I honestly don't think these threads were ever intended for new players. I personally haven't had much experience with playing but I've tinkered around with the system for quite a while, and I don't think I'd go with most of these even if they were allowed(and playable, for that matter). For most players, "unusual" would probably be some flavor of goblinoid or undead, maybe a dragon. The reanimated debris of an undead fetus god isn't going to be that high of a priority.

Really, sometimes I feel some of the veterans are the rough equivalent of Dark Souls players who've been doing naked runs because they're bored with the base game.
