New race proposal: Cynoceph
Mostly flat aptitudes except:
They should make good and different conjurers/enchanters/warpers. As a draw for other play-styles they have the same MR level as Mummies.
The idea is that they'll almost never run out of MP but it will be difficult to get higher level spells on-line. Rings and staffs of power let them cast spells a level or so higher than they normally could so should be especially valuable.
An initial version is here:

A couple of caveats:
- God powers that require MP may need to be scaled
- The MP regeneration rate needs to be tweaked some
