On Todd's idea about making up new races to be assigned to the Race
priority slots of A and B: fine by me, but. My principle feeling about
this is that any new races must not have supernatural or magical powers,
like most of those in Shadowrun. No dual nature beings or anything like
that. What in my mind would be acceptable would be new races with
"physical powers", i.e. claws, dermal plating, multiple limbs and the
like. This would give the race an advantage in melee combat but not much
else. I think it would be too much to allow PC's to cause accidents at
will. These types of powers are too much. I also believe that the
totally spectacular should be reserved for mages and NPC's.
