Refer to: Yinni.

I've always liked this race write-up, and not just cuz I wrote it haha.  I just think a lot of detail was put into it without making it specific to a campaign setting.  But would a race like this work for FrontierSpace core?  I mean, it's sortof a primitive race.

Then I started thinking...  maybe we could come up with three core (plus human) spacefaring races then produce several pages of suggested races for referees to drop into his games as desired... maybe all the sfman races could be in the Referee book.  Why short-change it?  We could also make a short race creation process (step 1, step 2, etc.) that pretty much describes how to approximate some game balance.

(btw - I edited the yinni a lil to make it use FS ability scores, hope that's ok?)

Fine by me.

Of course. My job was to put it in there "as is" since I don't know the exact game mechanics.

If the Yinni are not one of the core, np. I would still like to make them spacefaring.
