If you could put one of them BENEATH the other instead of BESIDE the other, that would also help.

You called?

But anyway, the utility part would make sense, help in part explain how Asuras of Mythology always each wielding a different weapon. I myself, am rather interested to see how @Man, and Street Sam turn out. If I assume bodily attributes are useless on a @Man, does this mean that high mental attributes would be more useful, and thus Asura make good @Man's?

Also, will you be looking at any other playable races down the road, like vampires, Drakes and so on (even though for more horror creatures, what After Sundown is about, but yeah).
What I find wrong w/ 4th edition: "I want to stab dragons the size of a small keep with skin like supple adamantine and command over time and space to death with my longsword in head to head combat, but I want to be totally within realistic capabilities of a real human being!" --Caedrus mocking 4rries

Super-ultimate thread necromancy ho!

Your current write-up has carnivore asuras and vegetarian elves. This seems backwards. The Sidhe and the Vanir were famous hunters, illusion magic is great for hunting, and you've already specified that elves are psychologically adapted for solitude and self-reliance. Asuras, on the other hand, are most common in the regions where vegan superpowers are an actual part of mythology.

Mythologically, asuras are beings that fail at being ascetic enough for vegan superpowers, so they flip out like all the time. They're consumptive monsters of emotion. Elves are considered dandelion eaters in the Tolkien/D&D modern envisioning.
