I'm new here, but I have been following this thread for a while, so here are my ideas. If they are taken, then tell me. 1000 should be the best thing ever
971 | Keep your friends close... | Kind of similar to Good Eats and Mal Appétit. You bond very well with your comrades; maybe too well. You always wonder things about your friends: especially what their raw flesh tastes like. When not doing anything, your head and eyes turn to your closest ally and you start drooling. They *normally* don't notice but they gradually get more suspicious of you, while you get more hungry for them. Unless you are of Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil, you never actually lunge to take a bite out of them. Enemies don't really appeal to you
972 | ...But everyone else closer | Very similar to above, but instead of your allies, it is any NPC you come across, foe or neutral. Any enemy you kill you immediately hurry towards the dead body and start gorging yourself (if there are no other enemies in sight) or placing his meat in some storage that you carry (if there are other enemies). You occasionally blank out and stand/sit there, staring at an NPC (e.g. tavern customers, shopkeepers), licking your lips.
973 | Talk to the hand | One of your arms and hands (same side) is replaced by a long skin coloured tentacle. If you stood with your arms down, it would reach the floor (just about). At the end of this tentacle is a small circular mouth with jagged triangular teeth with a long tongue which comes out. This mouth is surrounded by 2d4 small tentacles which act as your 'fingers'. Your normal mouth is useless, as you talk and eat through your hand-mouth. Your aesophagus and trachea go through this arm, so squeezing it may not be the greatest idea. You also have a small slit through the back of your neck, large enough so you could technically stick your tongue through there and speak normally through your normal mouth, but why bother? Gripping things is still the same.
974 | Talk to both hands | Similar to the one above, but instead of a tentacle and 'hand' on one side you just have normal arms on both sides and 'hands' on both sides instead of your normal hands. You can talk, smell and eat through both hands, but the slit in your neck is no longer there. Neither is your normal mouth and nose, for that matter. However, germs can enter through the mouth in your hand when you rest it on something, so you get ill more often. As a result of this, your immune system is extremely powerful, lessening the severity of pathogen-based attacks.
975 | Shift-Sneeze | Occasionally, you feel an urge. Something is crawling underneath your skin. You need to let it out. You feel deep discomfort. It's like when you can't sneeze. Suddenly your body spasms for a second and - poof! - Your entire bottom half is a spider. This happens randomly once per day. The thing you transform into can be anything from this list or half of a creature. Poof! - You are now a Lamia!
976 | Which Head | You suffer from multiple personality disorder so bad it's as if you have multiple heads. This is because you do. Out of your neck come 2d6 snake heads. One is you and the others are different people with different personalities, a bit like a Yuan-Ti Anathema. They all like to talk and argue, but they don't normally talk when you are trying to say something important. They hiss at each other and at enemies.
977 | Haven't mastered the art of digestion | Your digestive system is all over the place. Your small intestine is translucent, and goes all over your body, in and out of holes. People can see the food being digested through one of these pipes, making you look a bit like some sort of steampunk cyborg. However, there is a gap. There is a hole in your skin under your ribcage and also one in your hand. To digest food, you must put your hand to this hole to allow the digesting food to flow through. If you don't it builds up right by the hole and causes severe discomfort. There is some sort of magic shield to stop the food falling out.
978 | Hybrid | Your mother was a half-creature. You inherited this trait. As a result, you choose 1d3 (they exist; but if you don't have one, use a d4) features from this list that are like that creature or you can use a die to decide:
Snake features
Lower Half - Snake legs
Head - Snake head
Hair - Hair like a gorgon
Arms - 1 or 2 snakes instead of arms
Flexible Torso
Patches of scales
Patterned Skin
Infrared vision
Spider features
Lower Half
Head
Hair
Arms
Extra Eyes
Chitin Exoskeleton
And other features for other creatures (i.e. birds, scorpions, cats etc.) that I can't be bothered to write
979 | Talk to the crotch | Your entire lower half and arms are replaced with 2d6 leg length tentacles sprouting out of a single point, which is comprised of a circular mouth, jagged teeth and an extremely long prehensile tongue. This mouth is either at the front, back or bottom of the body. The tentacles act as your legs and arms, meaning you could use all of them to walk, all of them as arms or half and half. You are already confident enough to walk with them as if they were normal legs without any loss of balance unless you weren't born that way and only changed like it recently. Even more experienced of these tiefling can use these as a snakelike lower body and slither along. At a high level, you can split the ends of the tentacles to form the 'hands' mentioned earlier at the tips (without the mouths). The mouth acts as your real mouth, but you can talk through your head mouth by sticking your long tongue through a small passage from the inside of the mouth to the head and using that tongue and your head mouth to talk. However, you must eat through your real mouth. Your torso is very flexible as well. An uncommon mutation that you could apply to your character is that your whole head is fake and just for show, so as not to freak people out. Your ears are built in to the tentacles, your eyes are at the tips but they don't stick out so they aren't vulnerable and your nose is also built in. Overall it doesn't affect gameplay or gripping items but you do look quite strange if you don't hide it. Some have been able to hide it all except for the fact that the arms have no hands, while others just don't pretend they are normal and walk in the way that feels natural.
That's it for now. I'm glad to see this thread isn't dead so close to 1000. By the way, are we going to close the thread once we reach 1000 or are we allowing more suggestions past the 1000 mark?
