Long story short, I'm making an obese cleric for a new game (3.5) I'm going to be in soon, and I remember distinctly in some book there being not only rules for playing a fat character but 1-2 feats from being obese. I can't find the feats anywhere in any book I own, can anyone help me out?

Willing Deformity

I think its Exemplar's of Evil...not certain.

And mad props if you name your obese cleric Fazoul.

{Please don't link to non-OGL materials}

There are also come Traits which might work nice. Torpid (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/characterTraits.htm#torpid) and Stout. (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/buildingCharacters/characterTraits.htm#stout)

Damn. Two other people answered while I was looking it up.

Yeah. Deformity (Obese) from Book of Vile Darkness.

There's also the flaw {Obese - Please don't link to non-OGL material} if you're Small.

That's also really easy to change to allow creatures of any size to take it - it's just double the base weight, and taking all the penalties of a creature one size larger than you, including armor cost/weight. The small size limitation just seems to be for ease of describing how it works.

Actually, the Dex requirement makes sense - it's a cap on how nimble you can be and still be considered obese. The Small requirement, not so much, but that is an easy fix.

One of my players made an obese cleric, though he insisted that he wasn't fat, merely "overflowing with the joy of Fharlangan". This is really my fault, since I bought him a fat mini, the only cleric mini I could find.

What is it with clerics and obesity? Is it a Friar Tuck kind of thing?

Or Oliver (http://serenesforest.net/media/fe10illust/e/oliver_en.png). And play harpsichord (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KSt8kHCDjHE) music (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObBwgjg3kEU) everywhere. And believe yourself to be the most beautiful creature in the room.

Sheriff of Moddingham: Please stop linking to non-OGL sites. Telling the person the name of the feat and where it can be found is fine; linking to places posting copyrighted material without authorization is not. When in doubt, leave it out.

Actually, I thought, "Oliver! Eggman! Yay!"

...both are obese, red-haired, moustached, bald guys who serve as villains in their first appearances yet can be recruited as an ally in at least one later appearance. Weird, no?

I was under the impression that {it} was displaying that information legally. Huh. Oh well. My bad, I guess.
