*cough* I think everyone's forgetting that this is an RPG. XD Not everything has to be played line by line by the book, peeps, not even races. I mean, people play, say, Elven characters all the time, but it's a rare occurance when you'll find a Tolkian-ish Elf, or an Elf based off of true mythology. Because it's a fantasy RPG...and you have a LOT of creative leeway here. You don't have to play by the book unless you want to.
