I am hoping to abuse the local users and mine their brains for ideas for me (bwahaha..ha..oh, am I using my outside voice again?).
My new game is going to include astrological signs for everyone born on the mortal world, with 14 astrological signs used in my game. What I need (besides having my head examined - just too damn expensive), is some good ideas for the 'effects' of being born a certain sign. The bonuses should be mild enough that it escapes obvious notice (not all people born in the house of the snake breath fire). So far I have:
+2 sense motive to know when lied to
re-roll fear save 1/day
re-roll compulsion save 1/day
+2 bluff when lying / telling a tall tale
re-roll death save 1/day at -4
gain 1 SP for INT based skill
gain 1 SP for DEX or STR based skill
+1 diplomacy w member of opposite sex
Bound to ebb/flow of moon - modify initiative +2 to -2 depending on moon phase
I know this list isn't too exciting, but characters can spend feats to accentuate their astrological signs. Also, being born a certain sign effects how some magic interacts with different individuals, so the slight mod for your sign is ok as mild.
