As additional stretch races were introduced during the Kickstarter campaign, it became challenging to differentiate races from each other both thematically and mechanically. There were instances where we came up with an idea for one race, only to realize later that we had done something too similar for another. Nevertheless, in the end, we managed to create subraces that were distinct from one another, each with its unique characteristics.
The themes assigned to races were as follows:
- Gnolls: Themes of savagery, hunger, and worship of powerful outsiders.
- Kobolds: Characteristics of being populous, having social awareness, and excelling in traps and intricate craftsmanship.
- Lizardfolk: Possessing the most animalistic characteristics among the races.
- Troglodytes: Representing the most primitive and artificial race.
- Minotaurs: Inclined towards physicality and competition.
Strength Bonus Subraces:
- Meatchopper Gnolls: One of the wildest types.
- Ancient Kobolds: More draconic than others but with more primitive features.
- Scaled Horror Lizardfolk: The most animal-like among all brutal races.
