Subject: Overview of All new races (includes Gnome stats)
Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1993 19:22:02 -0500
I decided before things got too spread out, I'd put all of these new races
into a file with their stats. Here is a copy of that file in table
format, the numbers representing the racial maximum for that attribute.

I've also labeled the little winged dudes as Pixies. Even though they are
not the classic Pixie, and probably more characteristic of the Sprite or
something, I'd think Pixie would be more of the type of name that society
would label these persons.

Anyways, here's the table. I hope the bloody formatting works.

SPECIAL #1 *1 *1 *3 *4 *5
SPECIAL #2 *2 -- -- -- *6

*1 == Minotaurs and Ogres have a +1 Reach for Armed/Unarmed Comabt
*2 == Minotaurs have a pair of horns that will do (Strength)M2 damage.
This attack does not benefit from the +1 reach, though.
*3 == Goblins receive a +1 resistence to Diseases
*4 == Gnomes have a natural 1 die Task Pool due to their inquisitive
nature and an uncanny knack for looking at things in an unlogical
and imaginative manner. This task pool can be used for any technical
skills that default to intelligence, and is in addition to any dice
gained from Cyber or Bioware.
*5 == Pixies have a pair of wings and are capable of limited flight. This
flight is limited to (Strength x 5) kilograms of weight and cannot
exceed (Willpower x 1) minutes in duration.
*6 == Pixies are uncharacteristically susceptible to essence loss by
cyberware. Essence costs are multiplied by 1.5 for all cyberwear a
Pixie character has installed.

Random Thought:

How long does it take a DEC field service engineer to change a lightbulb?

It depends on how many bad ones he brought with him.
