I remember when I first saw Graham. I was so excited that I immediately homebrewed him into my D&D campaign as a playable human subrace. I felt so hopeful that one day we could genetically engineer ourselves into something as cool as Graham.

I don't think this was the intended reaction.

    Aw man I completely forgot about Graham?

    How did the subrace work? Resistance to bludgeoning damage and a +50 to all charisma checks?

      Basically imagine if a tabaxi and a dwarf had a baby. +3 con as its only modifier, the tabaxi’s lunge but only as a reaction, +1 to AC unless wearing heavy armor.

      This is a model of what a human would look like if we were evolved to withstand a car accident without supplemental restraints and safety systems

          The word choice of “subrace” is definitely not great but I could see this being used as inspiration for a fantasy creature.

            There’s all kinds of mutated body horror creatures in ttrpg’s it’s not that weird.

            I’m working on a half-slug half-man adventure module for instance.
