ooer, that's niiice Tenqual.. I like

So, I have no shard apparently, unless there was some kind of wierd changeling god.

Ooh, Estarra, can you make up a changeling god that got splintered? Please? Then I could make sense!

Okay, to put an end to this whole, Humans, Faelings, and Viscanti can't become Gods, thing. Vernal Gods were'nt born into Goddom. They used the Edifices of Power (A.K.A Nexus) to transend. Now, does that clear things up?

Not really, i believe when they became vernal, they channeled the power of the nexus through their divine shard, which empowered them, then again, i highly doubt we can really say how the process of becoming a vernal god was done, you could always try to ask Ladantine, Rowena about it, since i assume they would know.

Nope, because the Edifices of Power did nothing more than fan the spark of divinity that was already there. One could argue that the Vernals (along with everyone else) were "born into Goddom" because they were born with a shard. All they have to do is find a nexus or go kill an insane amount of things.

edit: "ninja'd!" I think that's what they say in this situation.

Descended from the Elder God Elidra, the eld are an extremely peculiar race. As Elidra Himself did, they possess a limited ability to impersonate other races, which alters their physical and mental characteristics to a small extent. Their natural forms are extremely varied: eld have existed which are as small as faelings, and others have been as tall as igasho. However all possess an extremely dark shade of skin, and iridescent eyes which allow them to see even in the pitch black. They have a natural inclination towards physical pasttimes, though (despite their intelligence) are not particularly magically predisposed.

I also had an idea for an extremely physical Guild of assassins who despise magic in all forms and fight hand-to-hand (sort of a cross between Idras and Monks), but I misplaced the word file I wrote the skill lists on. I'll see if I can find it, 'cuz this race'd be perfect for that Guild.

Ehh... Not feeling it...

I do know that there is something they want to forget regarding the finding of Serenguards guild

I demand a race with fast equilibrium (+2ish) that isn't a frog or a fish

Why? Everyone knows frogs are damned fast! And them fish, they're damn slippery bastards!

C'mon, Lusternia can be unique in IRE and have a non-aqueous int based fast eq race!

In the words of Arnold J. Rimmer - Why break the habit of a lifetime?

The tsol'aa in Achaea whern't fish or frogs, and they were like... half intelligent.

A breakaway from my original Nocturesi.

Originally born lucidian, the Nocturesi were a cult which was expelled from Hallifax before the city was frozen. The cult was cast out just before the city was frozen, and wandered aimlessly into the taint cloud, mutating them. Though not losing their crystiline bodies, the Nocturesi have gained enhanced mental balance, and extreme They excell in the dark, bringing them enhanced powers, they suffer in the dark, slowing down their physical bodies to a large extent.

Strength: 10 Dexterity: 13 Constitution: 12
Intelligence: 16 Charisma: 12 Size: 10

o Regain Equilibrium faster, level 2

o Heal more slowly from Elixirs (Day only)
o Heal more slowly from Herbs (Day only)
o Have level 1 Blunt Weakness
o Have level 1 Cutting Weakness

Well the stats may be a bit too high, but they're open to suggestions, probably should drop the strength and con.

That's far better than a Mugwump, heh.

They look like damage warrior or mage bait with the low constitution and the sip pen.

Only have the penalty at Day, while they regen at Night, Shorlen was asking for a Intelligence based non frog or Fish race, so now he has one.

we have more races than any other IRE game. be happy with what we got!

He probably meant non-tainted frog/fish.

A race of giant pigs, exactly the same as humans, except with one disadvantage,
o Truffles, level 3.

I <3 truffles. When I can afford a bag.
