Let's do this.

[list=1]
[*]Yeah, there's a crapload of other races in Shadowrun. Shapeshifters frequently end up in the shadows seeing as they're often actively hunted. Like I said, I don't have any specific idea about where this is gonna go yet, so at the moment I'm cool with other races.[/*]
[*]Yeah, Idunno about the dice. I thought it might be cool to just, like, use the Sixth World rules with rolling 2d6, counting 1-6 as a fail, 7-9 as a weak success and 10+ as a strong success, and basing the post on the result. Just to reflect how things can go haywire and stuff. But these things get really complicated really quickly, so maybe we should just stick to hashing it out in the OOC.[/*]
[*]Either way, it's gonna be mostly free-form. I'd like to run an actual game at some point, but it's not gonna be right now ^_^[/*]
[/list]

Hope that cleared things up a bit.
