A perfectly serviceable race. The fluff seem fine to me and now that the LA 0 flight have been fixed , although I would be OK with it being granted at later level even at LA 0. You could say that it count as a Menu C ability or something.

Anyway, I feel like it worth a like.

Per request, I'm here to rate. I actually do like this, but I am putting neutral here for the moment to deal with a few issues.

One non-issue issue is that the fluff is overwhelmingly chaotic good, not lawful good. The "Muh Freedoms" thing is pretty much an archetype of it. Easy enough. The fluff could use a bit of parsing down while keeping it funny.

But the real issue is the construct ability list. It makes sense, I expect it, but on that list even as low as list A is flight, and flight is a hard thing to sell at LA 0. I am not sure what you could do: possibly exclude flight. Have the flight scale by starting off with gliding only first. Something. If you can find a fix for that, this becomes a Like.

EDIT: Changes made, liked as said.

Copy Pasta[edit]

You got some ATRun in your RAC. -- Eiji-kun (talk) 15:22, 6 February 2017 (MST)

I did say I was copying the construct traits from the ATRuns page for convenience. I did not even think to edit the race name to fit RAC. I'll do that now - Aeturo (talk) 16:34, 6 February 2017 (MST)
