DaleDavis67 Posted February 14, 2023 Share Posted February 14, 2023 Looking through the Human choices during character creation and noticed some of the ones mentioned did not have Trait Blocks listed. I would like to play a Cimmerian and looking for guidance beyond the Generic Trait Block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKayRulez Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 Interesting idea with the whole different gods to pick from influencing things. That's cool. Though I do have to say the whole "Gift" not only giving advantage to two kinds of checks but also apparently seemingly with no restrictions is a lot and comes across as overpowered and better than the other races. Basic Human does have advantage on two checks (Persuasion and Deception) but it's specifically for when there's first contact that haven't met visitors from another world. Maybe you meant as included through the base guidelines and just didn't say it. Idk. But your idea does add a nice flavor element. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I intentionally left off the restriction as Humans from Cimmeria, or Humans not mentioned in Racial Origins on page 41 of the rules, do not have access to those specific Origins which do offer some significant advantages. I hope the game is successful enough where the company can come out with additional supplements to flesh-out Humans from other planets. Thanks for the feedback!

McKayRulez Posted February 15, 2023 Share Posted February 15, 2023 (edited) I don't think most of the Ratcial Origins of the other races are as significant an advantage as two checks having full complete adv with no restrictions, but whatever, it's your thing. You do you. Anyways, on another note, if you wanted some race specific equipment ideas, the old Stargate Roleplay had a thing called Mjolnir pendants, which were pendants that the Asgard gave humans such as the Cimmeria to repel Goa'uld so they couldn't be taken as hosts.

DaleDavis67 Posted February 15, 2023 Author Share Posted February 15, 2023 Thanks again. This got me thinking. What about something like this added to each gift wording? "checks in circumstances where Goa’uld themselves, Goa’uld technology, or servants of Goa’uld are involved." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
