Making htose things more visible or buffed up might be a way to go.  Like giving Drow a nighstalker ability that increases hit/dam temp but can only be used at night.  Giving Scorp/Crab races a harden skill that increases AC for a short while. 

And Gnomes should definitely be given a self-destuct ability to explode, once, doing a little damage, and completely destroying that character in the process.   >:D
Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a persistent one.

Naw, I was aiming more for a random chance to throw out an explosive in battle that does random damage ranging from anywhere between 100 and 999999999999 *shifty eyes* that one would be a nuclear weapon *shifty eyes again*

Not to... well no, that doesn't work... TO step in and try to end Daklore's aside, I will try to get this back on topic.

I was thinking a Canine race, perhaps werewolf, or gnoll for instance.

We don't need any mutts. Cats are all we need, cause... Cats are way better.

We have talked about adding werewolves as a racial add-on (like vamps & ghosts), but were concerned that that removed the uniqueness of the were-kitty races.... not that we don't already have overlaps (for example, don't get me started on the number of elven races we have...).

Don't know that we've talked about doing a canine race though..hmmm... maybe a human polymorph race that can do wolves, bears, and ... seals?

I hereby announce the National Seal Hunt in Lapis *sage* But c'mon, we've got -too- many races as it is now, including special/hidden. For that matter we've got too many vampire bloodlines, but it'd probably be too much of a hassle to combine some, or get rid of some.... *shrug* I think we should save making more new races for when we start getting a player boom or something >P

There's no harm in discussing options and finding out what people are interested in... and what they aren't interested in.  For example, we know you aren't interested in more races but other people are. 

Besides, sometimes one portion of a discussion will spawn a different one.  For example, I have to wonder if Alaunae opened up the discussion on Shapeshifters because I brought up polymophs and it triggered the thought "Hey, Shapeshifters need some help."

Well, it's possible it was in my subconscious, but given my penchant for barely retaining ANYTHING I read, it's not likely.  Mostly, it was mostly born out of my seemingly endless struggle to decide which fourth tier I want to take my newest mage and then realising "Hey, wouldn't it be nice if Shapeshifters could actually shapeshift?"

But I can give you credit too, if that's what would make you happy.   ;D

Wasn't looking for credit, was looking for an example of one idea leading to another.

*grins* I think the MUD is an example of one idea leading to another. :)

But beyond that, it does feel like some races get a lot more love than others (does anyone but me play humans?) - but I like having new races and a few new things like that to put in for when we do -boom- (if ever) and to provide just a bit more variety. :)  Also, hunting seals huh?  *puts the pic of a seal on Daklore's back*
I must be here, 'cause I'm not all there.
