Does 'You will create a character within any race you can imagine, so long as it fits the era' include the possibility of creating reasonable races, or are we 'merely' (that scope would still be vast enough) free to choose from those races which have been introduced in common fantasy literature ?

...hmmm interesting question. I suppose you can customize a character race/class. As long as it isn't designed to give you some sort of unfair advantage and makes logical sense. 

Thanks!
