Spells by Race / Traits

[John Adams]

Something to consider when we re-address/enhance the spells system; I think we will need a "race_id" column for identifying those racial traits/traditions specific to one race. I do not see a skill_id associated with race in our skills table.


A few examples:

A Halfling's Feast:
Halflings love to savor their meals giving them improved duration to all food and drinks.

Aerial Dodging:
Arasai use speed to their advantage while engaged in combat. They excel at defense due to their deft and precise movements. Enhancement, permanently placed upon you, which adds an additional 5 to your Defense skill. The arasai are also skilled offensively and gain an additional chance to double attack or critical spell based attacks depending on their chosen profession.

...but wait! There's another

Aerial Dodging:
Fae are extremely quick in combat. "If you are like the butterfly in strong wind, none will be able to catch you." Enhancement, permanently placed upon you, which adds an additional 5 to your Defense skill.

I know we're nowhere near the point of implementing Achievements or Traits, but on the data side I'd like to at least contemplate how we will let the world know what abilities are available to me based on my race. I can add a column for that and we can set the data now, for use later.

Thoughts?
