[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8152743, member: 2525"] The mechanics don't dictate what you can "say" at all. You can "say" it's a giant man-wasp descended from beavers if you want. But the mechanics LIST IT as "Custom Lineage". That is the name of that race in the mechanics. And I will repeat the challenge because you ignored it earlier: If you are a wizard, who chooses a preacher background, and who picks up medium armor proficiency and proficiency with a mace, and you walk around in a breast plate with a holy symbol emblazoned on it and you hit things with your mace and you choose cleric-like spells and [B]you SAY you're a cleric[/B], CAN YOU TAKE A FEAT WITH SAYS "PRE-REQUISITE: CLERIC"? CAN YOU ATTUNE A MAGIC ITEM WHICH SAYS "ATTUNEMENT BY CLERIC ONLY"? No. You cannot. Because how you describe the character is not what dictates the mechanics. What dictates the mechanics is whether or not mechanically you chose at least one level of Cleric for your class levels. So no. No racial feats for you, no matter how well you describe your background. No soup for you either! [IMG]https://tacanowblog.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/no-soup-for-you.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
