For instance, unless one of the four founders of the town was a kobold, there's no real reason for a kobold raised in this village to have any desire to worship Kurtulmak, any enmity towards gnomes, or any predisposition towards Lawful Evil. Similar arguments could be made about certain traits like skill bonuses (a halfling's Move Silently bonus might be from soft feet, but a half-elf's Diplomacy bonus is said to come from their desire to mediate between their two halves.)Did the founders have biological children? There might be a class distinction, even a subtle or subconscious one, between the foundlings and the born.You absolutely need a snake with a human head. You can't just throw that into your blurb and then forget about it! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />As for characters, I give you Dioo:Dioo isn't like the other kids. He knows that. For one, the other kids have bodies with arms and legs. Dioo doesn't have a body like that. He's big and round. Other kids walk from here to there. Dioo doesn't walk; he flies. Other kids have a couple of eyes looking forward. Dioo only has one big eye looking forward, but he has a bunch of other little ones that can look all over. He's not all that good at catch and stuff, but he still likes to play with the other kids. The founders told him once that he'll get real powerful later, but right now he's just like the other kids. Kinda.Yes, Dioo is a young beholder. But he doesn't know that. He just knows he's Dioo.</blockquote>
