Sorry if this happens to be an oft-repeated suggestion, but I created my first dwarf this morning and figured I'd throw out an idea for character features.

I see a beard as a given for a dwarf, generally. I think it'd be nice if beard options were duplicated in both the facial features and distinguishing marks categories for feature selection to give folks more combinations to choose from. Both of these categories show up on the last line and are both optional selections, so I don't really feel like it would be any detriment; But it would allow folks to have distinguishing marks without having to give up on the beard.

Clearly you rolled up a halfling by mistake!

That's the problem, A beardless dwarf is just so wrong.

Many of the town have a feature pavilion that can address the issue for you. Which town are you in?

It's more of it should be a separate line for dwarves. While I could just get the generic has a scruffy beard line from the new look, I feel that dwarves and beards share a special place in fantasy. They're dwarves they have beards, shedwarfs have beards. Long Beards, short beards, and braid beards

Beards in two locations or a "special" place just gives me this icky feeling for those bearded dwarven ladies out there.

There are also those older beards you can wear that show up in a separate line and that you can do a couple things with. Because Dwarves without beards shouldn't be allowed in town. Well, maybe elftown, and they can go and drink wine and such. (insert scoffing here)

Unfortunately, the beard options in the pavilions are standard and don't have racial restrictions since it's to be used by everyone. Getting an extra special beard would require a feature alterer. And having a separate line in features for beards on dwarves would be terribly difficult, because beards happen for many races, unlike wings for Aelotoi.

I do have some ideas for beards, but if you guys have some, you can always email me at gs4-aiza@play.net.

True that other races can grow beards but dwarven beards are things of legend. It is a iconic feature.

So any updates yet?

Had an idea the other day, why not a merchant that sells beards that show up in features with some layers of verbs.
Basic verbs, dwarf verbs, zul logoth citizen verb, premium verbs.
