I'm a bad person, and I know it, but I made Wombles. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wombles The history of the Wombles is a checkered one. Originally, they lived in harmony with nature on a jungle-world, but when this world was colonised by gnomes and humans, the Wombles went into hiding on their own homeworld. They quickly became expert scavengers and salvagers, using what they found lying around and adapting it for their own needs. The planet became a contradiction: heavily industrialised and yet neat and orderly with it. Being naturally curious about the craft the non-native inhabitants of their world used, enterprising Wombles snuck onto these craft while their owners were not present, and left for (or, more accurately, were taken to) exotic pastures new. It is only recently that a few Wombles have made their way to Arborea and made contact with the elves, who they sense are fellow protectors of nature. Wombles are peaceful, secretive sophonts who look rather similar to humanoid badgers, possessing fur, a pointed snout and retractable claws for digging. They are herbivorous, with a particular fondness for fungi, and can digest cellulose, making their diets rather different to those of most intelligent species. They tend to have a relatively poor opinion of most non-sapient animal species, although they are never unkind to them. They also have a poor opinion of polluting races (such as squats, gnomes and humans), who they view as raping their own biosphere. Their young are not given names at birth, instead choosing a name from an atlas or other book of maps after reaching working age, which occurs after a period of communal education. Wombles have a high life expectancy, expecting to reach old age at around 200, although some exceptional individuals have been known to reach 300 with their mental facilities intact. |

So, having done some thinking and looking at stuff, I think that the Womble paragon asset may need the following text: "Wombles have retractable claws for digging. Yours happen to be stronger and sharper than most. You gain a natural weapon with the following stats: 1k1 R; Pen 1." It still needs a name, but whatever. Oh, and Wombles are Clean for the hell of it: "Wombles are, while not obsessive groomers, good at keeping themselves and their belongings clean, neat and tidy, and this extends to their weapons. If a weapon you fire would jam, roll a d10. On a 9, it merely misses instead. You also get a free raise to social tests where a neat and clean appearance would make a good impression or otherwise help." |
