[QUOTE="CleanCutRogue, post: 3611395, member: 51922"] Plant life form... someone should make one, and here are some ideas off the cuff... 1. Plants would move slowly. If basically humanoid, they might be normal human-speed (m/turn), but their long-distance moving ("kph") rate might be somewhat less. 2. Attribute modifiers could be literally anything to stylize the race as desired. A willow-tree-like race might be strong, certain plantlife might be flexible, etc. 3. No need for traditional food or sleep, but may need to root self in soil now and then. Doesn't drink conventionally... perhaps has to submerse appendages in water and draw it into itself! 4. Requires sunlight regularly or attributes suffer? (maybe a -5 per day of no sunlight access, accumulated until reach -25, nullified by spending at least three hours in direct sun). Unless fungal :-P 5. Regeneration? I don't think any other race has this ability. Perhaps dependent on proximity to sunlight. 6. Bark-covered aliens would have natural armor. Maybe treat as having a 50-point skeinsuit on at all times that regenerates at a rate of 2 points per day. If someone wants to make it, I'll try to get one of the webzine illustrators to draw a unique pic of it!! [/QUOTE]
