    Can go ahead, though there's no need to hurry. Will be a while before I can sit down and write any response to the opening post.

    I've been slowly putting together my characters, and I'm getting toward done, but I have several questions:

    • Do you have to pay for racial abilities your avatar has?
    • What kind of racial abilities would a snake-man have (and would he even need to be given any if I don't want them?)?
    • Are bisexual male characters allowed?

    Can I get an answer to this, please?

    Sorry, forgot about them.

    -Do you have to pay for racial abilities your avatar has?
    Yes. Racial traits would be counted as skills or feats - depending on the effect (positive or negative). In some cases (if the trait has negative outcome), they could add a skill.
    -What kind of racial abilities would a snake-man have (and would he even need to be given any if I don't want them?)?
    Like Naga? Half man and half snake (lower part a snake)? Or humanoid with snakeskin? Or human with a snake head?
    -Are bisexual male characters allowed?
    Hmmm... well, you can. But I will certainly not write any scenes involving a man on man.

    Alright. Is there any way to pay for bonus abilities for an avatar?
    Probably anthro-snake, or anthro-snake with a naga tail. So humanoid, but snake skin/head/tail.
    I won't go bisexual, then.

    Basically, positive traits are usually balanced out by negative traits of similar weight.

    For race traits - well, they will be what you will make them. If you give no racial traits, they will be like humans by strengths - only looking/moving differently. Basically, you can customise the entire race. Give them the weaknesses and strengths of your choice.

    The race traits I went with were:
    • Increased stamina and strength
    • Slowed reflexes and speed (not movement speed, though)
    • Natural armour and weapons (not sure how strong it is, though)
    Would it be fair to count that, overall, as a single skill?

    Also, how much would a shield cost?

    Wood shield - 20
    Steel shield - 50

    Not sure abut skill - could you explain what you mean by weapons - armour, I get it - scales. But weapons - Fangs? Claws?

    Mostly crocodilian jaws.

    In this case, it would be two skills.


    • Increased stamina and strength (+2)
    • Slowed reflexes and speed (not movement speed, though) (-2)
    • Natural armour and weapons (not sure how strong it is, though) (+2)
