[PnP] To be a noble or not to be...

[Choinski, Burton]

I read this and wonder how people played most non-human races in their
games.

In my world, nobody ever played a Faeery.  Never.

I think I might have seen ONE elf.  The problem being that for the most
part, many cultures don't like or trust elves (especially around Donara,
which being close to Caldo (the main center we tended to use) was
troublesome.  

Dwarves were more accepted, at least in cultures with any sort of elder
respect.

In short, my world was much more humano-centric then Scott's obviosly was
for his play-by-mail game (and probably face-to-face games).  I guess I
played my world a lot more gritty-realistic in that sense in that non-human
races just tended to get crapped on by the cultures in the area, so they
relagate themselves to their various enclaves.

Richard, you have in book 3 some mentioned notes on non-human society. Could
you do a article to clarify some of those points?  Maybe make a cultural
thesis on the non-human races (or even human for that matter) in regards to
station.  How one might obtain one level and examples, etc. Priesthood I
believe you did this well with the ranks and such and it woul dbe nice for
the other areas like non-humans (and/or humans).  The info is there to work
with but for some new to such things (newbies) might help them figure out
things and how to play say a Elf trying to become king... ie rites of
passage....dos/don'ts..taboos..etc... 
In stormbringer they detail alot of this with their Elan system of using
magic so would be nice to see a more detailed explanation of society and
station in pnp.  :)
