Adaption
would it be alright if I made an adaption of this race as a variant of mine? It reminds me of Brook from One Piece but the mechanics would never let it play that way --Stryker-Fyre 09:50, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Do not have the authority to grant you it, but the request needs to brought back to focus. --Franken Kesey (talk) 04:15, 3 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Uh this is not an adoption request, rather I was asking if I could make a race with a similar concept, as I did not realize at the time that I could just go and make a similar race but without asking.--Stryker (talk) 10:56, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Worship
"Those that worship a true God are more likely to worship Him than anyone else." is basically a tautology. --Foxwarrior 06:51, August 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think "Him" refers back to "death" in the previous sentence, making it not a tautology and instead terribly unclear. --IGTN 07:25, August 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * And on another note, capitalizing "God" and "Him" is generally only appropriate in the context of monotheism (which is very rare in D&D campaigns), and in that case articles are omitted. Also, if it does indeed refer to "death itself", the gender of the pronouns is inconsistent. --DanielDraco 07:31, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

The Ultimate Cattle Race
250 gp per week is a lot of stuff for a level 1 commoner to be producing. Admittedly, that means total bed rest for 5 days a week, but you don't need to be constantly up and about in order to tell your skeletal grandparents to go plow the fields all day and all night. This race totally blows the Elan out of the water as a slave race: each slave can provide approximately four tireless workers, each stronger than a normal person; fingernail plucking is immensely profitable; producing additional Cardomor does not require mysterious and possibly expensive psionic rituals; and Cardomor psychology seems to be such that they'd usually accept their life confined to a bed in a cage.

In a society that frowns on Cardomor-farming, the Cardomor can live cushy lives without ever having to actually work. This is definitely going to make peasants of other races incredibly jealous: when you combine that with their already unsettling nature, the only way I can see a setting with notable numbers of free Cardomor in it that doesn't include excessive amounts of genocide is if the Cardomor are the ones in control. --Foxwarrior 03:36, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Community Opposed
The community opposes this article --Franken Kesey 17:36, 16 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Not by current standards. - Tarkisflux Talk 17:51, 16 July 2012 (UTC)


 * I didn't know Community Opposed was a thing. What are the standards on that? Because this has a pretty damn low rating. --DanielDraco 20:44, 16 July 2012 (UTC)


 * It's the opposite of Community Favorite, and means that an article gets sandboxed instead of living in main nav. It's part of the deletion policies at present as the "if you write something that is complete and functional but most people generally think it's terrible we won't delete it but we don't want to show it either" policy (it will be written into the Rating Articles page when I redo that one after the vote finishes). Standards are 4+ ratings, <= 0.25 average. So lots and lots of hate. If we wanted to expand that I'd also want to expand the Community Favorite range (and I think I do want to do those things), but this isn't really the place to discuss it. - Tarkisflux Talk 20:49, 16 July 2012 (UTC)
