Inheritable trait templates
« on: March 21, 2011, 09:22:59 am »
I was thinking recently, and got an idea.

More or less, it amounts to inheritable trait templates.

Basically, you take certain traits, like skin colour or hair colour, and define whether they're reccessive, dominant, and if dominant 'how' dominant (a numerical value.). This would allow for more variation and surprises, and get rid of that whole 'everyone having the same skin, eye, and hair colour' problem we have now. (I know of the other way to do it, but I'm too lazy to go through all the creature raws like that.)

In essence, it would be in the same vein as body plans or tissue templates.
