Satyr rangers (or lack of them)

Just something I noticed: Satyrs race page says that they can be rangers, and it makes sense, after all they would seem natural wardens of forest and scouts of wilderness.

Buuut...

Ranger page does not show satyrs as available race for a ranger, and after checking on character creation, this is the case indeed. So I am wondering if this is an

1) Simple oversight
2) intentional because the whole spirits "no killing" thing
3) Something else?

The 2nd explanation seems rather narrow sighted, as most classes have lethal options in them and it should be the players responsibility to play a non-lethal race as such, not (in my opinion) nonsensical class restrictions.

Wolven have the same thing, as it is stated wolven clerics exist, but we cannot play them.
The same can be said for male swans.

I assume this just means that they DO exist, but namely as NPCs and that the players cannot play them as that class.

Yeah, but Satyr page has Ranger on starting class list.

Yes, sometimes there is a discrepancy between the race and class pages. The easiest way to know for sure is to try to create a new character, pick the race and see if the class is available, which in this case it is not.

(And yes, I do think the current race/class restrictions are way too arbitrary. The game would only benefit from more variety.)

Male Swan May exist, but they are incredibly rare and closely guarded. Therefor they are not available to be selected as Player Charcters. Satyr may just be an oversight which we'll try to fix if so.
