Message: <blockquote data-quote="Aldarc" data-source="post: 9577727" data-attributes="member: 5142">Quoting myself here for context: But this homebrew project is coming along slowly. I think that I have settled on my core group of kin: <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Human: a monkeyfolk kin that somehow survives </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Bugling: the alien insectoid kin a bit like thri-kreen </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Leorin: lionfolk, <a href="https://thundarr.fandom.com/wiki/Moks" target="_blank">mok</a>, wookie sort of furry bestial kin </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Newt: your reptile-like amphibian or amphibian-like reptile kin </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Shrooman: weird, short mushroom people </li> </ul>However, I am taking a slightly different approach to them from the core rules. Most of these kin will get to choose their starting ability from a small list of kin-based abilities. Then when the PC gets a heroic ability, they can alternatively choose to take another kin-based heroic ability. The bugling, for example, can choose at character creation between Carapace (spend up to 3 WP for armor), Four-Armed (pick things up from ground or inventory without an action), Tough (see Orcs), and Wings (see Karkions). With humans, I am probably swapping out the standard Adaptive, for an alternate ability that I saw in another homebrew called Tenacious; however, I am renaming it to 'Perseverance.' The gist of the ability is that humans can activate the ability for a boon on their pushed rolls. I prefer this as it gives a sense of humanity's desire to survive in this world and to push on despite all of their hardships. At this point, I don't have any alternative or further kin abilities for humans.</blockquote>
