In a previous post, I updated the mongrelfolk and gave them a bunch of new feats. Players don't generally like to play mongrelfolk, which is fine; I can still use these things for NPCs, because mongrelfolk are such very common NPCs.
Today, I would like to give them more feats. Effectively, I've gone through the list of types and subtypes, and given the mongrelfolk the ability to take feats to acquire any of the types or subtypes it would make sense for them to acquire.
Some of them are not powerful, or even effectively do nothing, and you would only take them to meet prerequisites. Some of them (mostly the specific races of Outsider: Angel, Baatezu, Tanar'ri, etc.) would be overpowered if they were just one feat, so I provide a number of extra feat chains to collect all the abilities of these subtypes.
The immunities are particularly powerful, but note that you need four feats before you can even get one immunity. Let's take acid immunity, for example:
1 - Outsider Mongrel, Celestial Heritage, Monstrous Mongrel, or something along those lines, to add an angel to your general heritage, to qualify for Angel Mongrel
2 - Angel Mongrel, to qualify for Mongrel Acid Resistance
3 - Mongrel Acid Resistance, to qualify for Mongrel Acid Immunity
4 - Mongrel Acid Immunity
Probably not worth it; I'm sure there are much easier ways to get these things. But I'd rather introduce weak options that nobody takes than introduce strong options that completely break the game.
