"I was tinkering with the idea of making the Basitins more of a magitech race, to make up for their lack of magic users."
So they were going to be the Garlean empire from Final fantasy 14 before final fantasy 14 existed. that would of been SO cool.

I get the feeling that if I told her my eyes were looking above her knees instead of below them, I'd get shot three times instead of two.

Deciding against magitek basitins is a missed opportunity but seeing how all races still use swords and shields I guess them being the best melee fighters is fine.

Now I really want to see more of this character

'Do I feel lucky?' Is that a trick question?

Give the Basitin the ingenuity and creativity of our world's firearms technology, and they will single-handedly wipe out their entire world in a couple of decades, at the very least they should reach WWII technology against the dragons.

Would welcome these Basitins. Maybe make them FAR future ones. 8)

Perhaps make the Basitins from the south... the Deep South.

More like they'd be able to body nearly everyone BUT dragons. We saw first hand how even a fledgling like Reno can just butterfly away weapons. And she's bad at transformation magic.

Is it weird that my first thought was to question if her ankles were covered?

Blast me mommy!

That's why I say that with World War II level firearms technology, the Basitin could go toe to toe with the dragons. Not even talking about technology from the 1950s, where the first air-to-air guided missiles began to appear.

Dragons are the ONLY latent threat of magic, so far the masks have either not shown their full potential or have restrictions to do so. Outside of that, the rest of the magic shown does not pose a problem for the weapons technology of our world, except for infiltration magic (as transformation), but as the technology adapts to the needs of its civilization, finding or manufacturing artificial solutions is possible, advantages of science, my friend.

Honestly a solid idea and possibly to see that with time travel
