Union, or the Test Server? Y'know, to let -everyone- watch you get killed?
Don't test setup on my new rig atm, so Union, if you don't mind.

Not a problem. Makes no odds to me where I'll be dancing over your squiddy corpse.

Well, I rolled a 10, adding my Flame-Ability score of 2, and Charisma modifier of +2, that's a 14 in total. Beat that!

A shorter, better and more important question:
WHY?!
[/ QUOTE ]
Because, put simply, not everyone is male or female.
I'm going to be very serious for a moment. Please bear with me
There are intersexed, there are transgenders and there are hermaphrodites, to name but a few.
I'm lucky to know a few such people and some who are clearly born with a brain of one sex and a body of another. (I also know some who are very confused because they were born with both sets of organs but were conditioned to be one way.)
When a child is born with, for example, a cleft palet, or webbed fingers or some other "defect" everyone wrings their hands and elects for "corrective" surgery. When somebody is born with a condition that causes their sexuality into question, most people shun them. (There are plenty of M2F transexuals who will tell you about the physical abuse they receive just for being the way they are.)
Whilst I'm not aware of any transexuals or XGender supergheroes, it's entirely believeable that some have the ability to manifest however they wish (Phoenix. Scarlet Witch, Mystique, Proteus etc)
Put it another way: Ever played a toon that is not the same sex as you?
Why shouldn't a player have a beloved toon who can (or at least outwardly appear to) be any sex they wish?

It depends entirely if you stick to mainstream or not, I am an avid reader of The Whateley Academy Chronicles which do feature... wait consist of just that sort of hero/ine. (http://www.crystalhall.org/) (Caution: Has fiction that contains Transgender themes.)

A different species to human!? That's outrageous, and totally not suitable for superheroes to be!
Woohoo!
Fun thread.
I'm going to weigh in on... wait for it... both sides of the argument!
1) For: I see no moral objection that can stem from enabling body-type to be changed by costume slot. If someone wishes to portray a character who is trans- or omnigendered, then more power to them. This is not a problem to me, and shapechanging is a staple of the genre, as well as reflecting the reality of the world in which we live, where the gender spectrum does not solely consist of male/female.
2) Against: We have no idea whether this is a feasible implementation. I happen to think that it would be, and I think it should happen. On the other hand, I doubt it will, for the following reasons - a) it might be a lot harder than we think, and b) it creates threads like this on the forums that turn into veritable flame wars where people don't listen to each other. The possible disadvantages probably outweigh the advantages, as far as the devs can see, not least because the odds are that such tech would be used primarily by RPers to denote shapechangers/trans- or omnigendered individuals, and it's actually not much of a hardship for us RPers to simply roll another toon (okay, the 40-90 second downtime caused by logging out and logging in on a different toon is immersion-breaking, but it's not that bad) for what we need. I would rather see dev time devoted to new powersets/costumes/zones/villains than this pure QoL issue.

; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise ; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* Shadowe, I freakin' love you.
