First of a great compliment to who ever was responsible for the beautyful variaty of races we have in Tyria. The whole fauna and flora is so vivid and colorful, simply amazing.

There are also a lot of sentient races and I have often seen threads about how people would love to play Kodan, Tengu or even Skritt.

Implementing the whole canon of sentient races including storylines etc. Would be an extrem effort, so here is a suggestion, how we could could play as these races with a hopefully reasonable about of effort form a developer perspective.

The Idea: Create a class which is able to transform in diffrent species with fine manipulators. The transformation would not replace any of the weapon or slot skills, but hand out F1-F4 skills or small buffs which you would assosiate with this race. Strong like a norn, crafty like a skritt etc.
You could collect extra transformations like the ranger pets so you could choose which form you want to obtain and most importent maintain for RP purposes.
I did not put much thought into what kind of weapon or armor this class should gain, or even what kind of skills this class should get. I just thought this might be an interesting class mechanic and would probably make many people happy.

Just to make give you a scope of the variaty of a – again – hopefully complete list of all sentient races in Tyria:

Of course we have the 5 playable races:

  • Charr
  • Asura
  • Human
  • Sylvari
  • Norn

Than the 5 lesser races:

  • Grawl
  • Skritt
  • Hylek
  • Quaggan
  • Ogre

But also many others:

  • Jotun
  • Tengu
  • Troll
  • Kodan
  • Krait
  • Dwarf
  • Dredge
  • Ettin
  • Harpy
  • Largos
  • Giant (yoeah giants are a bit to big there are here for completeness sake)
