[QUOTE="RealAlHazred, post: 6748648, member: 25818"] [b]Originally posted by Syltorian:[/b] I have, though some time ago. I have picked it up and browsed through it again, but as I said in my other thread, it has been a busy week. Thanks! Elves with the fey template it is, especially considering the races [i]are [/i]related. The concept itself I understand, but still, few of these fey lords and ladies in the [i]Fading Dream[/i] seem to be good, except possibly Tira and the Lord of the Spire of Emerald Lights. Not even these embody it. They care, strongly, about their own people, but are not champions of freedom and goodness as the members of the 3.5 Court of Stars were. So can I this solve this by claiming that are the "freedom-fighter" Eladrin of 3.5 simply a prominent group in one of Thelanis' realms, but not, as hitherto thought, the only one - leading the planar scholars to reach the wrong conclusions until the feyspires appeared? And strip the "good" subtype from the others? I perfectly agree. Tied to this, I've always found that class abilities should not be limited to the accompanying fluff. You don't need to be from a tribal culture to lose yourself in battle-rage; bards need not be performers: there were enough inspiring politicians who could get crowds and armies to follow them without ever singing on stage.
