Well worded, Kunai.
Hyattr fire breath hurting allies is a doorway into Red Letter abuse, and even if Red Letter was changed to ignore ally damage then you still have to consider: how strong is this fire breath going to be in a 1v1 if it’s balanaced around teammates wanting to avoid it? If it’s too high then yeah teammates will avoid it but in a 1v1 it’ll be a gameender. If it’s too weak then teammates can just run into it anyways.
I’m more of enjoying the races for flavor myself, but I am glad that SAN exists; racial slurs are easily balanced when you can just make them scale to SAN and adjust how much they actually get from it. I do want some way of changing base stats a bit though; I can’t make a dormeho acrobat-style pirate since they have low CEL, or an Onigan shogun armormaster due to their low DEF.
