Dont race change to undead

[Ualaa]

I would think, the best reason to not play undead or to not switch to undead, is to avoid the stench of your own rotting corpse.

Racials are clearly secondary to this.

Everyone's own stench smells good to them. Its the other people that will be thankful you don't play undead as they won't have to wear scented masks whenever you are near.

How do you smell without a nose?

I'd ask Michael Jackson, but he's dead!

I was having a think about the whole racials debate...and I thought this might be a good idea:

Pool all the racial traits, divide them into major and minor traits. Allow characters to select 1 or 2 major and 2 minor skills (somewhat similar to glyphs) at character creation.

This would bring choosing a race purely down to aesthetics. Obviously the wouldnt be called racial traits anymore, maybe something like background skills, each with some accompanying flavor text when chosen at the character creation screen.

What do you guys think?

Cheers,

This, it's similiar to EQ2's progression racial/class thingies that you got to choose, but easier to understand and only once! It makes sense, seems fair and therefore will most likely not happen =P

I like it, but don't really see Blizz implementing it.
