Self-Mutilation Powers

[pawsplay]

Thinking about dragons and their breaths and gnomes and their invisibility has gotten me thinking... doesn't 4e create a perverse incentive to occasionally attack yourself?

I'd say no more to the amount that people mutilate themselves for adrenaline, endorphines, etc.

It's been brought up several times.

There are a lot of possibilities for masochistic powers, classes, and magical items.

I plan on doing something with the idea at some point.

I really really like the idea of someone producing a deadly blood sword or something by ripping into their own veins.

Definitely NOT for everyone though.

Shadar-khai or whatever they're called would fit it perfectly.

I think it's more like a self defense mechanism, like those lizards whose tails can detach with the slightest bit of turbulence.
