Well, this has probably already been talked about, but could it have magic mutations. You hire a mage to cast magic on you so you can GROW AN ARM OUT OF YOUR FOREHEAD!!! Well seriously, the Klyros might be able to have hands grow out of the points where their wings bend. Where they usually draw claws on dragons.
Or a diaboli could get spikes on their tails. (Just so you know I sn@tched that idea from the weapons, items thread.) Get a third eye, for magic reasons. etc.etc.
Also, maybe you get get mages to name your weapons to make them more powerful, but you have to pay much wampum and you get to choose the name.

Cool, but what about those aqautic elves? maybe extra fins to fight with or swim faster.
-
Finally!!! Someone replied!!!!!!
Yeah, I hadn\'t thought much about the other races. The water-RATS!! could also get dolphin tails maybe. And if a Diaboli wanted to spend the money to follow up their look they could get wings and a spell so they wouldn\'t need hallow bones to be light, but it would wear out after a while.
-
That would be cool, but what about Lemurs? They\'re basically green eggheads, what mutation could enhance them?
-
They could be greener eggheads!! They\'d be mages right? Well, you could have like a third eye, or an arm that channels azure magic or something like that.
\"Congratulations! You now have a very magical pinky!\" :D
-
LOL. The idea for channeling magic is cool, but you could make their head get all bloated with a giant brain, that way if your spell is too strong, their heads explode. I;m guessing the Krans hands would become like giant warhammers or something.
-
Maybe for really, ultimately, experienced Kran could use magic to get arms that could change shape. Imagine Terminator 2.
-
I kind of like this idea. For one, you can do things easily and wield extra weapons. However, walking around with an arm sticking out of your forehead will increase the weight on the forehead, and your head will probably droop onto your body. I wouldn\'t agree to extra body parts(unless it\'s \'reasonable\'), but I agree with turning your body parts into something else for a limited period of time. I think that the spell should be extremely high in mana, as creatures of evil would be turning their hands into keys/lockpicks and steal everything possible, and nerves in your hand will only make things easier, because you can feel around. Maybe you can tone things down a bit... I don\'t know how for now.
All in all, I am okay with this idea.
-
That sounds pretty cool, Barak. Have you seen that Samuiri Jack, where Jack fights the Lava Monster? Thats what it reminds me of. I like Wormtails idea too. What about the possibilities of permanent damage? Like Wormtails idea about nerves being used for lockpicks, what if they messed up, and their hand stayed all mangledlooking until they payed an NPC alot of gold just to change it back.
-
Well, I was just joking about the arm/forehead thing. Just a bit of spastic humor.
Yeah, I watch Samuri Jack but I can\'t really remember much from that episode. The new episodes are really sweet, aren\'t they?
With the arm that channels magic, I meant from them (Like of they were casting a spell) not into them.
I\'m not so sure about permenant arms, cause then they\'d be something like that Hindu god with all those arms and be swinging around a crazy amount of weapons. Just little add-ons like tails to make the fish-elves swim faster or little spikes on Diaboli\'s tails, maybe something like brass knuckles for Kran.
This idea isn\'t completely in a serious sense, but maybe for humans their legs could split into two smaller legs at the joint so they could run faster?
-
LOL. Suddenly, they become more bland and unapealling than any other race. EVER. You were joking? Darn, I was getting into the ideea too. I liked the Samurai Jack about Demongo, that was awesome.
-
How much lag would this cause?
Maybe any race could get eyes, that give them night vision. Klyros could have extra hands where thier wings bend.
-
The Lemurs could have prehensile(sp?) tails , could add another aspect to the game where they are the best in a climbing situation maybe.
-
Maybe there could also tatooe magic? You get a bunch of tatooes and it makes new spells accesible.
-
Hey, that sounds cool. You could get runes tatooed on your arm and that could work like a default attack where you just point that hand at them and BAM!
-
yeah thats like in a story of Weiss and Hickman \"Gate of Death\" (i think that\'s its name in English because i read it in dutch, called: \"Poort des Doods\" :] )
In that book there were 2 super-powerful races: Patryns and Sartans. The 2 used rune-magic, the Sartans sang the runes and the Patryns drew the runes in the air. Those Patryns looked like humans but the only difference between humans and Patryns were that the skin of a Patryn was full of tattoos (rune-tattoos to make their magic stronger).
It\'s a good strory actually, a serie of 7 books... I just finished them. I surely recommend them to all fantasy-lovers here...
Hmmm, if u dont like fantasy.. WOT R U DOING HERE?!? :P
...just read the books...
-greetz-
-
diabolis could get extra tails, and klyros could get more wings. just a wild thought.
-
just imagine a 2 headed kran fighting a dwarf with beer mugs for arms that he could beat people with, sounds like a plan to me.
-
This is an awesome idea, my Lemur could get a giant brain that he could channel almost all magic with. That book sounds cool, where did you find it?
-
There would have to be a limited accessory of tatooes for the sake of lag of course. Kinda like Black & White, but without the importing option.
Maybe you could also use magic to improve some senses, or boost reflexes and strength. Anyone play Shadowrun? It would be similar to the cyberware rules. Maybe there could also be venomed fangs?
What\'s prehensile mean again? Is that were it has muscles allowing it to move more like a limb than a fly swatter?
It would be awesome to see a Klyros with four wings like a dragon fly!
