== Races ==

I like the idea that magic might get back into a modern world. I also like cyberpunk settings, so I am simply combining these two. You're saying: wait- that's shadowrun now, right? Well, no, not really. You see, there won't really be different races but only humans that are changed by magic and called "orks" and "elves" etc. by others. But essentially, they will be humans with a few defects and a few advantages.

Essentially, there will be no playable race but that of a human. All other "races" such as trolls, elves etc. Are humans with a preset of defects and adavantages. However, these also may be chosen separately without the accompanying change of appearance. You can for example pick the perk "nightsight" as an advantage - if you have the points. Example:

Preset Ork (total of 9 points):
+ superiour structure (+2)
+ nightsight (see in lowlight conditions)
+ bloodlust (+2 close-combat)
- social outcast (GM's discretion)
- aggression (impatient, -1 on long / fiddly skills)

Picking these advantages separately would cost more points those of the preset. Each preset has a "GM disadvantage" that is only effective in roleplaying situations (social outcast).
