Put simply, I hate the way a lot of subraces which 'Change Appearance" look. I enjoy crafting my armor. I don't relish the idea of playing a centaur-cockroach (Stinger), a drugged out homeless humanoid elephant (Mael), or a translucent ghost that can't even display the weapons he's using (Wraith). Would it be possible to get a quest placed in game to allow players a one-time chance to revert their characters to the appearance of their base race, similar to what Genie has now?

It's actually possible now, but unlikely to happen. Size is linked to appearance.

I am aware that some races would lose their size - stinger, pixie, treant, mael come to mind off hand. This would be something that a player would have to choose for those races. Min/maxers can't have it all, and neither could picky people like myself. If you wanted to be large/tiny, you'd have to stick with the appearance.

No, you misunderstand. The races are balanced with a particular size in mind. Giving players the option to select another would not happen (we only did it with Genie because we deemed it noncritical in that case). We can now set size on appearance thanks to an engine hack, but doing that just for aesthetics is pretty low priority.

Funky In Light of this would you consider a LL Feat to increase the size of your character by 1 or decrease by one? the reqs would have to be quite phenominal something like 40 base STR imp power attack great cleave Bullheaded Disc of 50 Con of 24 And for shrinking 40 base Dex Dodge mobility spring attack lightning reflexes tumble of 50 int of 20
Just to give the option I would enjoy my hallfign as a tiny sized for the +4 AC and Xtra hide/MS with the changing status's likewise a Huge Stinger provides double Greatswords and double scythes along with extremely strong KD attempts.

"I have walked among the unclean, and lo, I am soiled." I guess you have to set your priorities.
Wait..What if I held Acaos hostage until my demands were met? ^_-
On second thought, I think that would launch a counterterrorist force of half the HG players. Bad idea.

How about prodigy spellcaster? lol Sure, if we bring in 3.5 style spell foci too (+1 to DCs rather than +2). (Note: that means 'no, it's not happening'. There are no plans to change spell focus feats. All monster saves are balanced around existing DCs and changing them would be an insane amount of work.) Acaos |
