Sphinx Race Marker

[Jarylan]

Simple idea, requires no additional items, just a slight tweak to the racial calculator.

Sphinx: 9 race points possible
Human Head, +1 Point
Human Eyes, +1 Point
Human Ears, +1 Point
Regular Hair, +1 Point
Has Fur, +1 Point
Lion or Feline Arms, +1 Point
Lion or Feline Legs, +1 Point
Lion or Feline Tail, +1 Point
Dove or Avian Wings, +1 Point

It's quite probable that this list of traits might be able to be condensed down further, but this is the first pass idea. Thoughts?

You know that's actually a pretty good idea. Wouldn't be that hard to code up either. Wonder what other creatures we can hodge podge together....

 

[Jarylan]

If you have other suggestions, they could be compiled into a single design document for submission.

Hm.... maybe harpy? Or gorgon? I think we have that last one already.... shit this is harder than I thought lol.

 

[Jarylan]

Gorgon is possible, though we don't have snake hair. Closest is tentacles.

 

[PanzerGuitar00]

we don't have snake hair

Wait seriously? I could have sworn that was added with snake boba....

You might be thinking of the snake 'hood', which takes the place of hair.

I've been half-wanting a 'Hellcat', though that's a less common archetype than Hellhound.

Generally, I think you're better off leaving details to the player's imagination. 'Feline' could easily be any breed you like, for example.
However, 'Lion' is already very specific and there are no other dedicated Big Cats. 'Mostly Lion' + Stipes could easily be 'Tiger'. + Spots would be 'Leopard'. Or maybe 'Cheetah', if you have low Thickness. This might require clearing up if Pickmenation markings show through Fur. Currently it's ambiguous.
