So, something I've thought about a bit, just throwing out for a consensus.
I know it seems like power gaming to play an Ork or Troll who has undergone cosmetic surgery to look more human like. You get all the bonuses without the flavor. But, I look at trolls and think that those horns they have would be a total bitch. Sleeping would suck, among other things. Not to mention tusks on either race. Their mouth is never really quite closed. That's gotta cause issues. Now, take one of these Meta-types that have the ability to install crazy expensive cyber, some of which changes their appearance dramatically already. Wouldn't some of these guys have a little nip-tuck done? For merely convenience sake? I kinda think there would be a few "pretty" Trolls being bouncers in high end type places. I could see social and racial prejudice being thrown there way because of this, but really, Orks and trolls get that already. Any thoughts? |
