In line with this forum's title of "Serious Suggestions", I am making this thread seriously, and am serious about this suggestion that I am about to make.
If it can at all be done,
I suggest characters with the "Obese Stigma" perk be weakened against characters with the "Cannibal" perk. Whether this means Cannibals do extra damage against the Obese, the Obese take extra damage from Cannibals, or some form of circumstantial AB bonus that is granted turn by turn as long as the PC continues to attack an obese character.
The bonus will be considered a "bloodlust" for the fatty rinds of a nearby enemy, and so it could be justified if the bonus continues to apply to other creatures in the area who may or may not be obese.
I do not imagine that this is such an amazing thing as to really truly improve the server. I do believe that this suggestion is frickin' awesome, regardless of its viability.
It also really lends itself to a "Fat Guy Strangler" concept, which the server is SORELY in need of right now.
[00:38] too many obese characters
[00:38] Yes.
[00:38] Make a fat-guy-strangler.
[00:38] hah...
[00:38] CANNIBAL

We probably do need to put some additional detractors to the obese perk. -4 DEX, maybe.
Make it not stack with Toughness - Fixed imo.
-2 dex +1 con works well too.
Decrease movement speed to a juggernaught wobble imo
Yeah lets make it -4 dex -4 ac +1 con imo. Needs to be worthless so nobody will use it.
Then we'll have to move onto the FREE level 8 bardANDcurse song for paladins, clerics or any other character that has turning and then after that the +1d4 damage while barbarian raged. etc. Or the I CAN MOVE AT 40% SPEED AT LEVEL 9 perk for rangers/druids.
So lol...
You guys suck. I'm removing perks if they are going to abused.
Obese is fine. It's a stat swap, but without the full benefits due to the lowered FORT. IMO, we need more fat characters. On Ahmed, I was never that confident with disguises working as I was playing the only fat wizard PC :P. War Screamer is pretty sick, even without it affecting you.
Yes! Fat phenotype PCs only add annoying diversity to the character pool without giving any mechanical advantages. Definitely need more smirking human white male PCs melee builds wearing helms with non-descript names and the regular phenotype so that I can't distinguish them from the other 3,000 that have been on EFU.
So why stop there? How about a new PrC?
David Duke's Raiders:
Requirements - white skin tone, 8 Taunt, 8 Intimidate, Weapon Focus - Whip
~ This PrC gives PCs a +4 STR, +2 CON, -2 INT, -4 WIS when in combat with any non-white flesh tone human PC.
Cool faction gear! White sheet and hood of +4 Bluff, a Torch with 1/day Flame Weapon, and a Noose of Death - on hit, save vs fort each round or die.
Fat is a fad, it'll pass.
Guys, I am not opposed to there being lots of fat guys, regardless of what RwG's lying mouth may have lead you to believe. I just think a fat-guy-strangler would be an amazing concept right now, and encouraging a concept like that with a bonus for Cannibals against the Obese would be amazing. I am not pushing some kind of fascist roleplaying agenda!
Or at the very least a dietist.
Also, someone was trolled.
