[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7594032, member: 6919838"] If someone wants to run a bugbear sized elf maiden with bugbear reach, **and** I allow bugbear racial stat blocks as PC, and it doesnt overtly conflict eith setting, I leave my "power gamer boogeyman in the closet. Really, if I have allowed bugbear stats already as allowable PCs it's because I am ok with that and it's not likely due to their chewbacca looks. My first 5e campaign was Esper Genesis scifi. There your familiar sprll is basically build-a-bot drones. So you hot a friggin checklist of abilities to choose to add in and the appearance is pretty much wide open beyond fitting those traits. One familiar with flyby was a spinning anti-g ring not unlike Xena shakrum. Another was an anti-g flying spider, not unlike replicators from stargate. Others went girl different enhancements and appearances. It was fun, each choosing their own types, even adjusting the look to suit materials on hand. Way too many campaigns in effects driven systems to get my dice all bounced over looks for gun snd distinctiveness. Funny story. When Sam L Jackson played a jedi he got a purple light saber "blade". Itvwasnt because that purple light saber blade got flyby, or blind sight or any other mechanical difference from the other non-purple light sabers did. It wasnt because it showed him as a chief or novice. It wasnt him being a Munchkin. It was cuz his younger daughter, granddaughter whatever thought it was cool he was in star wars and so he asked for a purple saber so she could spot him easily, he stood out.
