Can you make it so that if we "DESCRIBE SELF" without any arguments, it resets our description, so it reads

CODE
She is a fierce dracnari. She is wearing...


instead of

CODE
She is a fierce dracnari and . She is wearing...


please?

No, because you should always have a description.

It's not like it's hard to at least make one sentence. Here, if anyone ever decides they want a void description. Horrible, yes, but better than having something along the lines of 'He is a fierce dracnari and .'

Though they really should set something like these as the default. When you create, you get a little one-sentence "standard" description for your race, and if you try to describe self with nothing, it reverts to that little standard. Just a little platform to start from smile.gif

Might be nice, but I reckon it'd encourage most people to just be content with a basic, unimaginative description if that were coded in.

Although, some of those wouldn't be very effective, as they are repeating the first part. Like: "He is a crystaline lucidian and is composed of crystal." Just thought I'd point that out.

And their guilds would make sure they have a propper at least 3 lines long description. Or so I hope.

Changelings are cool! You get to design like, a bagillion descriptions, and they are all you.
