Um, so what about occasional distribution of random capabilities. Some physical, some mental, some magical. In the smallest percent pf the population.

That's like, what, only five or ten more points along with the original 20, right?

@ Jester: The little islands? And have you made any landscape chages I need to know about?

[jester_of_god]

...it's best to maake something that wont spontaneously combust the second you blink or turn away from it, otherwise enemies could use that to their advantage. It has to at least follow the laws of physics somewhat...like take me, I pulled a giant diamond fortress out of the middle of the ocean and created an almost mile deep layer of pure salt just to keep it stable, and I'm going to do it again in this one just to provide a good defense. the salt could easily create snow blindness while, providing a great vantage oint to sea oncoming invasions.

O.o

Um...well, THAT mental picture won't stick in my head FOREVER...

[jester_of_god]

I'm going to make it a copy of the old one.

[neogenetica]

Oh, ah.I wasn't going to go THAT far. I was just going to make mine long lived human like beings with a ten to twenty score in everything. Would that be alright?

[Marvelous Miscreant]

I don't now what that would look like since I wasn't there the first time.

[Zaleramancer]

I'll go with six.

But.. are there any other things I should know about them?

Also, if you want it to cost less, just add a few flaws to offset the point price.

[neogenetica]

But the salt would dissolve in water.

Fine, it is suspended on a large base of rocks, which is supported by a steep, thick rock bridge going from the West side of the volcano to about 300 feet above the center of the volcano. I grow various plants there, some of which are slightly magical or supernatural.

Enhanced Strength. (3) yes
Enhanced Agility. (3) yes
Energy Absorption.
 - Ability to grow to large sizes (5) No, normal size is about five to six feet
 - Extreme Age Retardation (12) HECK NO, do you think I would make a race of retards. they learn through energy absobtion as well.
Fast Maturation (3) This could be lengthened to about a month if needed I suppose.


Flaws
Savage Nature (-2) Not savage entirely, just not hoighty toity cultural.

19 Points + 20 during first age.

44 Points for the race without any other bonuses martially or knowledgeably.

By the way, both technology level and any discoveries related to magic use are Knowledge based.

[GreenDay]

It mans they age slowly, not that they are stupid

[Zaleramancer]

Longevity doesn't overtly bother me. Nigh-Immortality does.

As for the ten-twenty.

That will take a crap ton of points, but It's possible.


I'm considering reducing the amount of points you people get now.

[neogenetica]

O_O Oh dear, is it still one divine point equals two stat? Don't worry I'll probably just give them a few hundred years to live and twenty in all three stats. Is that okay?

[Zaleramancer]

If they learn through energy absorption, then the price goes up even farther.


The main difference between Age Retardation and Longevity is that Longevity implies that they have a slower rate of aging normally. The other is when they can age slowly under certain conditions.

[Celadon's Penultimate]

Well, if two supers reproduce, NONE of their kids will have powers. And likely only one or two of their grandkids. Even if they have a lot.

And the males ages slightly faster, so they live about 3/4 as long, although both sexes are slightly longer lived than normal.

And anyone who's got the power Longevity in my race, naturally takes on the role of an elder. Have to be given away at birth, after their genes are read, and raised up to be old, stuffy philosophers who quibble all the time and inquire of things that don't matter.

[Zaleramancer]

1:2 When you make them.

2:1 To increase it after you've made them.

[neogenetica]

Oh, okay.Thats why I'm saving up on points to give them good stats when I make them.

[Zaleramancer]

Gene Reading?

As for everything, I'd say a six. So long as none of the powers are excessive and fit into the setting.

[neogenetica]

Congratulations on two thousand posts Zale!!!!!
