Special racial and class, Cantrips that only affect Mundane
There are many books that have "assimar", "tieflings", vampires, and shifters able to hide their appearance or strangness from the normals of the world, but not from each other.
Picture certain races able to cast at will "racial" cantrips ["Castings"?], such as Grey elfs able to do a Casting that allows them to take an appearance of a human of similiar look, age, and size to them self.
Also picture class Castings, that only work on Mundanes, like a clerical Casting to either return a single hp to a mundane or Casting for blessing that only works on mundanes.
My evil sense of humor would include for a fighter to cast the ability to strike one mundane per round per fighters level. Yes , I know they can do this in first edition. but I don't limit the existance of mundanes to first edition. Another idea is the ability in the middle of a Battle to Cast for five out of command mundanes battling on the fighters side into command and allowing these mundanes movement and defence bonuses.
To me the idea of certain Player Races; able to hide from mundanes at will but not from each other or heroes creates a more exclusive group for adventurers.
I even have the idea of seperate Vampyr race that is usually made of mundane, mundane minions of Vampires, unlike the Normal Vampires converted with classes. Only as I usually have Heroes come either from the minion races (0-level or >1d8 races), these break free of their masters when they begin to show class advancement
