Editing Magic: the Gathering RPG (section)

===Character Options===
-----
There are many races in the Magic multiverse and they come from a multitude of different planes. Some races are more likely to be associated with certain colors than others and are indicated with the shorthand letter for that color after their name. Be sure to check with your group before choosing some of the more exotic species.

In addition to species, players may want to add a template to make their character's origin more interesting or change their color identity, or they may choose to use one of the many odd and unusual styles of spell casting found within the countless planes.
(Bonuses and penalties are tentative. May be removed later. Will put in a table format when I get around to it.)
