The most useful feature would be opposable thumbs. It's debatable whether bipedalism would be an advantage for a quadruped critter, since the rolling gait of a human is really only useful for efficiently (but not quickly) traveling long distances, such as with persistence hunting.
Hands and bipedalism are the big ones, for sure. In the rules I'm writing, full human hands are needed for using regular ranged weapons. Since I'm writing short rules, I'm debating whether even including human looks is worth it. If I'm playing an anthropomorphic animal, I want to look like a Dr. Moreau experiment, not just a hairy dude. But maybe people like the option to be a cat-girl that's more girl than cat?
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
If I was the mutant on the end I'd be kind of pissed about the lack of penis, I think.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is that...
