New race ftw


I want to eventually add one more, cause I like even numbers, but we'll see later on. I think the drakeblood race for instance gives a whole different perspectives as a warrior class, but with charisma, which 'will' be handy.

I'm unsure on how to deal with it's AC bonus yet, we'll see.

I've always felt the Saurian race should be fast, hit hard, but be dumb as hell and get obliterated by spellcasters. As such, I feel like the stats are fair. I was even fine with the spell resistance being 2%.

Wizardry had good races (master of orion as well), but... (some cliches)

Hobgoblins (in between goblins and half orcs)
Wolfmen (obviously use a more inventive name)
Catmen (obviously use a more inventive name)
Troglodytes (could go with neanderthal type cave dwelling one, or a small agile underground type race)
Insectoids
Faeyries
Druegar (dark dwarves, although off couldnt use the Druegar name)

It'd be nice to have a caster version of some kind of goblin-kin or animal-kin race. Keep Saurian as the warrior lizard, make drakeblood the caster 'lizard'.

That's not how they work lore wise. Beings created by magic can't use magic, even after a few generations of natural breeding.

A beast race for casters is possible, but it won't be drakebloods.

I have no problem with that if it's Ember Lore; but in general fantasy lore it's not necessarily a restriction (Draconians in Dragonlance being the example I"m most recently familiar with).

Ember lore is based on a fantasy world that I created, in which magically created beings (including drakebloods, homunculi, and magically conceived children) don't possess a spark, which prevents them from accessing magical ability. They can overcome it with enough dilution, but it would take dozens, if not hundreds, of generations to dilute far enough one way or the other to create a proper spark.

NO.


Saurians have always been the Halfling-eating lizards.

It is ok, for the sake of local ecology and to continue in the culling of halfling vermin, saurians appear to have been maintained as a separate species.
