Step 1. Slap 'em all into a 'Random container full of assorted goodies' .pdf.
Step 2. ? ? ?
Step 3. Profit!
:p

Seriously, that'd be enough to earn my money. Your stuff is always good.

What? You mean you haven't scripted it already, designed an Expert Class which puts it to good use, and come up with a campaign setting build around it? Tongue

Of course I have Smiley. It dovetails nicely with the Legendary Giant master class I worked up (j/k).

But if Alex wants to show his version off, I wouldn't steal a march on him. He tackles some concepts very differently than I do and I'd love to see his take.

Because you demanded it...

Two Headed
They really are better than one...
Requirements: Giant, ogre, or unborn, Level 1 only
Benefits: You may only be flanked by 3 or more characters. Also, the penalties you suffer when multi-tasking and from the Two Weapon Fighting and Two Weapon Style feats are reduced by 2 (minimum 0).

No - we don't add new rules to the books as part of the errata (as it's not an error). I would expect a feat like this to appear in a future product though... Cheesy

If you're desperate to have this feat as "official" for your game - tell them one of the company's owners says it's official until printed elsewhere Smiley

Niiiice. I like that better than mine Smiley. I understand the concept of the first effect, but how do you actually trigger it? Is that maybe "You may only be flanked if there are 3 or more opponents adjacent to you."?

Here's a thought for all bothered by the fact that the Crafty guys sling new stuff in the topics without making it "official" through a book.

Create a page in the wiki under the FC entry, name it "official add-ons" and there you have it.

Great feat BTW Alex, but I would think about adding beast to it. There have been dragons etc. with two heads in fiction. A two headed drake could be an interesting outcast, a one of a kind mutation or maybe a whole sub-species...

Which almost makes me wish for an Albino feat...

Albino dark elves with automatic crossbows riding two headed nightmares.

PS: I'm not bothered.

Well, that all happened before I even got a chance to think about a two headed feat of my own, but what had been rattling around in my head was adding a bit where the GM can activate certain errors easier because I had always thought the idea of the two heads fighting with each other is hilarious

     Hydra Blood: You must be a Drake to select this blood type. You have a number of additional heads equal to the number of species feats you possess. Each of your heads provides a Bite II attack; this replaces the bite attack from your original head. [Note that even one additional head (which is what this feat alone would provide) allows the Drake to flurry.]


I like his one. Not sure how to play with this kind of character (Malkavian, the drake with multiple personalities... Grin)But sounds right.

the many-armed and many-legged cuould relate to this somehow?

Given that truth is stranger than fiction, I'd suggest a combination of fully individualised identities and incredible intuitive teamwork:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abigail_and_Brittany_Hensel
Quote from: Wikipedia
In conversation, they are clearly distinct persons, with distinct likes and dislikes. Despite sharing a body, the twins' preferences in food, clothing color, etc. differ. Some of their clothes are altered by their seamstress so that they have two separate necklines in order to emphasize their individuality. They will usually have separate meals, but sometimes will share a single meal for the sake of convenience (e.g., each takes a bite of the same hamburger). Abigail is better at mathematics and Brittany is better at writing. For tasks such as responding to e-mail, they type and respond as one, anticipating each other’s feelings with little verbal communication between them. In such cases as the latter, their choice of grammatical person is to use the first person singular out of habit when they agree, but when their responses do differ, they use their names in the third person singular.

You can also find a few videos on youtube that show them playing ball, riding a bicycle, going to school, and talking to the camera about their lives and how much they wish people would stop taking pictures of them without asking - which (if I can go all Richard Herring for a moment here) raises the question, who is the real freak? The girl born with two heads, or the man born with no class?

If the girl has class then she is the freak.  Many people have no class what so ever.
