  1. As human beings we are pretty much the pinnacle of balance. Not sure if an actual tail would better that.

    1. @awlditzy Considering my balance improves by at least an order of magnitude if I have a sword or similar item to compensate weight shifts, I'd say a tail would be useful. It'd fulfill that same function while leaving hands free.

      1. @nerthos hmm. Not sure i could say the same for myself with rifle in hand but not entirely the same anyways. As to say, i can't "parkour" with carrying one.

        1. @awlditzy I sometimes do stuff like chasing cats over roofs while holding my sword on my right hand, so if I start to lose balance I can aim it towards the opposite direction to where I'm falling, and recover it. (a stick sometimes works too, but utually doesn't have enough weight to compensate for a sudden change of weight) Not sure I could do the same with a rifle due to how you're supposed to hold it. Plus a rifle can get damaged if you throw it around and it hits things, a sword rarely does unless you strike something really solid with the edge.
