Interesting concept, what if it worked something like this;
Changeling
Bonuses:
Choose, from existing Racial perks, one of each of the following;
- Bonuses (for example, you don't get ALL Dwarf qualities, you have to pick one)
- Military
- Spellbook
and then you would still have to pick a Personality, as normal.
... I will do a trial with current Age 74 perks;
Changeling
Bonus(Orc):
+15% Enemy casualties when attacking
Military(Human):
Off/Def......................Cost......NW
Soldiers.........(1, 1)
Swordsmen....(6, 0)
Archers.........(0, 6)
Knights.........(9, 4)....900gc....10.0
Mercenaries...(5, 0)
Prisoners.......(5, 0)
War Horses....(2, 0)
Thieves....................500gc
Spellbook(Bocan):
Invisibility, Inspire Army and Town Watch
And I would match this with;
Undead
Bonuses:
+570% Plague Contagiousness
-40% Own casualties when attacking
Always Carries and is Immune to the Plague
Spell Book:
Greater Protection and Animate Dead
... you could make some pretty sick combos. Here I have a Human army, with Orc kills, and Town Watch (Invis, and IA are just glitter). Make it Undead to keep that offence alive, since it is maybe a bit gimpy at 9 these days. Animated Dead in combination with Town Watch would make being chained a breeze I imagine!
