02-08-07, 07:08 PM It's stuff like this that not only gives me hope for humanity. I'm not so sure about that +2 balance, if I recall correctly Snarf was always a bit of a klutz. Other than that it looks good. Now if you will all excuse me I have a date with my DM about playing one of these.

Who are Pinky and the Brain? And why would you think of them from the title, New Race: Snarf?

02-24-07, 06:56 PM I thought Snarfquest as well.

As to Pinky and the Brain, they are cartoon characters (lab mice), originally introduced in Animaniacs back in the nineties who tried to take over the world in nearly every episode. They did get their own series for a season or two later on. Pinky's catch phrases included the declarations of "Narf" and "Poit" at the end of sentences or when confused or surprised (which was often).

I miss the cartoons from the eighties and nineties. Might just be nostalgia talking, but they were so much more entertaining then most of the crap put out now.

Now, to the OP. It looks good, you might want to consider increasing their move though as they do move on all fours, especially when running.

Has anyone posted stats for Thundarians or mutants?

I think the Shifter race from Eberron could work real well to represent the Tundarians...and some of the mutants.
