Peculiarities Master List
Added 2017-11-12 15:31:13 +0000 UTCThis thing, oof, this thing. It's the list most used and probably the list most loved. I have never had a player who hasn't rolled the maximum number of possible times on it. We work around the holes.
The way we do it is every new character is permitted to roll D666 on the list up to three times. No take-backs, but you can stop rolling. The idea is that this replaces the need to make a hundred planetouched races, or to have weirdly uniform tieflings, or to have to classify mutations by who your dad was.
On top of the mutations it also has interesting items and followers for the players to mess with. Some of them are useful, even powerful, but most are just interesting enough to illicit questions ("Why do you wear that stupid hat?") the party can play with and riff off of if they want.
The whole thing has proven to be a huge source of juicy entertainment and hassle free character background building.
