+1 Prestige Point for Lithmorrans
Posted: Tue Jul 30, 2019 1:47 pm
As code now distinguishes the "savage" regions with a prestige penalty, I believe it would be prudent and thematically sound to give Lithmorran characters a bonus point to signify their superior origins.
In my experience, the perks of playing a foreign-blooded character tend to outweigh RPing the "stock" race and furthermore, I believe most players are fairly uncomfortable promoting racism even in a game. This leads to fewer reasonable, built-in challenges for characters who are, by the game's theme, considered inferior. So I think giving Lithmorrans this default social boost is a painless way of promoting their top dog status without taking away from the appeal of any other region.
