That's why I'm asking - there is such a thing as game balance, and feegles are one of the two only things that actually terrify nanny Ogg's hell-raising serial rapist psycho-cat Greebo (the other being another witch's kitten)... they're that OP.
Anyway, as you may have noticed from my other characters, I tend to like RP and play with support characters; it's only that this being for a fantasy game including non-standard races made me think about having some fun with a feegle for once.

[Harry Baldman]

If I can get in, I think I'd go with a literal munchkin, all decked out in blue (Munchkinland represent) and with a considerable sheet of unforgivable crimes against human and demihuman decency.

[Twinwolf]

I'd like to reserve; no idea what race.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Im struggling to find a good race

I really want something humanoid in shape and size, covered in chitin, and capable of spellcasting.

hybrid form aranea and mothmen were close... but not armored enough for my liking.

[syvarris]

So, to recap, we've got a construct (or undead) spellcaster, an awakened cat, a feegle which the aforementioned cat is terrified of, something spiderish, a literal munchkin, another spiderish thing, and as the token normal of the group, a dwarf.  NAV, you shold embrace your role and just play a completely normal, average human, who's defining character trait is being utterly generic.  You would have the most unusual character in the group by virtue of not being weird.

@Ozark

If possible, I'd like to play a swordsage-ish class, which uses its claws as the "swords".  I'm fine with whatever though--it's already cool that I can play a cat at all.

@Paris

That's awesome.  I wonder why PW still has that link in his sig.  I'd think one of his forum games would be more appropriate.

[AbstractTraitorHero]

Eh need to know more before I join that give me some more info and I'd be happy to make a character.

[TheBiggerFish]

I want in!


Magic.
Tell me much more.

[Egan_BW]

I think in honor of DF 0.42 I'll be a King Cobra Man/Woman. Natural venom is good.

[Ozarck]

I better write this down so I don't miss anyone. I'll have more info in the OP. You'll have to learn magic as you go, I think, since there are a variety of forms.

Anyone wanna suggest stats? I have in mind strength, (movement)speed, dexterity, intelligence, memory, will, charisma, constitution and magic ability, with racial modifiers to each. Think that's too many?
As for skills, I am thinking unarmed combat/natural weaponry, blunt, edged, ranged, general knowledge, magic ability, and medical (apocathary i.e generral use of herbs, potions, knowledge of various bodies, etc) special*

*You get three special skill slots for magic schools, weapon specialization, etc. if you take negatives in this stat you lose one skill slot for -1 and the other two at -2. Each +1 gives you one slot.

Stats and skills handled via the ER + and - system.

@ Maegil. I'm not sure. None of the traits alone are necessarily out of the realm of possible, but hmm.

[NAV]

Alright I'm gonna play as a human farmer.

Spellcasting as in: memorized spells, with a spellbook and everything? or as in the generic ability to use magic at will in some form?

Edit; there is a mob in an online game I play that is a ladybug that cast spells. that's what I thought of when you mentioned armored chitinous spellcaster.

Edit 2: Twinwolf, play a troll medic. it'll be awesome(ly bad)

Alright I'm gonna play as a human farmer.

From  maximum cliché-ness, be a teenage human farmer from a remote village that was attacked by [insert generic orc-like race name here] and is now out in a quest to find the truth, seek justice, avenge his parents and friends and save the world.

@syvarris: I love Zero Punctuation's game reviews. They may be a bit... loud, but they sure are fun. And informative, as long as you keep in mind that the guy's style is finding even the tiniest thing to criticize about a game, but in a fun and over the top way. His Judging by the Cover series brings his fun style to a new medium.

[Unholy_Pariah]

I kinda want to play as something similar to a vexgit gremlin... but human sized.

or maybe an enchanted iron mask that possesses the weak of mind.


as for magic... probably something similar to a D&D sorcerer, a number of free re-useable spells I can cast at will and then a pool of magic I can use for more complex magic.
or maybe runes and magic circles... depends on which character idea I end up going with.

Spoiler: vexgit (click to show/hide)

[Ozarck]

We'd have to talk a bit about the enchanted mask idea, but the gremlin seems okay.

I am a little surprised at the variety of races people want to play. Kinda reminds me of my first forum game. Welp, I'm going for dinner and will post the OP when I return. local time is 7:11. expect the post at 9:30 and get your character build replies reserved (but leave me the first three posts for gm stuff)

Right. You start off with an watering can.
