Thread of Race

[Hollow]

Decided to move race/class ideas to avoid creating clutter. All feedback and ideas welcomed as long as they are lore based and constructive, helpful arguments. Stats of course, subject to debate.

Races:

Frost Giant: Massive and strong but incredibly slow and clumsy. Heavily armored would provide bonus armor and the nature of their race could provide a very, very small resistance to water divs. Stats-23 17 17 24 12 17
Forsaken(Undead): Posted in other thread but moved here after more thought. Undead would get sight in dark, poison resistance and the ability to /devour after killing a player or NPC (NPCs provide less hp, can be regen or immediate) to regain a small portion of their hp and mp. They would also get a penalty for eating human food/wine as they are undead and require flesh to sustain their strength. Cannot become paladins/clerics. Make them susceptible to smite but don't make it as effective as NPCs. +3 to increase a stat point Stats: 20 21 21 16 17 12


Frogkin: Wise and Intelligent race of sentient, humanoid frogs. Not very big or strong but they are very agile and surprisingly charismatic for what you would expect from a frog. They would have the ability to swim in watery areas without a raft due to their amphibian instincts, bonus AD and dodge when on a water square. Regen hp at a normal rate but extra tick for mana regen. Naturally resistant to spells due to their slippery skin. stats: STR:16 AGI:22(+1 natural dodge, +2 natural dodge when on water square) END: 17 INT: 22 WIS: 20 CHR: 17 (+1 natural charisma due to their kindhearted nature and adorable eyes)


Gnoll: Humanoid hyenas. Fierce warriors who are adept at hunting/gathering but not so smart or wise. Intelligent and merciless but tire easily. Slight damage modifier, penalty to spell resistance. +1 agi to HIT but -1 to dodge bonus. STR: 22 AGI: 23 END: 19 INT: 18 WIS: 13 CHR: 14


Treant: Massive trees of ancient ages. Wise and intelligent, they are charismatic storytellers and excellent spellcasters. Bonus to spell resistance, very slight penalty against fire div. They lack strength and agility but in return are very endurant and have much wisdom gained from all their time alive in the forest. Bonus to manapool. They aren't very pretty due to having bark for skin. Penalty to AC and take more damage from melee. STR: 17 agi: 19 End: 22 Int: 22 WIS: 21 CHR: 17

I'm certainly digging the Treants. I want a race like this, at least one.

Depends on the potency of the drugs you have just taken.

I was thinking:
Pure Orc (or troll, maybe even make horcs into orcs and add troll), +STR/END, -AGL/INT/WIS/CHR compared to horc, and quicker health regen, poison res like gobby
Quickling (ling'ish but +AGL, -STR/END)
Faerie (gnome but +AGL/WIS, -STR/END)
Hobgoblin (horc but -STR/END, +AGL/INT/WIS/CHR (like a human/horc blend)
So many options and possibilities.

New races need to be able to know spoken language in order to communicate with others

Need more then a grunt to convey ,,, how is your day, as opposed to grunt growl grunt grunt ,,, my day is pretty bad and now I'm gonna chop off your head

Edit, hint look at the charts of what str int agi end etc races could fill a void

Look at averages for the mean average of top and lowest points

I get what you mean but I'm just blurting out ideas and if you guys who are in charge can use any of them, great. I don't know the game/lore well enough to do precise calculations for potential ideas
