Spectre

I think this would be an awesome mod for those of us who love the Shadowrun universe. Most of vanilla actually fits pretty well already for a Shadowrun style game, so we already have the 'tech' but I thought talented modders could take the idea further.

Metahumans

Elves, Orks, Trolls, Dwarves etc ideally they would be their own 'race'. We already have human as a race, however I've noticed there isn't an abundance of alien mods out there so I imagine modding those particular things isn't easy. Ideally we'd have each individual race with their own sprite and stats, but perhaps the trait system could be a work around? A human with the Elf trait, for example, wouldn't ever get frail, bad back, cataracts (things that the game give 'old' people), the Troll trait would perhaps have higher individual hit points for each part of their body and a +5 to melee. You see where I'm going with that. However I have no idea if traits are completely random when it comes to outsider pawns (it would be odd to see a human with the traits 'Elf, 'Dwarf', 'Troll')

Magic

Unfortunately I doubt we will be able to really get into the intricacies of magic like in Shadowrun, however I have noticed that some mods do add skills not in vanilla like fishing. So I was thinking that 'magic' is still a weapon, like some sort of talisman, which shoots some ball to represent magic. We could have that skill be incredibly rare if possible, even better would be that almost every character has the equivalent of 'incapable of violence' or 'incapable of magic' so that most pawns can't use said items.

These are just some hastily typed out thoughts and would welcome anyone adding their own thoughts.
