Once I played a handicapped felar warrior in the village. I'm not still good at anything (RP, PK, MK, Survival, ...) and the char was some meat for his enemies. But It was my best experience in CF so far, as I had some challenges for myself. I think a hard playing race (high penalty) might have same effect, at least on me. I am eager to play, ESPECIALLY if it's a rare race. (I have played two minotaurs by now, and I love to play them again mostly because they are rare.).
