Limiting the power of a character and making the overall difficulty of the game harder, does not reduce the creativity, indeed it does quite the opposite.
The Game Master has the option to use any and all of the instances proposed in this guide, or just some of them according to their preference.

It is the lack of something that move and motivate characters, not the abundance of it

DESCRIPTION

A wild stag is a large and graceful creature that resembles a deer with golden fur and platinum antlers. Some cultures admire and respect wild stags for their beauty and elegance, while others hunt them for their valuable trophies. Wild stags are wary and cautious, and can sense danger from afar. They have a keen sense of smell, hearing, and vision, and can communicate with other stags through sounds and gestures.

COMBAT

A wild stag avoids combat whenever possible, using its speed and agility to outrun enemies. However, if cornered or attacked, it can fight back with its powerful hooves and horn. A wild stag can also use its antlers to fend off predators or rivals. A wild stag is especially protective of its herd and its territory, and will challenge any intruder that threatens them.

HABITAT / SOCIETY

A wild stag lives in open forests, where it forms a small herd with other wild stags. The herd is led by the strongest and most dominant stag, who mates with the females and drives away the competitors. A wild stag is territorial and competitive, and will often clash with other stags over resources or mates. A wild stag can form a bond with a loyal companion, such as a dog or a horse.

ECOLOGY

A wild stag is a herbivore, feeding on grasses, berries, nuts, and other plants. It has a positive impact on the forest, as it helps spread seeds, fertilize the soil, and control the population of rodents and insects. A wild stag is also a source of wealth, as its fur, antlers, meat, and leather can be sold or traded for a high price. However, hunting a wild stag is not easy, as it is swift, alert, and cunning.
