Hi everyone...

...I'm an old timer on Athas, but new to the boards, and I haven't seen anything about the Rhul-thaun brought up, so I was workin' today on my own conversion....

...let me know what ya'll think!

Very nice, I like it.

This is my own opinion of course but here goes.

have you noticed that in the any description of halflings be it Feral or Rhul-thaun, there are no mention of their ear aspect (pointy or human-like) But if you look at the drawing in the WRotJC acc. they all have pointy(elf-like) ears compared to the drawings of the ferals and those dwelling in the forest ridge which are roung(human-like.

I would like to suggest (like I did in an other Thread, that since none official writing on the subject as been written so far, I suggest that we all agree that Rhul-Thaun ears are in deed Pointy and the others round. This is merely a physical aspect to differentiate the 2 *sub-races*( decendants of the Rhulisti) thence would give no bonus what-so-ever to the said subrace.

Think of it as the eye diiference between europeen and asian of our world. Just a way to pinpoint an outsider from a perticular halfling territory..... sort of.

Welcome aboard aikijim.

I think there was someone else tinkering around with bringing the rhual-than and lifehsapes up to par, just can't seem to remember who. Gave a brief glance at what you've got; doesn't seem to bad at all. Nice work.

Agree with Mach. Good work aikijim13!

It shines especially in the feats and skills sections...

Wow, I didn't think I'd get so many positive responses! Thanks everyone. It makes me want to continue workin' on the little windriders, cuz originally I just wanted a quick conversion.

I will have to work on the pointy ear thing, that may grant the Rhul-thaun an extra +6 to Charisma, just for bein cool! (J/K, btw that WalMart Post-Apoc thing was hillarious and awesome all at the same time! Shop Smart, shop S-Mart!)

Any ideas for additional feats? I'm trying to add one called Mutation that will cover the Rhul-Thaun mutation section... and I'd like to work a bit more on the Life-Shaped weapons and equipment, I think I skimped on it a bit cuz it was gettin' late...

Oh well, thanks everyone for visiting my little Dark Sun Site. For the direct link its www.geocities.com/sttristan1979/campaign.htm Its not much, just a receptacle for my DS campaigns, but its home
