[QUOTE="Lackhand, post: 4235807, member: 36160"] I agree. Spirits of the forest and field are totally fey for me. (it's the abs.) Even spirits of mountains and waterfalls, while they [i]could[/i] be Elemental Chaos-type-elementals, still seem like a better fit for the [s]spirit world[/s] Feywild. I think it's because of the themes I want the two distinct places to have. The Elemental Chaos is a braid of various fundamental (from a given point of view) building blocks -- iron, fire, stormclouds; maybe even thorns, bone, and blood. Certainly as you draw near The Chained One's prison, thorns, bone, and blood. The beings from that place just feel like they should represent that same fundamental [i]stuff[/i]. The Feywild, as the "magical mirror of the Material", feels like the proper home of the spirits of mountain, lake, field, fen, and forest. The whole theme is different, dealing more with direct analogues of terrain features, and leylines, fairy circles, and other such set-dressing that tie spiritual aspects to geography. That seems like a pretty reasonable gloss for spirit folk. I'd be perfectly okay with making one set of stats serve two masters, but I don't think that'll happen -- not a value judgment, just a statement of estimated probability. Monsters are compact; might as well publish 'em. I'm okay with Nature and Arcane and "Dudes from the Elemental Chaos" all harnessing neat lightning powers. I seem to recall a few Arcane spells that deal radiant damage, for example. So just "treading on thematic toes" probably isn't enough reason to collide 'em. [/QUOTE]
