Very nice idea, I'll have to keep that kind of thinking in mind when
going through the narratives of my players to be. I don't think it
would be a good idea to give "famed for...." instead of the originally
intended ability. If I was a player and got my intentions warped like
that when writing a narrative, I'd stick to the list in the future.
But then, you said "not just that", which I actually managed to
overlook the first time I read the paragraph. Oops.
