New to modding races, any tips?
« on: July 13, 2010, 05:38:46 am »
So I'm building a race of spider people called the Arac. However, I'm rather inept at modding and have no idea what I'm doing. I've used the GCS raw entry as a base, and all I've changed so far is the top line, the description and the NAME: fields. What's different between modding creatures and races?

I'm also open to suggestions for race features and such, so feel free to come up with whatever.

races are [INTELLIGENT] creatures with an entity entry, also they need at least one body part with [GRASP].

From "Angroshs Kinder" Das schwarze Auge Zwergenhandbuch - (Angrosh Children, the dark eye, german pen&paper, dwarven handbook):
"Elves!? Their men dont wear beards, and their women bathe nacked to lure you into the water and drown you. Thank Angrosh they are as ugly as the day and all big and skinny."
