my type of approach is mutate the every trait on person and go as My main dude BeastWolf 7/6/2/3 max stats
main slave cat +1 strength with all 4 boosting traits
dragon and drow with all 4 traits
good alternative for Dragonkin might be cali
everyone trained as assassin and main person as mage
all tattoes for +2 magic and last 1 whatever really
4x Elven armor +1str +agility
4x ruby ring +1str +1 agility
3x cursed blade 1x ayneris sword on main
