I just noticed that the the Season 8 Pathfinder Roleplaying Guild Guide list of allowed human ethnicities and languages on p. 25 does not include Vudrani. Was this an oversight or intentional? I understand that an update to the Guide is in the works, so I ask that you consider adding Vudrani to the allowed list. Thank you.

From what I understand, the only human ethnicity specifically off-limits is Azlanti (for many reasons I would think, the least being the +2 to all attributes).

Of those whose language is not in the Roleplaying Guild Guide, Vudrani would be the most likely to be in numbers. That said, the Erutaki, Varki, and Iobarians are known to have their own languages, and I would think the Arcadians would, as well. Whether the Caldaru have their own language, or simply a different dialect of a Garundi tongue remains to be seen, and what language the Lirgeni spoke is also a bit vague.

For those wondering, those ethnicities above are listed in Inner Sea Races. Varki and Iobarian languages are from APs, and the Erutaki section of People of the North note they have their own language.

FWIW, Vudrani and various other ethnicities are still explicitly legal via a variety of other sources, notably the Inner Sea World Guide and Inner Sea races.

I don't think adding Vudrani to the Guide would be controversial (unless it causes a cascading series of formatting troubles or something).

If the word count can stand a slight increase, throwing in a line explicitly saying something along the lines of: "This list is not exhaustive, check the Additional Resources for ethnicities made available by other sources" might be nice.

This sounds like an oversight—one that's especially strange because I thought we copied over the list of languages directly from the No Hablo Shoanti blog. Vudrani should be part of the list.

I thought that this might be the case. Thanks for your quick response.

Possibly over-correction of a spelling error in the blog?
