aside from the fact that we're never going to make shit like this… the only stone related race I'd ever permit created is the gargoyle. there'd be a significant disadvantage to having wings and skin as hard as stone....the fact that any source of light similar to sunlight would leave you as an immobile statue would help counterbalance the abilities they'd get.
The primary goal in race design is BALANCE... not against other races, but to the game itself. The next is to have some sense of LOGIC. Just using magic as a reason is a cop out. Let's take your example... Immune to heat? Bullshit. At most, resistant, if that. Even rock will melt with sufficient heat. Obsidian is made from volcanic sources. Last I checked, lava/magma is damn hot. Cold? Again bullshit. You can shatter rock with the right application of cold. At best, it should be RESISTANT to bash/blunt attacks, and that's only if it's not something that can outright SHATTER obsidian. Vulnerable to lightning? Are they GROUNDED to make current, much less allowing damage possible? If anything, they'd be resistant or immune. Drowning would make no sense as a vuln as they wouldn't BREATHE thus can't drown. If your stats are in the order of STR, INT, WIS, DEX and CON... then your INT and WIS are too damn high for a dumb rock creature. DEX might be a bit too high as well if they are supposed to be slow. If I were to see one of these exist, they'd be POWERHOUSES but dumb and slow as the stones they are. About all I'd ever see these used as are bludgeon attackers.

Housing Immposted in Immortals Forum
Ok, I've been asked about in one way or another this too many times lately, so I will pass on own inquiry.
Who is the current Housing Imm? I don't know who it is anymore. -

RE: Syn and Nib's merge discussion threadIf I can just get some quality time in, I can work on the documentation pages I have started. For those that don't know about it yet, go ~~[](http://immsite.sanctuary-roleplay.org/olc)~~[here](http://immsite.sanctuary-roleplay.org/olc). It's far from complete and could stand some refinement on the descriptions of things.posted in Coding Discussion

RE: Documentation - Nib…. w....hich style? O.o If you mean for doing the docs like I have..... ~~[](http://immsite.sanctuary-roleplay.org/olc)~~[here](http://immsite.sanctuary-roleplay.org/olc)? You will notice the Pedit link (though broken atm). That is for Project Edit. The staff stuff… well, that's not in there. You can swipe the basic feel of how I did it and have a go. If you have any questions about the making of it, feel free to... call my agent... no.. ask me X) If work wouldn't interfere, I could finish the damn docs.posted in Coding Discussion

RE: "rand" is pure garbageActually, I've got the source for the Mersenne Twister random number generator… which has a disgustingly long period for the random numbers, something about 2^19937-1\. I think that is enough. I'll slap that puppy into the code. For your reading pleasure or if you are really interesting in this generator: http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.htmlposted in Requests

The reason for the pmounts losing their movement... all mobs have their movedice RESET at boot. Check the mobile read function Synner... ;) Medit does check to see if the mob is a mount or not before reseting the movedice. -
RE: Remort Only continent?Maybe for the most part. Perhaps have it generally accessible, for things like quest clues and other info, but leave the predominant activities remort-only.posted in Fourth Continent
