Short height is good for a species intended to operate underground or defending/scouring small tunnels and being able to get to spaces other species can't get to without much destruction - which in quite a few cases is not feasible.
Normally I'd be glad to adjust it! It's just that there've been a few people copy pasting the vote, and I'm not fond of changing a vote after people have voted. This is especially true when the vote's about an hour away from closure.
Oh I think it won't be disastrous at all, just suboptimal. Apologies for not pinging you earlier in the vote to solve this.Normally I'd be glad to adjust it!

Only thing I can do is hope that the QM takes mercy on me!
I checked and all but me (oops) only voted for your plan name, so alteration to the location would be fine and I think acceptable for most of its voters. I'll go change how I voted for your plan.
Actually it was pointed out that there is a practical reason for having both magic and mutation resistance. That being to have the rat race be able to handle and work with the magical equivalent of highly radioactive materials, that being warpstone like the canon Skaven. Warpstone is canonically pretty terrible stuff due to how magically toxic and radioactive it is to the point that even canon Skaven suffered serious issues with it. Both traits seems like it would make it so that they could come up with unique technology. They might even be able to purify stuff like chaos or warp contamination.
Hence why I built the R&R plan to have similar traits be used in a completely different manner. Big, strong, lots of 'em, can go anywhere, sure. But rather than an uncomfortable stereotype that pretty much just stays in one place being terrible, we're going to explore, build, and be a shield and spear pointed by a reliable command system.
All I've found is that warpstone is "solidified Chaos" and nothing about it being radioactive in the conventional sense (e.g. how uranium, palladium, etc are), which definitely sounds like something Magical Resistance or Mutation Resistance can already deal with. I've seen the QM post and it also noted that combo-ing them together is a bit redundant.
Hmm, it'd be best as a Non-Servant species instead and maybe craft an alternate Servant species as the meatshie-er, horde defender role for our Temples & Moon Base? Servant species as we've seen based on this Quest's interpretation of Old Ones' wants regarding them are intended for that defensive role AFAIK - losing connection to the Old Ones by way of them dying out (which I expect to happen whatever we do FWIW) will leave them inflicted by a more toned down versions of the "robotic" nature Canon Lizardmen has (QM has said the Servant options are varying degrees of Robotic).
That's my point, it's not really changing much but just a single trait. I don't care if smething is 'stronger' I'd rather we try to be original. Otherwise that excuse is going to be used to recreate all the other canon races with just some minor tweaking. Which again, I point feels like it defeats the purpose and would make it feel too much like canon.
Well looking at the plan it feels like the race is actually unique enough from the canon version that it's not actually a copy paste race but a unique one. It's definitely far more original and unique than the 'Titan but with just one extra trait and nothing else' plan. It's got my vote along with the rat one.
That's wrong haha. Canon Titans in Fission's system can do magic (which I assume is due to their degraded Gargant cousins being somewhat variants of Attuned to a Wind in Canon). It's actually four different traits different from canon Titans - Muscular, Hardy, Magic Resistance, & Thick Hide. It's much more leaning into the physical aspect of a gigantic species with a twist of resistance to magic for that effect of nigh-unstoppable force of nature - much more so than the ogres - as opposed to kinda-humans but massive as in Canon.
Already explained it, last turn we literally voted to have add Elves. The turn after we have people making votes for Dwarfs, Halflngs and Ogres with the leading vote being Titans. If this wasn't literally right after we voted to create Elves I wouldn't see an issue, but that wasn't the case.
Uh, those actually sound like traits the canon Giants would have considering how tough they are and the brutish nature of their descendants. Where is the template for the original titans for this quest?
