A Couple of Racial Feats

[chronoplasm]

Jolly Dwarf
Prerequisite: Dwarf
Benefit: You gain a -2 penalty to Wisdom and a +2 feat bonus to Charisma.
In addition, you may treat alcoholic beverages as Potions of Cure Minor Wounds.


Half Infernal, Half Insane
Prerequisite: Tiefling
Benefit: You take a -2 penalty to Charisma and gain a +2 feat bonus to Constitution.
In addition...

I'm drawing a blank for what other thing that Tiefling feat should do.
Any thoughts?

heheh well isnt that hilarious,
"aura of madness" if you mark your enemy they get -3 on attacks which dont include you? no clue... that is probably too functional and not quite cosmetic enough.

 

[chronoplasm]

It can be functional.

Hmm...

How about...

Bad Blood [Tiefling Racial Feat]

Benefit: You gain a -2 penalty to Charisma and a +2 feat bonus to Constitution.
In addition, you may replace an encounter power you know with the Bad Blood racial power.

What do you think?

Intriguing. Without the rider effects, those ability score adjustments could even work as character backgrounds.

Character backgrounds? I like it!

Dwarf of Jolly Old Stillkeep
Prerequisite: Dwarf
You come from the dwarven stronghold of Stillkeep, known for having the most elaborate breweries in the world. Massive industrial distillation towers are used to process the hardy stoutroot plants into an ocean of alcohol for medicinal, industrial, and recreational purposes.
Dwarves of Stillkeep take a -2 penalty to Wisdom and gain a +2 bonus to Charisma.

Tinker Dwarf
Prerequisite: Dwarf
It takes an army of engineers to keep the rivers of Stillkeep flowing.
Promising young dwarves are sent to special schools where they are trained from a young age in the arts of distillation and mechanics.
Tinker Dwarves take a -2 penalty to Wisdom and gain a +2 bonus to Intelligence.

Perfect!

Now make a bunch for every GSL race, compile them and put them in a fancy layout, then put them up for sale so I can buy it.

having backgrounds that swap out the racial stat bonuses in consistently flavorful ways is very very cool. I have been thinking backgrounds are mildly under fed... this is the kind of thing to step them up to the plate.
