[QUOTE="Pssthpok, post: 3601979, member: 34725"] My thoughts exactly. Or is it heretical to say that in this thread? :p But seriously. The way I look at it, fey as a type seems to cap out once it blurs into outsiders or elementals. At a glance, it seems like they are sorta like watered down elemental spirits with a touch of thematic elementalism to them (forest spirits, river spirits, etc.). They don't hold true to either the moral/ethical castes that the true outsiders have, nor do they stick to pure Pre-socratic elementalism like the Primary Four. Look, dante, don't get mad; I like fey, I just don't see a lot of epic use for them. By the time a fey hits that level of power I can't see them doing the things that weaker fey do without changing type. To be an Epic spirit of the Forest; one would have to be the spirit of the entire planet's forest biome, and that smells more like a god of forests to me. To be an Epic fey of the rivers one would have to be a powerful water elemental or a god. Fey are like the sparks that come off the fires of the gods, or the leavings of greater elemental spirits. Do what you want, but don't go ranting and screaming on me because I chimed in, inoffensively. I'd like to see what anyone could do with the type, but I tend to agree with UK on it (or he agrees with me, since I said it first :p ), that fey have all the indications of an Outsider subtype, and IMO they should be treated as such. That doesn't mean that you can't work on the themes that the fey present, but it does mean that I don't think there's a lot of room for the Type as a whole before you're forced to go to either Outsider or Elemental.
