The DM expresses those in the setting, but consistency might not be the only thing that matters, aesthetics can matter too, just like the player was not happy with being a tortle in all but the visual.and that one creature happens to be a tortle, so there are no longer no tortlessee above, it is about preferences, and if the player can draw the line at ‘it also has to look like a tortle’, the DM can draw it at ‘but it cannot look like a tortle’.What you see as setting consistency and what does / does not violate it need not be how everyone else sees it. Aesthetics can be part of thatis a tortle that has tortle stats but looks like a lizardman still a tortle? Are lizardman stats in a tortle body a tortle?Is at least one of them acceptable to the player and GM? So far the answer is yes for the GM and no for the player…</blockquote>
