Add race-based TR past lives

[Carpone]

Hey Turbine, increase sales of your optional races (Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Warforged, Drow) by adding True Reincarnation perks based on race, like you do today with classes. Examples:

Past Life: Half-Orc
You were a half-orc in a past life. You occasionally find yourself filled with a nearly irresistable urge to rage. Each time you acquire this feat you gain +1 STR and +1 Intimidate. This feat can be stacked up to three times.

Past Life: Warforged
You were a warforged in a past life. You occasionally find yourself filled thumping your chest with vitality. Each time you acquire this feat you gain +1 CON and +1 Concentration. This feat can be stacked up to three times.

These game mechanics are just examples.

Will never happen. And giving +1 to stats for the race reincarnation would make them OP.

Cool idea. Maybe your examples are a little OP though.

[articwarrior]

change the +1 stat to an additional +2 to the skill making it +3 and /signed this would be automatic or do you need to use a feat for it?

I'm not advocating any specific bonuses. I'll leave the details up to the developers.

[TeldinTabath]

I think this idea has potential. And, if they really wanted to be evil, you would have to chose which "tier one" past life feat you get when you TR: Class, or Race? It would add so many more lives to the "ideal build" most people have in mind. That could increase the sale of both the races and true druidic hearts of wood.

That would be really sadistic, so they must do it.

Past Life: Halfling
You were a halfling in a past life. You run like you have a corn cob stuffed in your rear. Each time you acquire this feat you gain +1 Dex and +1 Bluff. This feat can be stacked up to three times, eventually making you run like you have a Ford Windstar rammed in there.

I'm still a fan of race-based past life feats and wish it was part of DDO.

Same. I've been hoping for their eventual inclusion ever since the introduction of TR. Still wish it would happen.

[elixer1]

past life has nothing to do with race, it's class (learning and experience) based.

As am I. Either an option to select the free passive past life feat you want each time you TR be it class or race or as an additional (minor) perk.

[Yokido]

If you want the TR to become race based then fine, but make the bonus only apply itself if you're still that race.

Human

Will only effect you if you are halfling or human.

I had been discussing this with some friends and we all like the idea of Past Life/Race Feats.

I don't like the numbers posed or the idea based on it. They should be race aligned.

IE:
Warforged Get Arcane Healing Amp.
Dwarves get Giant hate and Balance/Stability
Etc.

Nothing big, but a little something. however, they should be choices in place of Class Past life (IE: One or the other)

^This^

Not too powerful, gives a different spin to being a TR and/or completionist. I like it.

More reasonable might be

Warforged - 1DR/adamantine and 5HP

Half orc- nothing. they are already far off and beyond the best dps race in the game.... ok ok ok.. 3% Glancing blow effects and 5% incite added to tier 1 brute fighting.

Yeah, something like this. None of that is over the top, just neat perks.

This is a nice one.. a little extra flavour without being overpowered
