  4. Obligate carnivore with blunt teeth, or herbivore with all pointed teeth.
  5. Enormous golden or green eyes.

  8. Very long and pointed chin.
  9. Enormously large and puffy cheeks.
  10. Long eyebrows, almost like cats whiskers.
  11. Goat's horns from forehead.

  14. Quadruple sized dragonfly wings on back.
  15. Strangely slender limbs and body.
  16. Short fur instead of smooth skin, or vice versa.
  17. Unusual tinge to skin color (typically lavender, mint, or yellow).

Spell Research: A Hexflower

 As part of an RPG Discord group's writing prompt, I wrote a hexflower for spell research.  It's a draft, but if there's any interest, I'll turn it into something a little more formal and post it on Itch.io or DrivethruRPG.

d100 Ways to End a Curse

Goal : Make curses more interesting, especially if one of these death curses applies. Rational : Casters of curses now have to decide between making the curse harder to remove with remove curse and making it harder to remove by allowing fewer end conditions for the curse, which I feel gives an interesting choice. The caster casting remove curse has an interesting choice in determining whether to try to force the removal of the curse, or try to fulfill one of the curse removal conditions. Why use this list?
