First, for the cat race, I would say no. Their is a total of. . . 1 place that I can think of some kind of cat race, Eragon, and so it seems out of place when their are no Orcs, Goblins or some other type of "monstrous" race.
For the Shapeshifting, I'd say put it in an existing class, but limit it. If someone can easily turn into a Dragon, a mouse, a bird and a shark, and have other abilities, that is getting to exploitation level (sneaking in somewhere as a mouse, leveling a town as a dragon etc.) now, having people have an ability allowing them to be JUST a dragon, or JUST a mouse would a good idea (as long as the dragon isn't Smaug level defenses of course, but more like Saphira in power levels). If you want someone to have multiple, make sure they can't have too many powers.
I'd say make them up. It will allow larger arsenals for everyone, meaning that they can have more personal ability lists. Now, weapons you might want to figure out a basic idea of what people can and can't have, but don't make it too specific (Maces can't be used by halflings, not a halfling wizard can only use the Mace of Gravity, and no other Maces). Also, I am getting a little impatient, although I'll stick around because I have nothing better to do.
Have you seen the post I said in reply to what you said? I plan on adding trolls, goblins, orcs, etc to this. I just need time. I can't get the whole roleplay done in one day. How do you think people make video games? There are many things I can list that have Cat-like races (some I can't list because of the age and maturity policies here), one including fully cat and one including human with cat ears and tail. I plan on adding more "monstrous" races, just let me work on that.
I planned on making it so that you only had two animals you could shapeshift to. Not make it so over powered to the point where everyone HAS to be a wizard or a warlock.
That's what I preferred, because it would take me hours just to make one class. Days, even. But I will still limit the "making up abilities" option, so that nobody can learn to do anything over powered.
These kinds of things take time. It might be a month till I'm done, but I know that if I keep at it (and people stop telling me what to add), I'll get it done.
Sorry, you misunderstood. I just have personally never seen many cat-like races, and from what other things you included it felt out of place, and I was using the monstrous races as an example of a more common thing to add. I didn't mean to push the monstrous races thing at all, I was simply using that as an example of more common place things.
Makes sense.
I completely expect that.
Got it. Too be honest, if it's too difficult, just scrap the monstrous race thing. You've given some good reasons not to include it, and as I said, I am not trying to push you in that direction.

So you're saying that we don't even start with a wand and things? Because that would imply that we would start knowing no magic, and with no real fighting experience. That will mean characters will be not devoloped much at all, escpecially considering how we know nothing of the world. I can understand not having some special weapon (like I was thinking my character might have a Dragon Scepter to start, not overly powerful but enough to give him the spells he would start with.) but not starting with a basic tool does seem strange. I personally would like to know the reasoning behind this choice, all though I don't really want to know anything major about the plot unless necessary to understand.
That's not the point I'm trying to make.
You don't start with the best equipment, ever. I you always start with things that are good enough for me to use, but not so advanced.
If you'd really like to know, you start in a place where you basically lose everything you own, so you have to start from scratch. That's why you can't have the best equipment.
got it.
OK. makes sense.
Got it. That makes complete sense, allows us to have powers without having good gear. I like the idea.

First off, forget about the cat race or the shapeshifter. I'm not adding anything to the RPG until the whole thing is out. Feel free to switch up then, when I'm actually done with the base of the game.
Second, ground rules.
1. Message or send in jammers ideas you have for the RPG. This helps to prevent spam. 2. Please DO NOT repetitively ask me something. If I didn't reply before, or I already answered your question, it's rendered unnecessary if you ask the question again. 3. Please be courteous to everyone here.
Third, I'm creating a committee for this RPG. The committee will basically be the "Developers". They help create this RPG. If you'd like to join (and I'm only accepting 2 to 3 people), please fill out a mini application here:
Question 1 Would you prefer to be a writer or someone who prefers to create the classes, races, quests, etc?
Question 2 How much time are you willing to put into this job? (Please say days during the week, not hours. With moderation delays, it's not easy to say hours.)
Like I said, this was a mini application. Mainly because I'm working on making an interview for people who turn this in, depending on what job they get.
By the way, the writer is someone who helps create backstories, quests, and general lore. The other job (I guess that can be called a general committee member) is meant to help create everything from races to places to explore. They also help create ideas to add to the RPG.
I'm doing this because I've been having trouble keeping up with everyone participating. It's not easy to reply to everyone, especially with life problems.
Anyways, this is all I'm posting for today. Ciao!
Got it.
I'd like to join the developer commitee. Question 1: Either one works, but I would prefer being a General Commitee Member. Question 2: I can do almost every morning and a bit in the afternoon for the weekdays.

Okay, that makes more sense.
I'll work on the rest of the races (cats, goblins, etc) when I finish the base RPG, because obviously, it's gonna take a while with those.

I don't think I have the time to be a developer, but if you need help with anything just ask.
I actually was thinking you'd want to be one, as you stick around a lot and you've had experience doing this kind of thing... You'd probably be the first person accepted if you had decided to sign up, to be honest.

I have been reading everything and I would really like to help further this RP. Maybe if we get this big enough we can get our own sub-forum.
Question 1: I can do either one.
Question 2: 5 Days a week unless something comes up.
My character shall be a Human Rogue, but Character classes are meh, so his backstory will be a bit different. Still working on a name.
Intelligence: 12 Charisma: 8 Constitution: 2 All others: 0
Yeah, they really only were meant for presets. xD I did plan on adding stuff like "halflings are better at hiding with their small size" later on, but that might just be a sentence for now.
Alright, thanks for making your character! By the way, the other attributes DO help in the story, so yeah. And Dexterity is the best attribute for rogues, as they have to be agile and quick in order to move around, sneak, flip over someone, etc.
OOC: I volunteer myself to help. do i post my answers to those questions in jammers?
Thanks! Whatever way you want.
OOC: Ok then Question 1. I could be either a writer or do other stuff. Question 2. Well i can usually be on the LMBEs all week, but if i go somewhere or have a friend over or something i just go inactive without saying i will be inactive .
I don't think I have the time to be a developer, but if you need help with anything just ask.

Like I said, I just don't think I have the time. I quit running my own GM RP because of time, so I don't think I can take this on right now. That being said, if you do need help with anything (and that goes for all the developers, too), all you need to do is ask.
