Perhaps I can do something similar to Ultima. You are always the Avatar, but you can pick certain professions to start out as which confer certain benefits. Also, in Arcanum, the player can pick certain traits that effect their character at creation.
Perhaps I can add in traits like "Magic Adept", "Faithful", "Acrobatic", "Thick Skinned", "Bulky", "Silent", or "Jack of All Trades" to name a few. These could give the player certain benefits and disadvantages and perhaps confer some special abilities. |
