What are the Class abilities for Latinos, and do I as a Filipino get the Asian Chi-powered version of that class?

I'm afraid only Chinese, Japanese and Koreans get Chi powers.

You get...(checks list)...stick fighting.

Depends on the region, between the Rio Grande and the Usumacinta rivers you get to choose between Eagle, Snake or Jaguar knights or shaman, hunter & Nahual.

Abbilities are of course Class dependent: Eagle Knights get the abbility to fly at 5th Lvl, Snake Knights are faster than the eye and really sneaky, Jaguar Knights get Fearsome Roar, all of them get +2 to AC from their respective armor.

Shaman and Hunter are meh classes but Nahual... Witch that can cast curses and shapeshift into animals.

You get stick fighthing, sorry them the rules.

Can you guys quit the bickering and get to actually making this game? I would totally buy it and play it (assuming I'm allowed to as a white man)

You can play, but you can only choose between Knight and Cowboy, and you have to blunder around being blunt, while the Asians casually insult you for being an ignorant round-eye.
I'm a middle aged guy with a lot of free time, looking for similar, to form a group for regular gaming. You should be chill, non-woke, and have time on your hands.

You can buy it to show your allyship but you aren't allowed to run or play it.

Yea, but if you play a Cowboy, the Asians can only either play Cookie or Railroad Worker....

Cookie and Railroad Worker are only the "Face" classes that the GM lets the ignorant round-eye playing the Knight or Cowboy know about.

In reality, Cookie and Railroad Worker are from the same "Kwai Chang" prestige class, and are secret masters of Kung-Fu.

Which the round-eye devil white player will find out about, the second his Knight or Cowboy PC fucks around...

I just want to say these leftard "influencers" do tend to have very lonely and sad endings.  They do not get ahead in life chasing Marx, they end up alone, bitter and childless.  Speaking of which "Good News" /fansworth.  This Anita Sarkeesian's ending, its cat urine and ice cream till she dies now.  She was an ice breaker in censorship and did a number on game studios dumb enough to listen to her.  A lot of the commisar's based their grift on her grift.

The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

giving diverse audiences different ways to play that suit them can be a good thing.

Now, I don't pretend to speak for anybody but... Can someone please explain to me how assuming that I for being Latino have or can have a different way to play elfgames than whitey, blacks, asians, etc isn't biological essentialism and racism?

I guess the author is including it as a disclaimer to shield himself from the mob... Good luck with that.

Because you have different snacks at the table? You have real tacos and not Taco Hell? You, being latino, would play salsa music and not heavy metal? ;)

Seriously: beats the fuck out of me. I don't understand why these people are so racist. Nope, never mind, I've read some of the leftie publications and can see how their minds are captured. They are some sad little people.

Joseph Ravitts honored my Hispasian brethren in Dragon #124... /sigh yes it was Stickfighting. But! he did a great job. Kahanga-hanga, Joe!



I'd post the rest, but it's 4-pages... It's a solid class for OA tho. I remember using it back in the day.
