Cloaks for moster races

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Cloaks for moster races

Post by Dalenger »

While I appreciate that under no conditions is my kobold/gnoll/goblin going to end up successfully disguising himself as anything other than that race, it would be nice if there was an option to throw a cloak over your character so that you could appear to be normal from a distance.

This could be done using the "crafting skills" option on the radial menu, similarly to how a non-monster race would chance her image.

This disguise would by no means allow a monster to interact with surface folk, as their face and voice would still be monster. However, it would allow them to not be immediately recognized as a monster from a distance.

This would open up roleplay espionage opportunities priory ruled against due to monster races not having any means to disguise themselves, or mechanically look like anything other than their race. (see: http://wiki.arelith.com/Disguise under "disguise roleplay notes").
