Basics. Last night my favourite character caught "tEh gh00l". Which basically totally ruins the character, or will require so much adaption that the entire personality and lifestyle will have to change. It's around a year long "campaign" type thing, so I'm going to naturally try to bear with it. Due to this, I've actually gone out of my way to proper read ghouls and such and realised that they're horribly unbalanced, they get totally, TOTALLY shafted. Favourite character aside (although I wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't for that fact), ghouls are supposed to be pickable as a PC race... yeah, right, who's going to do that? Flavour is nice, yes. Although I'd compare picking ghoul to the flavour of shit. So anyway, for the last couple of hours, I've been adding things up and jotting down some suggestions and trying to work out some of the extra modifiers that are hard to apply things with. Basically, I'm trying to rebalance them so they come to a +0 total, slightly under or higher works too, which ever way, but they should end up a reasonable choice, despite all the negatives that happen. Anyway, this is what I've kind of worked out with my odd logic, I'm sure not everyone will agree on the values and points I've added up. I'm mostly looking for suggestions and such to balance them up. The creative minds of this lil' place should sure come up with more than myself only. I'm just going to paste my notes and such below, it's a little messy, but shouldn't be hard to read.
Thanks in advance, - Baatorian |
