Elves, vampires, demons, done all that. Furries and other nonhumanoid stuff, not so much.<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">EDIT: Okay, so...It's play a human, but with a bonus Talent in addition to the normal Humans-Get-A-Talent, or play some other Race with a Talent? I'm building a human at this time. I'll save the other for some time when I'm more familiar with what's going on with the game.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>Fair enough. As I said, I've come around to being happy with either human or 'human skinned' PCs. And I totally understand the sentiment you expressed before - the range of PC races is one of my favourite things about FC. How many other games let you play a dragon, a golem or an ent straight out of the core rules?
