[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 8168307, member: 7006"] If we're talking just customizing how your character looks while maintaining your identity as a specific race... you can do whatever the heck you want. You can invent being "cursed" in your background to now look like a different race if you want. You can have a mixed-race ancestor that has produced you looking like one race while having the stats of another. Heck... I believe in [I]Hoard of the Dragon Queen[/I] there is a background Bond that new PCs can select that says you are actually a [B]dragon[/B] that has been stuck in humanoid form: [SIZE=2]10. You have a secret. You once were a gold dragon who served Bahamut. You were too proud and vain, to the point that Bahamut decided to teach you a lesson. You have been trapped in a weak, humanoid body, with your memories of your former life but a dim shadow. You remember only one thing with perfect clarity: Bahamut’s command to go into the world and prove your devotion to the cause of good. If you prove worthy, on your death you will return to his side in your true form.[/SIZE] I mean if the game itself allows you to basically state for your character you are really a dragon... you can pretty much say whatever you want about yourself. So long as the mechanics are run as-is. [/QUOTE]
