 September 12, 2010 - 3:37pm | Yep, I've finally lost my mind I fear. Was up waaaaaay too late last night working on new races to incorporate into my campaign, and conjured up THIS one: DROWlasites! Sort of an anti-Dralasite player or non-player character. If you go to my SF site, then to the 'new alien races' link, I think you'll agree that my Happy Meal is missing the toy and perhaps a few of the fries too.

September 22, 2010 - 10:05pm | And just think; it took that Dralasite 5 minutes to grow that finger too! He somehow knew he'd be pissed 50 turns later! My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |

 September 23, 2010 - 6:46am | Which bring up; anyone allow drals to shape faster? I've been toying with an Origins table for each race and one of my entries is allowing faster shape changes. |
 September 23, 2010 - 10:06am | Nope. I've always stuck to the 5 minute rule. They're flexible but it takes work. The way I see it, with no internal structural frame, if they were more fluid, they'd just be a pile of jelly on the floor. The slow shape shifting is just a concequense of the fact that they are composed internally of a very viscous and stiff material that allows them to hold shape at all. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

 September 23, 2010 - 10:33am | ... they are composed internally of a very viscous and stiff material that allows them to hold shape at all. Yup!! This is why when you poke a hole in one it doesn't just squirt out in a stream. And hence their bodies can coagulate at the breach and heal.-iggy |
September 23, 2010 - 10:48am | Human - I've been wounded mate! Dralasite - I've been breached! Vrusk - I've been, oh. It bounced off. |
September 23, 2010 - 11:07am | But when a Vrusk does get cracked I'd say that they do bleed more than the other races. But not a squirting stream or anything like that. -iggy |
 September 23, 2010 - 3:23pm | Is.. is Shadow's dralasite image flipping me off???? Not you, specifically...he hates everyone.  My dral characters tend to the variety of rude, lewd, crude, piece of pre-chewed food kind of dude. For example, here's my most recent dralasite that I was portraying at Jedion's "Warriors of White Light 2" game (which is still ongoing, I just haven't been able to participate being between PCs lately). Being new to White Light, he was quick to catch on to the insulting nature of Clarion's alter-namesake and painted a catchy slogan onto his CRM armor to "casually" let others know as he was inspecting their craft: And just think; it took that Dralasite 5 minutes to grow that finger too! He somehow knew he'd be pissed 50 turns later! Obviously you've never had to wait ten minutes to receive those damned drinks! |
September 23, 2010 - 7:43pm | I like it but looks like his mouth is stitched.  |
September 23, 2010 - 11:17pm | @Shadow Shack: yeah, 5 minutes waiting for a drink would certainly rate a bold finger, but I usually don't wait that extra minute. btw the way, that Dral pic rocks! @wOOt: lol Vrusk rule! @TerlObar: Agreed. But a question pops into me noggin then. If the Dral's body takes time to change shape because of its thicker density, would they still suffer damage from let's say, being constricted by a large snake? Reason I'm asking is because in the writeup I have for the Za'tet race (snakemen), I state that Dralasites cannot be harmed by the Za'tet's constriction ability. Was thinking 'no bones/no damage'. I'm not so sure now. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
September 24, 2010 - 7:14am | Za'tet could still crush the organs inside a dralasite. :-) |
September 24, 2010 - 9:43am | The crushing would happen after the minimum Dralasite thickness is reached. I remember reading the minimum thickness somewhere. -iggy |
September 24, 2010 - 8:02pm | So then you're all saying that a Dralasite, and even the awesomely kewl wicked and most styling Drowlasites would take full damage from a Za'tet constriction. I'll change that section on me website then. My SF website izz: http://ragnarr.webs.com |
