Title: New quality: Spike Baby
Post by: Aelavel on <05-08-12/1726:39>

Wondering what exactly Spike Baby would give, besides making the character older.

Maybe some more free knowledge skills?

In the name of all that is holy, do not make this at all mechanically favorable.  I think we've seen enough Drizz't clones to know that a sudden bandwagon spike baby count would far exceed the total population of Seattle within days of publication.

Make it 5 bp, you get 4 more BP to spend on Knowledge skills, and your normal cap of one Knowledge skill at 6 or two at 5 is doubled (2 at 6, or 4 at 5, or 1 at 6, 2 at 5). There you go.

Seems good UmaroVI.  Something simple yet captures the feel.  Maybe some text to say that it doesn't mix well with Sinner (as in someone may notice how old they are...)

Actually, from what I understand, Spike Babies are a known phenomenon and Elves living a really, REALLY long time is perfectly normal.

Should definitely make sure to note it as an "Elf Only" quality, though. ;D

Elf and Dwarf, actually. Some Dwarf spike babies could still be around.
