Racial attributes/skills

I did it for the Dathomiri. Mostly to see if I could improve the RP value of the people who play Dathomiri in era three. Mando’s have regen. I once considered a verpine communication link, but the coding was not worth the trouble.

So let’s hear it! What kinds of easily coded things can we put in for special races?

Keep in mind that the Dathomiri spells are actually just reworded force skills. -And it turned out to be a little more challenging that I thought so if you suggest something, I think we’ll only add them in as events come up.

Falleen skin colors f’sho.

Edit:

To clarify, Falleen should only be able to choose green, but change their skincolor to red/dark red (maybe determined if they’re green/dark green?) when appropriate. Maybe we could also look at some kind of pheromone ability for them?

Verpine and/or Sluissi should get a bonus to shipbuilding speed.

Feeorin starting out weaker, but gaining stats as the character gets more time played. (With an ending point, of course)

Nm you said easily coded.

Yeah, you’re right about the Sluissi. I just grouped together two engi-specific races that came to my head. Maybe have Sluissi engis make better ships on average or something.

Sluissi could get an additional 5% ship hull boost or something…lol I dunno

I’m not sure how much stuff there counts as &quot;easily coded&quot;, but it’s all stuff that would be awesome <!– s:P –><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_razz.gif" alt="" title="Razz" /><!– s:P –> As far as I’m aware, only the Balosar thing on that list has been implemented so far, so the rest is fair game.

Some of it’s cool, but it isn’t anything that could justify a higher point price like combat-oriented races have.

Anna, did you lose the Google Doc I did on this? I tossed it for forum perusal months after Rojan asked me to compile all the stuff (at least, I think it was Rojan; my memory of a single conversation more than a year ago is fuzzy), and there were additions made there, too. Kora’s link was to that thread.

Yeah, remove regen. Give them natural toughness or something instead.

&quot;Mandalorian&quot; should be a flag, not a race. It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again. You didn’t have to be [i:1n2lz577]born[/i:1n2lz577] Mandalorian to [i:1n2lz577]be[/i:1n2lz577] Mandalorian. They accepted races other than humans into their society and the original Mandalorians weren’t even human.

Here[/url:1n2lz577]’s a nice picture of a couple of Mandalorians.

I like what Kora said. Mando flag. And make it give you damage resistance.

draethos had a short ranged telepathy of 5 meters, which they could speak to anyone with. perhaps a telepathy for them, such as a farspeak to anyone in the room type of thing. It would have to be kept short range though, or it would get out of hand imo.

Give a dashade a bit of a force resistance, just mild if it were possible. they are said to be semi force-resistant, as well as resistant to radiation.

Give kaleesh night vision. they are said to be able to see in the dark, because of &quot;Thermal Pits&quot; under their eyes.

may be a bit far fetched but let a noghri track through site. they are said to be able to smell bloodlines, so it would only make sense if they could track better than most. perhaps make it so that players leave underlying bloodtrails that only noghri can see, and they go away after a player gets out of range by a certain amount of rooms, and then the noghri actually have to use a track skill like everyone else.

I’ll add more as i find them, I just generally looked at a few races that i liked in lotj and suggested stuff.
