Reduce Hair/Beard growth

Post by Burz » February 24th, 2019, 10:25 am

Hair grows fast on Requiem. I am using the facial razor and barber scissors every 24 hours to go from this:

to this:

I suggest making the timer 20x (twenty) longer than it currently is. If people need to grow it faster, they can always drink hair/beard growth potions (which currently are never used because you can grow hair very fast without them).

I have 99+ uses of beard/mustache growth recipes that are completely useless as men just have to wait a day to look full-on mountain hermit again. I chuck them in the bin now when I get them.

There is no hair growth potion for the scalp, but that's a good idea.

I support this too. Alternatively (or additionally?) there could be a toggle for active grooming, making your character automatically upkeep a hair state.

That being said, the growth recipes aren't completely useless, as I know roguish types have used them. Being able to change your looks really fast comes in essential in some shenanigans.

I totally see them being used for disguises, just haven't had anyone need them much IG yet - at least not from me... especially with the growth timers being what they are!

The hair growth timer could use a trim. We'll cut and style it back a bit. Maybe with a nice wave and flip.
