Do you mean "greater than..." and not "less than..." otherwise, you'd
allow them almost anything...

That's always the hard part, from what I've discerned. I made the
shapeshifter into a shaman for the purpose of providing a slightly more
clearly defined character personality, in order to provide the player
with a set of parameters for how the character should be role-played.
I don't think I'd allow any of the races in ED that hadn't yet appeared
(except perhaps the Windlings, but they've already appeared in PAoE:) but
that's because I don't think the mana's high enough yet to support them
(unless they're immortals, and I'm certainly NOT allowing that!)
