My only problem with the 4 classes I tried, was the wizards look. "Prancing" as a combat stance was...embarassing, not to mention being forced into a dress expecting an NPC to whisper "It rubs the lotion on its skin". I know bath robes are comfortable, but so are pants. Other classes, awesome, Rogue standing out as my favorite.

I'm pretty down on the look of my female dwarf. She's a battle cleric, and I wanted her to look like a tough dwarf: broad shoulders, massive frame, squat but stout, etc. Instead, she looks like a short human woman who ate one too many pastries. All the male NPCs have the right qualities (I haven't seen any female dwarven NPCs). Please rethink the art so we can play cool looking dwarves, ready for battle, in either gender.
I like the prehensile tail - I use something like that (in my games Kobolds are deamonlings). I don't like the connection to dragons - I don't like the weakest creatures to be tied to the most powerful in some contrived family bond. To be clear, I have nothing against Kobolds. In fact, some of my best monsters are Kobolds! I believe Draconians (Dragon Lance) cover the humanoid-dragon niche quite well. Anyway, you forgot to post the picture of a Kobold from 2e - you know, the one with...

I am not sure I will go through with it; I was just brainstorming. I was going for a noirish type of set up. I like demons as primal spirits, because there is a surplus of bad guy elemental types (giants, efrets, archons), not enough primal spirit bad guys, and Balors aside, they don't look very elemental. Besides, the notion that nature is out of whack has some storytelling potential.

Greater Mummies should be immune to fire in a big way due to their magical natures and their power and make sure that the there are different kinds of liches; 2nd edition Ravenloft had several kinds of liches from Defiler Liches, Elemental Liches, Drow Liches, and Psionic Liches as well as Dracoliches I would be really cool to include them in it
