Yes, they could be warm blooded, could be slow or fast breeders, and they could be conquerors. I wouldn't expect them to be vegetarians - it there are vegetarian varieties, they'd probably have dull teeth? |

In original TFT, one reptile man PC was tried. He was indeed very powerful for a starting character, but in using that power in human lands, he also was seen by everyone as a monster... game over. Sort of the reverse of the "suicidal to do anything else" notion. Mine doesn't have an established population of reptile men at all. There are only a few visitors and fewer who live there. The nearest reptile man nation is IIRC a few maps the size of the Dran map distant. |

Carrying the "equal starting points" to its natural extreme -- all starting Dragon characters must be 32-points...

We didn't have any gargoyle, giant or centaur PCs, nor did those races usually show up in most human civilized places. Players could have tried, but there would be quite a few social, practical, and reputation/identification logical consequences. Also tactical consequences... a conspicuous most-threatening member of a group tends to get targeted with prejudice by the other side. Polearm users (original rules so double damage charges and no "straight line" requirements) and wizards also had short life expectancy because of this, unless they were careful and/or tough. |

Re: Reptile Men aren't necessarily going to be overlords
LOL! yeah wizards we often called 'arrow magnets' :)
well it does sound like you guys had a different approach to the big races .. we not only used em lots, but even had garg and giants be fully paid up wizards guild members in good standing :) yeah I know, they were on the dumb side for wizards, cant say they were optimum builds lol .. but they were fun :) and we also took the phrase in the gargoyle description 'hunting and eating rocks' to mean they hunted .. rocks we also played it that they thought of gemstones as similar to candy, so you did NOT let them carry the loot lol Last edited by mark hill; 04-21-2019 at 11:22 AM. |
