Monstrous Appearance – when attempting to use Appearance in a positive way on creatures without the Monster subtype, count it at 10 points lower until the target gets used to you.
Hardy Endurance - Racial trait. Increases stamina gained during level up. Stamina refills faster during rest. Stamina decreases slower during exertion.
Bull Rush - You can charge through obstacles or target pcs/npcs to double your movement (30 feet) This deals 50 hp x Level. If you are stopped by an obstacle or a contest of strength success(contesting athleticism check) then you will be dazed for 2 seconds per 10 feet short of the target distance.
Enrage - Once at half hp you will become enraged dealing triple damage but halving dodge chance.
Toughen Up - You gain a constant passive bonus to Endurance that increases for every combat encounter you both take damage in, and survive.

Authors ramblings:

I hope you enjoyed the teaser, next chapter is all sex and then the big vote, I made the mistake of considering withholding information in a decision for where the story will go (the big decision I briefly showed last spoiler/character chapter). And I realized after posting it that the idea of doing that is stupid, it would just make people angry that they picked wrong through no fault of their own. So expect the full breakdown when the options appear at the end of the next chapter.

Other than that, lots of words about two bodies mashing together and making noises. Not much to say there.

Later on I MAY come back and just add in extra branches of the two other options but I don’t know, it depends how long the story goes on for and whether I run out of inspiration monster energy drinks writing the main branch. Only time will tell I suppose.

Beyond that you might see a chapter or two written in other places not here to get the fetish gear goin. Got some ideas in public stories I really wanna see happen so I'll put one or two chapters elsewhere and see what happens.

As a last mention I won’t update spoilers I make in previous chapters because I personally find it interesting seeing how an author develops and (d)evolves as a story progresses. Minor comments, rough ideas thrown to the wayside, early inklings of what actually happens for a story, just fascinates me. Like a sneak peak on the rough draft.

Anyways, here’s the spoilers.

[SPOILERS]

Alright, so in this arc, the main character gets to feel like a bit of a god figuring out the mechanics and breaking the new system because it’s overpowered and devs never balance anything properly. Like with many examples in real life via World of Warcraft and other games that I probably don’t need to name now, Either a mechanic is dead on arrival, or so broken that it needs to get nerfed... sometimes accidentally into the ground.

So yeah, the big level 15 water drake has a crystal, made his territory within the water with a sea temple alla Legend of Zelda or something. Lots of water nymphs and piranhas and sharks with legs (maybe even sharknado?). So with his head start he gets to play “harass the free xp” from the area.

Because of that the Goblin Village gets attacked by the now motivated water beast, sending our titular future characters straight towards the safety of big dick energy Minotaur.

I’ve fleshed out the options heavily, and followed the same method as the Daedalus fortress, and Pasiphae’s Curse. For those who do a quick search, it’s all stuff tied up in the story of King Mino and the birth of Minotaurs. Now the other options have similar punishments and thematic story lines. Each of them pose a different outlook I have to take for the story progress from the selection on to the end of the 3rd/4th arc, after that I have to determine a few things about our Minotaur of a Lesser standing. You'll have to wait til the end of the next chapter to see the options.

I’m currently trying to decide whether our Minotaur is a human that has died and reincarnated, went all matrix jacked in, or if it was some kind of experiment to create true intelligence in a dying game. Or perhaps just a strange bug that made him seem more human-like alongside all those he directly interacts with.

Regardless of what I go with, it’ll be a fun 5th and 6th arcs.

Beyond that is where I want to take his level ups, what the upper levels look like, and whether to pull inspiration from other d20 and d6 type trpgs, I’ve got a few ideas I might pull from Fantasy Age and Pathfinder but I’m not quite sure how deeply I wanna drag elements from there. Him multi-classing is something I’ll be ruminating on a LOT while doing some in depth research and refreshing myself on the stories for whatever theme we ultimately go with at the end of the next chapter.
