Also, specify SECOND AGE. Many of us play also HQ/RQ3 campaigns set in the Third Age.

Thanks, since this is a Mongoose Forum, I assumed it was known to be Second Age. It is now changed.
I wanted to add Troll, Elf, and Dwarf, but I cannot change that.

If I added Ducks, it would be with an Orange Sauce.
Like I said "OTHER!"
Besides, would they not fall under Hsunchen? Beastmen..
As would Minotaurs, Ducks, Centaurs etc....

Hsunchen are humans that turn beasts. Minotaurs, Centaurs and Ducks are half-men, half-beast, and do not change shape. Well, ducks are not half-men, they are all-ducks, but they certainly are not Hsunchen.

Did you mean what "faction", rather than "fraction"?

Dear All,
Or if a Duck, about a tenth.

Everyone is a critic.
OK the Main Glorantha book list Hsunchen as Beastmen, and on the last part of the section, it says that there are other beastmen that retain thier shape permanently, such as Minotaurs, Centaurs, and Ducks. So, I have always understood that to mean that the latter three are Hsunchen.
So, are they or are they not?

Geez! Was it Robin Laws who wrote that misleading paragraph? How I dislike these books that try and explain everything in "plain fantasy" terms...
No, they are not Hsunchen. If you re-read carefully p.6 of the GtSA book, you will notice that in the first paragraph Robin wrote: "Hsunchen are disparate tribes of hunter/gatherers worshipping a totemic ancestor, who can switch form between beast and man." This is the correct definition of Hsunchen, and does not apply to Ducks, Centaurs and Minotaurs: they are not hunter/gatherers, especially the ducks who dwell in cities, and they do not switch form.

Thanks for clarifying that. It was a little confusing, as the first section does say HUNTER/GATHERERS. That last tidbit through me off..

Well, I play Orlanthi in the Second Age at the moment, which is a refreshing change for me, as I play Lunar/Solar in the Third age.
