[QUOTE="Orius, post: 5715597, member: 8863"] I've used the tables a few times and it's pretty good for cranking out generic elfy names when needed. I suppose one could swap out or ignore some of the syllables on the table that they don't like or which doesn't fit their world. Was this the story about the warmongering nobles with missing limbs that enjoy their hot-air balloon wars? I think I read this story but I only vaguely remeber some aspects of it. I thought this was one of the more interesting dragons in the feature. Maybe they're half-elves? And you can't see that last guy's ears, so you could use him as a human or dwarf if you like the image. Some of these columns are still archived on the WotC site here: [url=http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/arch/pc]PC Portraits Online Archives[/url] This particular one doesn't seem to be in the archive anywhere though. But you could always link to the later sets when you get to them. It was a pretty useful feature, though some artists had better contributions than others, in partucular some artists when a bit overboard on the ink which made the portraits too dark. [/QUOTE]
