my trait ideas by bluespace

Post by Bluespace » #389314

hello everyone!
some traits my mind did a think of

Great reflexes: you catch stuff thrown at you automatically
Batter up: you throw stuff harder and faster
Chef deluxe: all food created by you is perfect
Trendy: you spawn with an assortment of clothing items in your backpack
Immune: you’re more resistant to disease, and viruses advance slow on you
Artist: spawn with a crayon and spray can
Surefooted: you have a 25% chance not to slip on water
Kind: you receive massive positive mood boosts from helping others
Green thumb: spawn with random seeds
Evil: gain massive mood boost from hurting people
Hotblooded: the cold doesn’t affect you as quick, but you burn up fast
Cold blooded: swap the above
Hemowhateverthefuckitscalled: you can’t stop bleeding until you have 0 brute damage, and your bleeding starts at 10 brute
Insane: you constantly hallucinate, GOTTA GET A GRIP
Sickly: a polite smile from the virologist is enough to get you sneezing
Weak muscles: you can’t duel wield anything, no fire axes for you
Rage: on occasion you are struck by blind rage, wounding those near you
Heathen: the gods will not receive your prayers, and holy weapons are lethal to you
Hunted: you’re hunted by a blood demon, every now and then you’ll be pulled into the blood realm for a few seconds, causing slight brute
Magical being: 50% chance to cast blink, 50% chance to thunderbolt yourself every few minutes
Tourettes: FUCK YOU OFFICER YOU STUPID CUNT, uncontrollable and picks from mobs around you
Dumb: you can’t do surgery, ever.
Possessed: you randomly slam into walls as if thrown
Hellbeing: there’s a slight chance you just burst into flame randomly throughout the shift
Psychopath: killing someone makes you 100% mood, and causes laughing randomly
Asthma: running for long periods of time causes you to collapse for a few seconds

I tried to make them non-powergamey

The only one of these that seems okay is artist, all the others really just award random violence. Mostly ones like Psychopath and Evil

psychopath and tourettes have absolutely 0 downsides though
weak muscles seems situational as fuck
it's called hemophilia, i think
this is not how being cold-blooded works, t. lizard
why does evil exist when psychopath also exists
does green thumb let you spawn with gatfruit seeds? if yes, why, and if no, what's the point of taking it?
how the hell are you gonna get kind to work
and why would anyone want to choose trendy or artist

I’d take trendy and artist, gotta get my fashion station on.
Evil and psychopath do kind overlap, yeah.
Idk about gatfruit, maybe a 1/1000 thing?
Cold/hot blooded are placeholder names.
Tourettes would get you gagged, and psychopath gives you uncontrollable laughter, which could be suspicious.
Kind would reward you for healing people helping them up etc

kind actually incentivises you to knock people down or hurt them so you can get a mood boost by helping them
it's even worse if it isn't mutually exclusive with evil or psychopath
