"A male human"

Post by Tamryn » Sat May 25, 2013 4:10 pm

I've seen a few people running around with this extremely non-descriptive adjective. It seems to be caused by:
  • No adjective set.
  • Chr between 13 and 16 inclusive.
  • Str or con 13 or higher.
  • Age between 25 and 60 inclusive.
It's somewhat annoying because "male human" (or "female human") usually matches about half the people in the room, leading to: look 1.'male human', look 2.'male human', look 3.'male human'.... in an attempt to find a way to refer to them.

Perhaps people whose stats don't give them a special adjective could be "unremarkable" or something like that? Since most people set their own adjective, that would make them reasonably unique.

I think then you would just see a number of Unremarkable humans/elves and the like.

I think the point isn't the number of those just as a 'male human', but if in a room you have
A male human
A tall red haired male human
A lanky blue-eyed male human
A curly-haired male human
A tall muscled male human

... All of these could be targeted with human or male. If we give these characters a general adjective we may see quit a few of them but at least you would have an easier way to target them.

I agree - I've had this problem as well, and I think this would be an easy and effective fix!
