*gives Asyria a thumbs-up, especially on the place of mechanics*
Everything else aside, that's the key question -- what does this buy the character narratively that they couldn't get by being more mundane? A Duskwight is going to be on the receiving end of significant bias and is well supported in game and in lore, for instance. I'm always of the opinion that going into the far stretches of the possible with regards to lore requires an equally strong benefit to the character's narrative to be a good idea. Otherwise, it's just being a "special snowflake" for its own sake, is it not?
