Re: Playing Non-humans

With the recent talk of just how alien various non-humans on Glorantha are I thought it might be useful to discuss just what non-humans are suitable for play in parties which interact with humans (ie most folks on Glorantha).  

Here's a list of best options I know  

Best choices:  

Argan Argar worshiping Trolls (especially in the Holy Country) Outcast Dwarfs
Newtlings
Wind Children (especially in Orlanthi regions or in Kralorela) Rootless or Renegade Elves
Centaurs
human variants like the Men-And-A-Half and the Waertagi  

So, do these all seem like reasonably easy PC choices for most folks?  

Difficult but possible PC choices:  

Young wandering Elves
Outcast Dragonewts (especially in Kralorela) Morocanth (best played only in Prax)
Superior Trollkin  

Has anyone tried PCs of any of these types, do they work at all?

• Ducks are not on this list because I find them just *too* silly.

Comments?
