Can we perhaps get a small list of races that COULD be played by application? And ROUGHLY how much kismet would be required? I remeber seeing Tabaxis and Centaurs about but do t see any pc of thrm now.

I don't have a clue, But I did group with a centaur once :) that was very fun. I would have interest in playing a Tabaxi at some point if possible

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong....

I have always been under the impression that one cannot apply for an alternate race outside of what is offered. The races provided are chosen because they keep a certain balance of power among the character base. Centaurs (and others) were offered previously, but found to be a bit imbalanced and where thus removed. It is not FK's style to punish players for resulting changes, so you may find very old players logging into this unique race characters from time-to-time. (You might also find a character polymorphed into one of these interesting races! Sneaky wizards!)

Applications are used to work within the set, balanced races for unique traits like a different class, alignment, faith, etc. These alterations are fun, should be restricted for game aesthetics, but do not cause an imbalance the power of the character base at all.

I hope this helps (and I hope its on point and accurate!)

If my information is still up to date, it is possible to apply for an alternate race. However, something like that would be very rarely granted, and likely require a high amount of kismet and a history of great roleplay. Races that can be applied for would include any playable race, including but not limited to tabaxi, centaurs, wemics, bugbears, and hobgoblins.

Nylo said it quite nicely. It would be very expensive, and they are EXTREMELY rarely accepted. (In my 13? years on FK there have been 4ish.)
