Oh, I do have two smaller questions! (Sorry, I realized I posted this in the wrong place at first.)
1. In EarthSpark, Terrans need to recharge with water from a particular cave every so often in order to not die; it's basically the only food or drink any of them need, but they do at least occasionally need it. I know you said that characters would need to deal with dietary requirements the same as back home, but I'm not 100% sure how to replicate that here. Would it be reasonable to say that any water in Pumpkin Hollow works for this recharging, or water from a particular place/source, especially since their physiology has changed some to make them more steampunk-y? Or should this be a thing that Nightshade has to buy from the Shady Merchant? Should I make them able (or need to) drink or eat other things, so that any food scarcity events might affect them too, or is it fine if they're unbothered by things like that?
2. Much shorter question, but Nightshade seems to be around-about 12-14 feet tall in canon. Since you said characters "need to be made roughly person-sized," about how roughly would that be? I was thinking of making Nightshade a bit on the tall side compared to most humans, but I don't want to make them too tall. The world's tallest man was nearly 9 feet tall but even that seems like a lot; would 7 feet tall be more reasonable? Or a bit more normal human height?
