Editing Mass: the Effecting/You Were Born For This (section)

==Species==


In Mass: The Effecting, your character's species does not restrict you to particular attribute or skill maximums or minimums, and nor does it compel you to pick specific species merits. We offer a set of ''suggested'' merits that a typical member of a given species is likely to have; equally, a particular species may tend towards high or low dots in given attributes, such as Krogan having a high Stamina.

You are entirely free to ignore these suggestions if you see fit but you should, for the sake of the overall group, have a good reason to go against the grain. If you decide to create a low-Strength Krogan with no Iron Stamina dots, they will be seen as a rather weak example of their kind – perhaps they've also suffered such severe past injuries that some of their redundant organs have been badly damaged, rendering them less resilient than their fellows.


Suggested species merits are:<br>
''Asari'': Embrace Eternity, Striking Looks<br>
''Batarian'': Iron Stamina, Unnerving Gaze<br>
''Drell'': Adaptation (Arid), Direction Sense, Eidetic Memory<br>
''Elcor'': Adaptation (High-G), Enormous<br>
''Hanar'': Multiple Limbs, Water Breather<br>
''Human'': Natural Immunity<br>
''Krogan'': Iron Stamina, Iron Stomach, Natural Immunity, Quick Healer, Radiation Resistance, Strong Lungs, Toxin Resistance<br>
''Quarian'': Technophile<br>
''Salarian'': Fast Reflexes, Water Breather<br>
''Turian'': Radiation Resistance<br>
''Volus'': Adaptation (High-G), Ammonia Breather<br>
''Vorcha'': Adaptation (any one), Natural Immunity, Quick Healer<br>


Certain species suffer from disadvantages, such as the Quarian vulnerability to infection. These are best represented through custom flaws, as per the core nWoD system.
