Well...when you change the premise of the original question than of course its original premise is meaningless. Seems to me that they OP just wanted to know if people are picking things based on what they offer in game or what they look like. Once you start splitting hairs and changing definitions anything can become anything else.the point isn't anything being useful in any given encounter, it's the point of if it ever has the capacity to be useful, if it's ever useful then it ceases to exist purely as a narrative ability and failed the premise of the thread, the species' narrative became mechanical impact.
Good luck on your journey.
