it's just part of the scifi/fantasy culture, I guess

I'm in a D&D game, and I was trying to figure out what my character should learn next. I found a big list of official D&D feats (abilities) on the web, and was scrolling through it, looking for ones which looked interesting.

This is clearly the best one, from their world-full-of-vampires guide:

Feat: Redhead
Prerequisite: Wis 11+
Benefit: Cast a spell, 1 / per day as a spell-like ability.

That's right. At some point in your life, you can become a redhead, and then you get magical powers. It's all so obvious!

But of course. :-)

Damn, now our secret is out. *sigh* :-)

So, speaking as your DM, where'd you find that list of feats?

Heh. Hi! Let's look through the browser history and ... aha. It was one of the myriad links on this "Dungeons and Dragons Tools" page, and I scrolled through it to find "Compiled list of all feats for 3.5E by Ken Stanford (ZIP 284Kb)". They break it up by book, and it all looked official (if occasionally goofy). These don't include the full descriptions, merely the summaries, but it's still 31 pages at that. I didn't bother looking at things labelled "new feats" or other anything else like that.

Note that only the reasonably wise may become redheads, however.

Not a real blog? *chuckle* OnTopic.... Does this mean that Wulf is already a red head? Need... telekinesis...

nope, not a real blog

You know, I was thinking about this in the shower this morning, and I might've misinterpreted, given that I only read the summary description. It's possible you have to already be able to cast spells, and this just lets you do it as some sort of Lovecraftian special power.

I still like the idea of waking up one morning as a redhead and having special powers. =)

I noticed that! Too wise, in fact, for my dwarf. Not that it'd be allowed in our game anyhow. =)
