I made a thread, a long time ago, suggesting various minor tweaks to Lampar to make them more playable in the long term. Most of this was rejected because the idea that giving a race more powers and abilities doesnt make them more fun, and Lampar are meant to fit into the Harmless niche. One of my points that I feel still holds a lot of merit, especially given the heated debate me and @Parz1vol had about Lampar's place in society and how they should be viewed (hoi :3) is their memory.
I am still of the belief that having a race that is both ADHD, and has a near nonexistence long term memory makes for, if not an unplayable race, then an extremely difficult race to do anything with.
After all, the point of Roleplay, as far as I have heard on the wiki or from staff, is for character development. If your character wont remember the people it meets, or the things it has done, there is no real progression. It basically forces Lampar to be side characters that spend most of their time shelved.
There are exceptions, and niches can be found by people who really try to try and make something of it as it is now, but it is an extreme amount of effort for someone to go through to play a harmless random mouse person.
So, my only change, which I think was the most important one on my old suggestion thread, is that they simply have their short term memory removed. Or at least nerfed in some way. Maybe they are bad with remembering numbers and dates and other data-intensive things, but names and experiences are like a standard Ailor, or only slightly worse.
