#50669, "Will we be seeing Pixies anytime soon? "


          

I notice there is a "Who Pixie" option for the Who command.

And is there any chance of making seasonal races permanent but perhaps with limited (1 or 2)slots for frosties and centaurs? I'd make an exception of Goblins as they weren't a very appealing choice in the first place and so only had a couple diehard characters anyway.

Can we give orcs the option of being Raiders as well? Can orcs forgo adaptation and have the option of being in the GSV or not and instead join cabals?

I notice there is a "Who Pixie" option for the Who command.

There are three seasonal races that are currently defined but unimplemented.

And is there any chance of making seasonal races permanent but perhaps with limited (1 or 2)slots for frosties and centaurs?

Zulghinlour wanted to make Goblins a permanent race to support the Grinning Skull Village. I would want to tweak them more before that happened, if it were going to happen. Once the coding staff has time again, though, server work has top priority.

Other races are fine as seasonals.

Can we give orcs the option of being Raiders as well?

No, the Raider was designed for a small, nimble race. I would eventually like to see the Orc Witch Doctor implemented, however.

Can orcs forgo adaptation and have the option of being in the GSV or not and instead join cabals?

Eh.

Were you intending to reveal some dates and then forgot?

Thanks again and thanks for keeping the game going.

See: "Once the coding staff has time again, though, server work has top priority." So, nothing is on calendar at this time.

They are really just placeholders for now. I started the seasonal races as an experiment to add a little flavor here and there, thinking that another coder might want to take up the mantle at a later point. Now, if the next two races in the table were actually coded, I wouldn't complain (the first is, in fact, Pixie).

Would a half-orc have to be conceived through rape like minotaur? I mean, what female race would want to have sex with an orc?

Give em racial flying, slash/bash/pierce vulns, maybe a racial inherent of a super powered spellcraft and extra mana. I'd suggest racial inherent of a weakish dodge, but that'd probably be giving them too much.

13 or 14 str, 15 con, 25 int, 23 or 24 wisdom, 22 dex.

Their natural size is that of a reduced gnome. Using the reduce spell makes them one size smaller. They can't be attacked or attack others when they're that size, but they also drop all of their inventory and equipment as even magic can't allow them to shrink to that extent and still carry things.

Let them be all aligns, as the Dark Fae have their place. Can't be orderly. Available classes are thieves, invokers, conjurers, necromancers. Antipaladins are too physical for them to master. Maybe give them shapeshifter, too, but maybe their extremely small innate form doesn't lend itself to shapeshifting. Their nature is far too magical for them to be able to absorb divine power, so no communing classes for them. Maybe make it so they're resistant to both helpful and harmful communes. Battleragers tend to hate them, even if they're just thieves, due to their nature. Imperials are not at all fond of them.

Thick or thin veil affects them much more then other races. Maybe even shift their stats, mana, and hp to how thick or thin the veil is. A pixie in a very thick veil is an insect. A pixie in a very thin veil is a magically fueled hurricane.
