Ratings

RatedNeutral.png Eiji-kun is neutral on this article and rated it 2 of 4.
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.


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.

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)
