First I'd like to say hello, and that so far Layonara really has my interest. It looks pretty cool and I wish I'd have heard of it sooner. I have a few questions before I start on my character bio, though.
Second, I've never played a Brownie, and I'd like to here. I noticed, though, that on this page- http://www.layonaraonline.com/player_info/subrace.asp - it doesn't list brownies, but on this page - http://nwn.layonara.com/Races%20of%20Layonara - it does. Since the first page is on the Start Here section for new players, does this mean I can't have a Brownie as my first character? Or was it just never added to the first page?
Now, assuming I can make a Brownie, I have another question. On the second webpage it says this for the physical destription...
"Physical Description:
Brownies are tiny, even compared to a Halfling. They range from 1.5 to 2 feet tall and usually have brown hair and blue or green eyes. They favor brightly colored garments though tend towards greens and browns when traveling to better blend into the forest."
What about skin color? Do they have certain skin colors that brownies tend to be? IE it says goblins have skin tones ranging from yellow-brown to olive and orcs have blue or blue-gray skin.
And lastly (for now) I'm assuming that on the character submission form I list Halfling as base race and Brownie as the subrace. I know brownies aren't actually a subrace, but for the NWN engine, they are. Or am I wrong and I should list brownie as the base race?
Thanks in advance.

List brownie as sub-race when and if you get approved for it.
As for Skin they are like halflings being very tiny humans in appearence.
A brownie makes a halfling look tall when they stand side by side.
The Rules part wait for a DM to reply.

It was never added to the first page, go right ahead with a brownie!
Do they have certain skin colors that brownies tend to be?
Just like tiny humans as Force of Will said.
I'm assuming that on the character submission form I list Halfling as base race and Brownie as the subrace.
Correct. And when you create him in game, click on Halfing, and then on subrace and enter brownie in the subrace field and you're all good.
Enjoy!

If any brownies have gone missing around Hlint, Zug might have accidentally stepped on them... 8)

I Play Mille Mooneyes whos I think most PCs know as shes always a dashing about.
My brownie Mille is the best PC i have ever had, shes fun and grate to play.
She Makes maps and has been with lots of other DM edvenchers.
I should say some things about brownies that are not on the web site.
In game a lot of the PC brownies like to be called "Quickling" not "brownie"
Its just sound better and well brownies sounds like an insolt but your PC my like it
you will see why when your PC is in game they move very fast.
Also brownies are related to Halfling but they are also Fey
So there looks can be from ether group. I would say Green Skin is ok.
Mille has green hair from her Fey side etc
Most brownies/Quicklings from the start talk Halfling and the Tool (halfling ear for this)
is of grate use in game, Mille aften talks to halflings V thing in game.
Also Size wise Quicklings take a hit with weapons so a Raipa is a 2 handed weapon to a brownies
Rember that. But you get back +1AC for small size so it evens out.
Magic resetance is very good, but its only 10 keep that in mind when your out and about.
In game some brownies use the world "Tall" or "Talls" to any body not a brownie as that what they are to a Quickling.
So Hlint is the "Talls City" etc.
Rembers brownies love fun and tricks so if you ever do a miss click or some thing dumb in game
just RP it as a Quicklings sense if fun. You will find the other Pcs very forgiving as we all mess up some times.
Don't be afread to stay back and hide its the Quickling way to hide, run, fight in a world of talls its the only thing that can keep you alive some times.
Last of all, in game a long cape realy helps other PC see your very small Quicklings on DM games
It Dos not afeact your Hide or MS skills just helps other playes see ya in the tall grass.
Well right him/her up and Look for Mille in game
See you soon.
PS.
A mage Quickling would have a lot of fun riding there Fimiler around.
A raven or dog, very cool RP stuff there or you could have a male Quickling
who wife is his Pixe Fimilers where she thinks its the other way around he is hers.
Now that would be funny RP
