Personally, I think they should add ridiculously huge ears and just pretend they're clones of Blizzards WoW elves :P

What rule set is that from? White Wolf? In answer to your question though, not necessarily. 'Cute' and 'Child-Like' are not automatically synonymous. |

The only time I can remember seeing 'Child-like Physique' as a 'flaw' was in the Big Eyes Small Mouth system. I'm fairly certain it doesn't exist in SR. Please tell me you haven't folded BESM into your games too? :dead: (If it's from Whitewolf, then oops, it's been a very long time since I've played in that one).
Which would also burden them with the flaw: Turn too fast and you'll put someone's eye out. |

It's not _every_ time :P
The flaw with WoW NEs is the largish hands. Nasty looking. |

I've had players use night elves before. It didn't suck too bad. Mostly he was a normal runner. Once in a while (about once a run) his enhanced abilities were noticed. It was about the same frequency as the ghoul character's enhanced abilities (running and stuff). It didn't unbalance the game or anything. I now have peace with meta-variants. :sleepy:

I had a player with a night one character once. He worried a lot about being very easy to identify. Let's face it, everyone is gonna remember the hairy purple elf with the Ares Alpha.
He eventually started getting full-body waxes. |

I know you're not. That's why I'm laughing. The image of the Night One getting a full body wax makes me laugh.

I would've gone with an easier method: DYE THE FUR.

He still would've been one of probably 5 night ones in Seattle.

Now everybody in the computer lab is looking at me funny. :rotfl: I think that the lecturer wants an explanation as to why I just busted out laughing during her presentation. |

I mentioned this thread to the player of this tres chic night one character. He reminded me of this detail:
After the first couple of waxes, the salon provided Seamus with a take-home waxing kit for "where the shadows don't go." |

He had "wound penalties" for a day.

That reminds me, just what color IS a night ones skin below the fur? We used to have a cat with *really* sparse fur during the summer, and you could actually see the furts patterns reflected on her skin. (IE: Darker patches of fur had darker patches of skin underneath). Would a - for the sake of an example- dark blue night one have dark blue skin underneath? Light blue skin? Normal flesh tones? I imagine that the fur would have to be pretty dense to look dark atop "normal" flesh tones that were never exposed to sunlight. |

Yeah, our dog was a half-Beagle (I miss him, the little bugger) and he had different patches of skin coloration under his fur. Then again, polar bears have translucent hair without pigment, but they look white due to the scattering of light (and have a darker skin underneath). I'm guessing the skin will bear some resemblance to the elf's heritage, but there's really no way to say for sure... after all, with all that fur, they could very well be pale underneath. |

We discussed this, and for some reason I kind of figured the skin was a kinda greyish version of the hair color.
The hits just keep on coming as the player in question reads this. He just reminded me of the celebration he threw for himself after the first waxing: he had been hiding for a while so he figured he'd go clubbing now that he was a new man. Bought himself a new pair of really tight synthleather pants and headed for Dante's Inferno. And a correction. While he got the rest of his body denuded of hair, he left the hair on his head there. "For the ladies," he said. |

<scratchscratchscratchscratchscratchscratch> That's soooo gotta itch... Raises an interesting point, though - would metavariants suffer the equivalent of the Distinctive Style flaw? Or would you allow them to take such a flaw on the basis of their metatype? |

I'd rule that it could be a factor, but only outside of their normal geographical environment. A Night One wouldn't raise too many eyebrows in Scandanavia, Satyrs would be a relatively common sight in Greece, a Fomori wouldn't be rare in Tir Na nOg, and one of those tall-ass elves wouldn't be all that strange in southern Africa. I wouldn't actually give them the Flaw, and it wouldn't give them any points for their rareness. |

I wish my player realized that problem. He also bought oversized ears and a tail. And he's Hunted. And has a Day Job. And I warned his this was a bad combo of Flaws before play started.
One of the other PCs has asked what the price for a barrel of Nair would be. :) |
