How does one create a medusa playable race, keep it true to the lore, and make it balanced with the other races? Now, I have a request for a medusa playable race. Recently, I created weretigers and vampires and I think I did a pretty good job of keeping within the theme (if I say so myself). I always like a challenge when it comes to creating playable races.
