Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
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...
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
ReplyDeleteHands 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?
