And 27 amulets?

Stasis stacks, right?

How about being able to wear a ring for every tooth?

THis race is obviously underpowered.
We should nerf mummies to compensate.

Equipment Slots:
-- 27 amulets
-- 27 hats
-- cloak
-- no rings
-- no gloves
-- no boots
-- no armour

Hydras, like Felids, cannot use wands, weapons, or throwing, and also cannot use scrolls because hydras can't read. (Literate Hydras would just be silly.)
However, their excess heads allow them to drink 27 potions a round.
Wins: DsWz(6), DDNe(4), HuIE(5), HuFE(4), MiBe(3)

Sorry, that was a little bit inside. I mean, stasis does have wonderful resistances...

Hydras can also cast 27 spells a turn, since they have 27 heads to do so, but their int is divided by 27 to compensate.

Yeah, that sounds much better balanced. When do you think it'll be in trunk?

It think the idea itself is not as funny as imagining a 27-headed hydra wearing a different hat and amulet on every head.

Re: 27-head Lernaen Hydra for race

Mr Spats had 21 hats
and none of his hats were the same
Mr Smeds had 21 heads
but only one hat to his name.
When Mr Smeds met Mr. Spats
Mr Spats bought Mr. Smed's hat.
Did you ever hear anything
better than that?

(from memory, with apologies to Mr. Silverstein)

We should let Djinn wear 27 hats and give no hats to Hydra-men. If Linley wanted Hydras to wear hats, they would be wearing them.

Re: 27-head Lernaen Hydra for race

Good idea. Then remove merfolk from the game because hydra move fast in water too so Mf don't add anything.
