reverse engeniering races

[Sargon]

yeah i spelt the title wrong, i know.

anyhow i decided to tell you something that always amused me greatly.

takeing a monster manual or any other book with monsters in it and reverseing engerning the monsters into playable (or semi-playable) races. the things that could be done amuse me greatly.

like the small fire elemental, that was so rocken. but i will not, nay can not stop there. i need to give things playable stats, that should enver have playable stats at all.

some things that there are out there really should have playalbe stats beacuse they are perfectly fine as playable races other not so much.

now keep inmind the thigns i will show you here are present in the DnD books, so i am not makeing them. if you have a problem take it up with wizards!

enjoy

Zenythris are often viewed as contemplative beings who strive for personal perfection in every action they take. many feel the need to impose their own brand of order on the world about them. some even travel to lawless regions for the express purpose of creating order there. from a zenythris viewpoint such exercises serve to illuminate the underlying purpose and structure that lies dormant in all things.

A zenthri appears as a perfect version of a human. Its skin is flawlessly smooth and its muscles are well defined and taut. even its hair falls effortlessly into place around its handsonly chiseled face. a zenythri could almost blend unnoticed among humans were it not for the slightly blue or purple taint of its skin.

most zenythris feel compelled to contribute to the societies in which the dwell as such they actively work toward positions of responsibility which often bring with them significant social status. zenythris are natural leaders and consumate stratiegists and they gladly accept leadership roles these planetouched seem to have no intrst in good or evil so long as they accomplish there goals. such a disposition lends itself as readly to tyrannical methods as benign ones. zenthris speak common. a zenythri that acquireds addition languages soeajs they perfectly without any sort of accent.
