What about a Naga/Yuan Ti for our solid form? Both are snake like and have arms.

why didn't anyone think about bloodshaping an LMG (light machine gun)?

So Slog is dead and Yaos is missing. My god, I understand being a jaded adventurer, but at this point Ciro is acting almost entirely inhuman. Can we get some actual reaction? Or is she just REALLY excited for those items we had before?

Place Bloodshape and Slime Essence into Skill Tree
Become a slime mage!
...I mean really, we'd basically still be able to make whatever we wanted.

Wait, we didn't get to loot the boss? But they always have the best gear! Nooooooooo :<

Lets keep figura between us and the watcher while we talk to it, since the only other gold, male and robed figure we have met so far flattened us.

looking at our inventory, what happened to that fancy sweater we made? Did it get vanished into nothing in our sleep?

... what were we dreaming of that made us get rid of our clothing unconsiously?

After all, one of the authoritative descriptions was that dwarves are "strange creatures who balance out at 'happy' because on one hand their wife was eaten by elephants and on the other they just ate in a REALLY NICE dining room."

Yes yes I realize that this topic is a year old, but one of the best ways to stop a topic from having multiple threads devoted to it is to keep it near the top. This is something that many people will be interested in and I see it as something that newcomers(like my self should have easy access to. To take some of the sting away, I'll add a little of my cynicism to it.

While a complex psychological system is desirable, you need to be careful to not have to many interconnected complex systems or else we'll run into to a simple set of realities: chaos is the predominate force in the universe and in the end everything returns to nothing. Any system that is added to the game needs to be kept to manageable levels of chaos that let people feel like they're in control. The current suggestions in the thread are not just a good starting point, they are also near the limit of what most people could handle giving all of the other existing and planned factors in the game. Of course, horror really needs to be more broadly setup as fear so that we can have a proper, easy to follow scale from "this creeps me out" to "Oh dear God, we're all going to die!!! Such a thing has of course been discussed and fear and morale systems are planned as well as better handling joy/sorrow.

Oh yeah I almost forgot. We's be needs'n da' real Gnomies so's we's can have some REAL havoc in the world. Oh and no thief is feared like a sticky fingered Halfling, especial if they have an enchanted ruby......

Overdone and unneeded. Call me a heathen, but there is non-Tolkienian/Gygaxian fantasy in the world.

And, yeah, the psych system needs work, but it needs to be overhauled, not fiddled. Anything else is just a half-fix, and Toady doesn't halfway fix his (alpha) game anymore than you would jump halfway across a ditch.
