|p=''>>PRISONMOUSE: With Hhsuna coming to do feature "alterations" namely the s'kra crest, I'm going to guess the staff issue with crests has been resolved?''

For this specific merchant ([[Hhsuna]]), yes. Other merchants, even ones who work on features or feature mirrors, may still be unable to alter [[S'Kra]] head crests.


''>>Since this is a recent change, is there any way to get an idea as to what can be done? I for one if selected do not want to waste the GMs time bantering back and forth if I can walk in with a better idea what will be allowed.''

Design-wise, keep in mind that the crest slot has some hard-coded text around it, so the feature will need to make sense when immediately followed by the words "which follows the shape of your skull." (For example, there is a GMPC with "a membranous, fin-like crest which follows the shape of his skull.")

In general, characteristics that would be natural for S'Kra Mur skin/scales could conceivably be incorporated in crests as well.

Some other guidelines:
* It must remain a "crest."
* nothing that suggests a fresh injury (wounds heal)
* no dead/rotting flesh
* no feathers or hair
* no tattoos or brands (scars are OK)
* no incorporating items, non-biological matter (such as metal), or non-living biological matter
* no magical properties (e.g., emitting light or shifting colors)
* no motion or sound

All other feature alteration rules apply: [[Feature alteration|https://elanthipedia.play.net/Feature_alteration]]

Some things will be decided on a case-by-case basis as players request them. If any additional rules (besides the ones listed above) are decided during the session, I will post them in the S'Kra Mur section of the forum.


''>>I am going to guess the s'kra in question needs to have a crest already shifted into place?''

Ideally yes.

The lore of how this works is that Hhsuna is a S'Kra Mur [[Empath]] with advanced knowledge of [[Shift ability|empathic shifting]]. If your character is someone who cannot be empathically shifted, be prepared to have your crest altered the non-magical way (with surgery and a head wound to heal).
