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.

Ratings[edit]

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'll do more fluff parsing later. Lawful-Chaotic always confuses me, like what is Diplomacy on this spectrum? Individual choice and freedom says Chaotic but it's a law system so it's Lawful? My reasoning there is a Lawful Good character can oppose slavery which is their main tick, not laws. I picked Lawful Good because righteous paladins running around freeing slaves is what popped into my head with their first incarnation.- Aeturo (talk) 01:05, 7 March 2017 (MST)

I really like this article as an explanation of alignment. Hope that helps! --Ghostwheel (talk) 09:41, 7 March 2017 (MST)

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)
And fixed. I really liked the ATRuns construct typing as a way to get 0 LA from the construct type but I didn't even think to change the 11 instances of ATRuns to RAC - Aeturo (talk) 16:38, 6 February 2017 (MST)
It completely fine to take text from other articles, in fact I encouraged it. It add a lot of consistency in the system, where similar wording create precedent. --Leziad (talk) 16:44, 6 February 2017 (MST)
