It's not easy to pull of a two-dimensional creature without making them seem... I guess the word is 'one-dimensional'. These could be fierce assassins, pretending to be a mural on the wall, then just slipping under the doorframe...<br /><br />You've got a nice spread of fey types and shadowy figures, a planes-touched race, an antique construct humonculous, and then your more naturally-suited bunnytaurs and molerats for fitting into a more standard campaign; easy to drop into a concealed valley or underworld cavern system.Pizza Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171712946855593625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457309627892248510.post-17940584305653837122018-02-06T19:20:55.834-05:002018-02-06T19:20:55.834-05:00Man, this was a blast to design. The editing work ...Man, this was a blast to design. The editing work on these seven races (or ten, if you count the different kindercloak castes) was just superb, and I loved fine-tuning what started as little more than a bunch of cool ideas in my head.<br /><br />Exotic races can add such a fun element of the unknown to an otherwise ordinary Pathfinder game. Maybe a party is conducting a standard dungeon crawl, only to stumble upon a group of friendly blesmolfolk designing new traps for the area. Maybe the party is livened up by the addition of a little flower bard, or a towering, shadowy alchemist. Maybe it is an encounter with a group of bunnytaurs that drives home that the party has entered an exotic new continent and no longer knows what to expect.<br /><br />Regardless of how the new races are used, though, I think a little unexpected variety can always improve a campaign. I hope you enjoy!Nikolai Geiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8457309627892248510.post-63479708607323607912018-02-06T16:41:36.231-05:002018-02-06T16:41:36.231-05:00Enjoy this one guys!Enjoy this one guys!Zenithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05084567670274788805noreply@blogger.com
