Message: <blockquote data-quote="Bendris Noulg" data-source="post: 1289669" data-attributes="member: 6398">That is true, although that is currently how it stands in the Core Rules (I'm always got my eye out for an improvement, of course).  Of course, the Core Rules also indicate that someone with a strong, charismatic persona is also a better juggler, so go figure. (Did that change it 3.5...  Books not with me...) Actually, no.  Not having any cosmetics, there's no call for a Disguise check at all.  I might call for a Bluff check to convince the orcs that the character is a deranged, decadent elf with bad manners. Good point.  Not being a Spears fan and not following the media of fandome, I had to do a little searching to see that you are correct.  At the same time, it is her Appearance and stardome, not her force of personality, that seems to make her an idol for many teen girls (and an unmentionable fantasy for teen boys). Got a point there... I'll consider this and take it to my players. Which, of course, fairly matches the Core Rules and several published settings...  It seems that only Humans can produce multiple cultures without undergoing a serious change in physiology and psychology for their troubles (although, admittedly, Sovereign Stone and Nyambe both offer a number of divergent Human subraces).  The BoEF generally had to stick to the generalized Core standards in that regard, for 2 primary reasons: (1) Every cultural reference available in the d20 industry is PI which they can't make references to without permission/licensing and (2) they don't have their own setting to make such references to.  Of course, if they did have their own setting and made references to it, or made references (with permission) to other settings, the information would be generally unused by the main body of readers (useful mostly to those playing those settings and to those inspired by what they've read).  In that regard, they did what they had to do, which is fine.  I'm sure we'll see addendums to the BoEF in any future setting-based material VP releases (if any, can only hope), and other companies are free to make addendums to their settings applying the OGC material (which we may or may not see, again, can only hope). Yep, which is one of the reasons I kept the Option rules for Subabilities, because Appearance and Leadership did indeed make such a seperation (I renamed Leadership to Magnetism to avoid confusion with one's 3E/d20 Leadership score...  I also renamed Balance to Agility to avoid confusion with the Skill, but that's another discussion).</blockquote>
