Thats some crazy stuff... not my style, but my daughter will probably like it!

Its all about how to you think about them. Divorcing them from the cute is not to difficult with a little thinking. Thanks for the comment Smoot.

Took some time and looked over them in detail. I really like the rules as presented, bravo.

Thanks Steve. That means a lot to me. Have fun with them if you end up using them.

Alright I made a bunch of little edits and just generally cleaned up the whole thing. Should be easier to read and a little more balanced and show accurate. Updated version available in first post.

Enjoy.

Why do I taste cake?

Given everything I know is meme-related, I can't speak for show accuracy (The Bear (my daughter) prefers Adventure Time), but it looks to capture the essence of everything. Mixing freecasting with prepcasting is a neat tweak - and might be a reason to have high scores in your requisites.

I might steal the marks for general use. They seem perfect for background talents and traits.

While I (or more properly my children) are not into either CareBears or MLPonies, I do utilize a pseudo-faerie sort of race (Phaerim from New Races Supplement) and it seems to be the prime choice for young ladies whom I run games for. Much like disney faeries (of the tinkerbell variety), each could have a little themed perk.

So, for my family game setting, I think I may apply the idea of such 'cutie-marks' to provide a little flavor to some races. In addition to Phaerim, my elves are more faerie-ish than the tolkein-esque sort, so I might put these marks upon them as well, and I will give thought to adding such to other races that have a magical/faerie-ish background.

That said, I will likely put my own spin on this, making my own list of such minor perks, but the idea seems cool for my younger players.

I have been thinking about making a longer list of effects like the mark list and having players roll on it. It would be fun if everyone has a unique ability.

Somewhere around 30 items seems popular...
