[Don's House Rules] Sophonts

[DonM]

But then, I'm confused over just what your list is about. I thought it listed the types of NPCs you might encounter off thier homeworlds. Now it seems that you're talking about viable PCs.

In my defense, I point to the very first sentence of this thread:

"My last posting of house rules mentioned starting knowledges, but before I do that I instead decided to post what sophonts I allow as player characters..."

I was asking if I had left out any possibilities in the Marches...

That's a pretty good defense.

All I can say is that I missed that, perhaps because I'd find a table of random NPC races to be found round and about in the Marches much more useful than a list of viable PC races.

I don't know how suitable they would be as PCs[*], but the Hlanssai are said to be encountered "throughout much of the Imperium and other areas".

Certainly not for Character Generation house rules?

Read through the JTAS 22 contact article. Definitely Travellers, but NOT good for player characters I think. For encounters though...
