Druidic Healing Addition - Wooden Limbs

[Birdwhisperer 1173]

Wooden Limbs (Druidic):

    Sometimes, through accident, illness, or a bad turn of luck, one may find themselves with a limb less than they had at birth.  Happens to the best of us! However, this need not be the end of that limb. One can consult the temple Monks for a replacement with ease, or seek out skilled, powerful Druids well-versed in Control of Nature to craft them a new limb.  For one not attuned, this would simply be a fancy pegged limb, but for one attuned and skilled in Control of Nature, it can serve as a full replacement limb!

 

Explanation:

It is a completely harmless concept that simply adds more variety to RP, and has been done for a long while now, there are many characters with wooden replacement limbs of various sorts already.  One can simply say “the monks healed me” and have any limb or ailment cured, but this can be rather generic at times, and having other options that provide no additional advantage is completely harmless.

 

Points and Red Lines:

• Wooden Replacement Limbs provide no advantage over any other artificial or natural limb, and is no more durable than any other limb.

• Only a Druid of Tier 3 or higher Control of Nature can manipulate a wooden limb attached to themselves. To anyone lacking this skill, or druidism at all, it is just an immobile peg limb that a Druid happened to shape for them.

• The limb is only living wood if attached to a Druid, it draws from their natural energies to sustain itself.

• The effectiveness of the replacement limb is entirely up to the player receiving it. It can be a simple peg limb, or of some practical but limited use, or a fully functional replacement able to be manipulated as normal. These exist to enhance RP, and should be left to the recipient's’ discretion.

• One cannot attach another animal part to someone as a replacement, such as a dog’s tongue to replace a severed tongue, or a spider eye to replace a lost eye. Only wooden limbs may be made and attached.

• One cannot have more than two full wooden limbs (From the shoulder or hip down), or four half limbs (from the elbow or knee down). ((As a note, this does not negate characters that obtained their limbs before this change. This only affects people going forward. ))
