Players are allowed to create characters of a race other than those listed. These characters will be labeled Mystical Creatures.
Mystical Creatures must be approved before they can be created. A player must submit a request to the HeadGM which includes the name of the new race, its size, and special traits such as infravision, ability to breathe under water, etc.. and a list of its Key Features (the features which make it different from any of the listed races)
There are limitations on Mystical Creatures:
#1: Mystical Creatures must be humanoid. 2 arms 2 legs with hands and fingers. The items (especially weapons) listed in the game are created for this body type. I have no desire to create items to accomidate odd races therefore they simply aren't allowed at this time.
#2 Mystical Creatures can not be taller than 8 feet. Many quests are held in places which are built for human sized characters. I have no desire to force characters to wait outside a tomb because they can't fit through the door, nor do I wish to always create structures (including the city of Nessus itself) that can accomidate giants. 8 feet tall is very large.. large enough.
#3 Mystical Creatures as with any other race may no have any special powers, abilities, or immunities. Race is an RP thing in this game. All races are pretty much equal. No advantages will be allowed to anyone. This includes the ability to shape shift.
#4 Mystical Creatures may not be undead. This rule may be eliminated in the future but for now it stands.
