07-11-07, 12:02 PM I'm trying to work the feat Aberration Blood (from Lords of Madness) into my character's back story. How does one generally acquire aberration blood? Did Grandma have a "close encounter" with an ettercap? :embarrass Did Great-Grandpa make a deal with an illithid? Does it work like that? Is the source of this aberration blood just some form of genetically mutated, otherwise normal, creature? Perhaps the character's mother was the subject of magical experiments while pregnant.

There are a few ideas I've had on the subject. Can anyone come up with something that seems plausible?

2] Ancestor violated by intelligent aberration [in it's natural form or more probably disguised or magically shapechanged as humanoid]

3] Kidnapped by aberrations and performed experiments upon [aberration blood injections and/or body part augmenations/replacements]

He was cared for by his tribe until he was banished from his Goliath community, and since Goliaths themselves were at war with and banished by Humans and Giant empires alike, he totally lived up to his name "Kinless".
