Critter allergy trait - CalliopeSoups - 05-12-2025
Basic trait idea, you get a random critter you're allergic to and receive histamine or something else (possibly unique ones for certain critters) when too close, or more likely on touch. Idea is from Cappan in the RP discord channel!

That's funny, but I feel like it's a bit like the reagent allergy trait, which I'm not much of a fan of. It's too unlikely that you'd run into the reagent/critter that you're allergic to for it to meaningfully impact the game regularly. Which I think makes the trait rather boring.
I think it'd be more fun if it had like whole categories of critters you're allergic to. Like maybe all command pets, or something.

Hi! I'm the guy on discord that suggested this. Something like categories sounds like a good idea. Inorganic critter allergies are also something I'd had in mind but didn't articulate, for things like smaller bots.

Just as uh, precaution, ethereal critters should probably be hypoallergenic to forstall the inevitable "5 spawned roaches from a pest event body one HoS with an allergy" scenario. Funny as that is.

Now that is a scenario which makes me all for this kind of trait.

And they called -me- a monster for suggesting mentor mice should be able to dishonoured-style swarm over people who ask how do I pee.

Yeah no that's perfect.
