Races and Astralogy

[JDR388]

I like some of the bonuses you described in your other thread but I think some of them are simply far to powerful to compete against some of the others.

Really what you should stick to when trying to design these sorts of things are abilities that are somewhat difficult to weigh against one another in terms of usefulness. I think the Libra idea is great, so is the full stomach passive bonus. However stuff like Mighty Stikes or Manafont as you had outlined in your other document would have a difficult time competing with some of the weaker and , frankly, more interesting abilities.

Anything that grants an absolute direct bonus to combat, or any choice that excludes DOW/DOM abilities for DOH/DOL stuff should probably be avoided as you may unintentionally create a defacto system where there is no real choice in terms of customizing our characters, and choosing our race and guardian in the eyes of the community.

yeah honestly most of those abilites in the other thread I wouldn't do just because the current state of the game. I'm looking to make an update on that thread so its more relevent to modern eorzea.

I will carefully consider what I make because I know this community is full of the worlds nastyest expoiters. Gotta make the choice tough.

Oh and our nameday too I want a birthday dammit :O
