[QUOTE="Ferrix, post: 1251243, member: 6115"] I will agree and disagree with the statement that alterations to a body make it more ugly. I could easily see how ridges along a characters brow could make the character look more noble (built in crown), a golden hue to the skin, all of these could be seen as aesthetically pleasing while at the same time differentiating the character. The character may become less natural in a sense and be regarded with a sense of awe or fear depending upon how NPC's react to such things. A character with a vow of poverty could in a sense receive gifts that are not items, permanent magical enchantments upon their body from divine sources, the gain of celestial qualities (transformation), and so on. I could see these coming out as Exalted Feats persay that are rewarded by the DM or chosen by the player depending upon their balance upon game play. Basic example: Timbre of the Angelic [Exalted] Your voice resonates with the celestial chorus. Pre-requisites: Cha 17+, Lvl 5, Bardic Song ability Benefit: You may use a use bardic song to create the equivalent of a circle of protection evil 15' which lasts for as long as you continue to sing and 3 rounds after you stop. or Mark of (some god of light) [Exalted] You were imparted with the gift of god's name and have received a third eye, which when it opens reveals a holy light. Pre-requisities: blah blah blah Benefit: When you allow the eye to open you are surrounded by daylight as per the spell. In addition, any evil creature within the radius of the light receives a -1 penalty to strike at you due to the holy radiance emanating from the eye. These are examples, not meant to be balanced nor very specific just rough ideas. Carry on... i like the idea mind you. [/QUOTE]
