Special moves of each race ( RP and visual)

The mounts have special movements that characterize them, so why not the races?

For example :
  • Ren'kai every time he kills someone he can put a mark on his skin as a symbol of pride, if he dies the marks go away.
  • Dünir: Every time he collects certain minerals he can summon a barrel of beer to drink alone or share with friends.

This could be applied to the different 64 characters of each race.

What other special moves would you put on the races you are going to play??

    There are racial augments, which you can use to alter your base skills. Both of your examples could be achieved through those, but the kind of things you suggest could also be achieved via other systems, such as the tattoo system or social emote system.

    I like your suggestion of non combat enhancing racial benefits.

    I like the general idea, yeah. Some non-combat fluff based on ingame performance metrics.

    You paid, my little collector. I was just fine with the "iddle animation" addon.

    On another note, I hope IS trully does the development and blocks all 3rd pt programms, banning whoever gets caught using them.

    Every time someone kill a Tulnar and angel gets its wings!

    Be bold. Be brave. Roll a Tulnar !

    I think Dunir should be able to place a pony keg that anyone can drink from for 5 min with a 10 min cooldown. Throughout their adventures they can learn new types of beer to drop. There’s an achievement for all players to get drunk from all the different types of Dunir brew.

    We dwarves build community. Happy, hung-over community.

    Drinking the beer could give you a combination of + and - buffs.

    For example, beer brewed by dwarf 'Bud' could give you +1 strength and -1 speed for 10 minutes. Beer brewed by the higher-level crafting/cooking dwarf named 'IPA' could give you +2 strength, -1 speed and -1 dexterity for 10 minutes.

    Each additional drink would add another +1 to strength but twice the negative buffs until eventually you can neither move nor have the dexterity to equip a weapon, but you feel strong as Superman.

    I would love to see more of this kind of racial traits, they really add a layer of cultural immersion to it, i think if it is well developed people would really be more RP driven when making they're character which will only make the world better and more immersive. i would love to see more of this skills be discussed this is a great idea.
    Great thinking! <3

    Bards could have something like this as a special move.
    It could be individual or group.
    It could be songs to encourage the teams, war songs, melodies, etc.
    A good potential RP for bards.
