as one, and then everything you've built up in that form and the other one that they associate with it are then destroyed, so it can be a heart breaker too. Just a heads up.

Just remember when playing a changeling, you are not actually that race. You're just good at pretending.

And PLEASE don't do the "changeling who pretends he's a werewolf" so you can go around rampaging and attacking other PC's... it's not new and original and fun like you might think. :roll:

It would be easy to make them a playable race, but they would be another static form race (i.e. your character looks the same regardless of what he/she is wearing).
