Custom perk question

[razor777]

What is and isn't allowed when it comes to making custom perks for a custom TF? because I have this concept for a perk for a chameleon TF I MIGHT make down the line that lets you change your skin color whenever you please(in essence, a perk that give you a reusable pickmentation effect) but I don't know if that's too good of a perk effect or not.

I could always conceivably nerf the perk so that it only effects skin and not accent markings, if it gets made...

I doubt it's inherently 'too good'. As long as you don't get +Evasion because 'the enemy can't see you properly', or something. It would probably depend on how expensive the item is, how many would be expected to get the Perk and what conditions cause you to lose it.

If it weren't linked to a Chameleon TF, I'd suggest considering a Utility Implant, instead. In that case, you might expand it to changing hair/eye/fur/scale color, too. Taking an Implant slot is a big deal.

Also, Skin color is not necessarily the same as Scale/Chitin color, IIRC.

Ooh I like the sound of a utility implant better, less limitations when it comes to implants.

Plus we'd finally have a utility implant that doesn't just effect sex.
