Shattered Kingdoms

The story is that the light gets one extra race (elves and griffons vs. deep-elves) and the dark gets one extra class (hellions and necromancers vs. paladins).

So if we add a dark race, our scheme suggests adding a light race or class to keep things in balance.

I don't know what PC orcs would do to the IC thematic of SK.

A new lightie class would rock, though.

Anyways, yes, Dwarf/Centaur P/Hs please.

I don't see a problem with dwarf paladins/hellions, provided those to understand the twinkish aspects of the game and Dulrik are convinced it won't be overpowered.

Centaurs? Not convinced yet. Cannibal made a pretty convincing case in my ears for why it would be bad idea on a sheer practical level. I haven't heard anyone counter it.

A side point - shouldn't some classes and races *be* more rare than others? I prefer classes to be balanced obviously, but I think it makes fine sense that some are more represented than others, though I would wish the more 'common' of them (merc, scout, barbarian, rogue) were the ones used most.

In race terms, there are most humans and helves. Humans is fine, and make sense to be heavily represented. Half-elves? Well, it doesn't exactly fit the RP premises of how the races are described (maybe they need a redescription), but considering how incredibly (sometimes ridiculously) lightly most elves and delves take forming unions with humans, I guess in our current RP SK reality, heavy half-elf representation also makes sense.

I like that centaurs are rare. I wouldn't mind seeing one or two more dwarves, but I don't really mind them being few in numbers as well. As for horsie disadvantages, I think Moreytia and Cilek are fine examples of how while not all can play them well, they work if you what you do.

nothingxs - fix this and you may get your wish:

Why are we even arguing if centaur hellions are going to be overpowered or not?

To answer what I believe is tribal, I think native american indians. Not Roman-Catholic crusaders.

What is so special about a centaur cleave though? Does it succeed more often at instantly killing a target? Does it automatically reduce the target's hp to 1?

Similiar to sex, size matters.

Bet you $10 on Paypal that I could fix it and it won't be put it anyways!
