PBW Game/Race idea
 

Just a game idea for PBW (i can´t play but if you think is fun, whi not?): every player will design the WORST race possible, then the races will be distributed randomly among the player so each one will play a race designed by other player...., it could be fun, but just so there is not much sameness in the races we could use the following rules:

1. The entire 2000 (or 3000 or 5000) points must be used, the race can´t have any left over.

2. You cannot reduce any race characteristic below 80% or increase it above 120%

3. You MUST select at least one racial trait.

These races would be useful in single player too, jus to provide a challenge against the AI...

any design ideas?

Oh, douglas, and be sure to make them "Neutral" (that's always LOTS of fun)!

(Oops, nevermind, I see your special traits have negated that)
