Re: Dark Gate OOC Thread
Just a few notes re. the mechanical bits of that concept (I'm not really for or against it, honestly, as while I'm fond of wolfgirls and wolfboys I kinda feel like most of this sort of thing can be handled with part demon):
The stats and talent bonuses aren't 1:1 balanced, which thus far has been a requirement for DG races. You have 18 XP points of added boosts (+8 body, +2 spirit, Perceptive account to +8, +2, +8) and 40 points of penalties (Mutated, Easily Aroused, Sensitive, Fertile/Infertile, and a gender-specific Fetish account to -8, -8, -8, -8, -8). Racial succubus powers and mutations don't count toward this based on precedent, so I'm assuming racial skills don't either. Your best bet would probably be to drop the 2 spirit and 3 of the flaws. But you could also increase some stats to better match up with the flaw points, if that's more your bag.
It's also bit odd that the fetishes diverge between males and females, since the female one could be applicable for either (and, like with Su-Ku-Ta's beast fetish you can kinda draw your own conclusion as to why a race of wolfpeople likes doing things doggy style) and the male one seems oddly specific without any information given in the racial description as to why an entire race's males (and only males) has become obsessed with the boobage.
Also, it suddenly occurs to me (because it also occurred to me on this suggestion) that the way the Su-Ku-Ta race blurb is worded now a player could technically make a Su-Ku-Ta that had no cat-like features to speak of since all the mutations are optional. Kinda feel like maybe the tails and funny ears should be a prerequisite (which is actually something I would recommend for this suggestion as well if the su-ku-ta entry goes that way).
Finally, no mutations to allow for knots? C'mon, man. I mean... c'mon.
