What if you could also select the race of your character, visually this would only change color, and also by race I mean like elf, dwarf, human, orc etc. depending on the race you select will give you a bonus for damage or speed etc, depending on the weapon you have. for instance humans will attack quicker with spears and deal more damage with shields…(it wouldn’t have to be those weapons for humans just picking random here) elves would deal more damage with ranged weapons and be faster with the exotic weapons, like the katana and sai. Certain enchantments would also be slightly better too depending on race blazing would be slightly better for humans luck slightly better for elves. Different races would also be able to identify the weapons they are better with slightly quicker and weapons they aren’t slower… these bonuses wouldn’t be crazy either like a damage bonus would be like +2-6% that slightly increases when you level up or gain strength plus they are almost rng dependent since you aren’t guaranteed any weapon other than the one you start with and also randomly each run you would have a “favorite weapon” depending on your race that would essentially have the same bonuses as mentioned before but slightly more finally each race would benefit from certain potions/scrolls slightly better for instance elves would get an extra turn/turns of speed if they drank a haste potion dwarfs could gain more defense from potions that give that orcs could take less damage from the scroll of retribution a friend of mine suggested that randomly depending on the race you picked, you can get a slight bonus for one of your class abilities, like you randomly decided to pick elf wizard so as a result, you get a slightly extra percentage bonus for one of the battle mage abilities I think they shouldn’t have anything to do the class abilities but they could I kinda makes sense an elf that decided to be a sharpshooter gets a slight bonus but at the same time an dwarf wizard with class bonus’s doesn’t make as much sense… anyway just an idea I’ve had for a bit what do y’all think slightly cool? Downright stupid?

    Sounds somewhat like a more tame (effects wise) version of the trinkets system Evan is working on atm

    Other than that, I feel like it’s unnecessary complexity
