Demigod Revamp (GASP!)
What if Demigod weren't a race? What if it were handled like a "god"? It If you want to start as a Demigod, then you will start as a Demigod Human. (Please, read on!)
Currently, Demigods are essentially the Human stats, aptitudes, and attribute progression as a Human only -1 to most aptitudes, double the attribute progression, and IIRC almost double the starting stats.
What if any race (or most) could be a Demigod? Here is how I envision it:
There's a 25% chance that an expiring "divine portal" occurs D:1-5. When you pray at it, there's a divine being that asks if you want to accept your divine heritage. "You acknowledge your divine heritage." Here's what happens if you do:
- You must abandon any god you've chosen and the ability to follow any thereafter.
You lose 1-2 XL. (coin flip)
+2 to Str, Int, Dex
Gain a random attribute every 2nd XL, weighted by starting attribute distribution, so that casters are more likely to gain Int, and so on.
All aptitudes -1
Gain an additional 10% MP
Gain an additional 10% HP
No Piety, since you answer only to yourself! (Thanks, klink)
Please criticize as harshly yet as constructively as possible. I hope to at least play with an experimental branch!
