Normal Award subrace options.
Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2016 12:02 pm
Currently, the benefits of normal awards are limited to -2 ECL, horse riding, and good-aligned monster characters.
While these are all good in themselves, I believe the variety of reward options available could be increased, such as by adding races which could be interesting to roleplay without being too far-fetched, but do not give significant mechanical advantages.
-Half-Drow Subrace: Half-Elf base race.
Mechanics: Same base mechanics as the Half-Elf, plus Darkvision.
Alignment: Can only be Evil or Neutral in alignment.
Language: Loses Elven, gains Undercommon, Xanalress and Sign Language.
Region: Starts in Andunor. Subject to killscripts, but not to sunlight restrictions.
-Deep-Imaskari Subrace: Human base race. Skin colour must be in a range of sickly pale to unnaturally pale.
Mechanics: +2 INT, -2 DEX, Darkvision, +4 to Hide in underground areas, one additional spell slot for 1st circle in all (arcane?) classes.
Alignment: Any (The race is mostly neutral leaning as a whole, but perhaps preventing the Good alignment could be an Arelith-specific restriction to fit with the current Underdark).
Favoured Class: Wizard.
Language: Undercommon.
Region: Starts in Andunor. Subject to sunlight restrictions?.
-Gray Orc: Half-Orc base race.
Mechanics: +2 WIS, +4 to Search and Spot (to represent the "Scent" ability), +1 ECL.
