I'm bad at this

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

My favorites are anything with a really unique form for the Fog God (Harpy, Shade, Werewolf, etc) and anything with a useful and unique ability for the Fourth God (Minotaur, Goblin, etc).

I'm generally neutral on the Fog God forms that add a couple things but aren't huge changes (Wendigo and Kelpie come to mind), and on Fourth God abilities that are either generic (one-day minion creation, ability to take human form) or have time limits that are too short to make them really useful (troll breathing underground, for example).

As for least favorites:

Fog God Vampire, Nymph, and Troll. None of these forms really add anything that that monster type couldn't have had otherwise. Most of the other fog forms give characters something they absolutely couldn't have had without it (wings for wendigo, another animal entirely for werewolf, etc) but these just seem to be bigger/stronger versions of what they already are.

Fourth God Werewolf. Boring. Get rid of a minor disadvantage, or...do something werewolves could already do because of pack instinct.

Fourth God Gargoyle. Agreeing that they kind of got the short end of the stick there. The short time limit on the first ability plus the fact that they have to kill for it just makes it useless. The second ability is totally cosmetic.

Fourth God Kelpie, Nymph, and Naga are kind of dull.
