Traits
Pastiche allows Somatic Markings to take the shape of symbols, patterns, and intentional-looking designs.
Pastiche will never create offensive symbols, religious symbols, or writing/lettering in any language.
All other rules of Somatic Markings apply.
Somatic markings may not overlap or interact with Chimera - no more than 3 base colors may appear on any horse.
Only one of a horse's Traits (base color, modifier, or marking) may be affected by Somatic markings.
Somatic markings are not inherited, and do not affect a horse's genotype.
- Coat: Will show the color change caused by the changed trait.
- Mane and Tail: May be affected by the somatic color.
- Skin: May be affected by the somatic color.
- Eyes: No effect.
- Hooves: No effect.
Maximum Range:
- Minimum: Anomalies may be removed entirely, at no cost.
- Maximum: Up to 1/4 of the horse's visible area covered by Somatic markings.
Somatic Colors:
- On Foals: May "switch on" or "switch off" any one trait that is genetically possible from the parents, or express any base color gene (E/A) possible from the parents.
- On Imports: May "switch off" any one trait on the import genotype or show different base color genes (E/A). May not show any traits that the import does not have.
