[QUOTE="CanadienneBacon, post: 6767760, member: 11146"] It sounds like you are looking for the equivalent of the 3.x feat [url=http://www.d20srd.org/srd/feats.htm#blindFight]Blind Fight.[/url] Not sure if you played 3.x? Let me know if Blind Fight is akin to what you intend. If I remember correctly, one of Blind Fight's uses is that it lets a melee combatant fight without penalty in darkness. I grok what you're attempting with blending Wood Elf and Human Variant, but think you get where you need to be by taking Human Variant and one of these feats from the PHB: Mobile, Keen Mind, Alert, Grappler, Athlete, Durable, Resilient, or Observant. Most of those address one aspect or another of what you've described of Haruchai. Mobile grants the additional speed (10') you are after. Alert removes surprise, prevents advantage against Brinn from hidden foes, and grants a whopping +5 to init. To my eye, there is no singular feat/race combo in the published material that gives you all of what you're looking for (though Mobile, Keen Mind, and Alert or Observant all seem relevant and helpful). I skimmed SCAG and didn't see any crunch in there that helps with what you are driving at with prioception. (I did, however, think a couple of Backgrounds might be good for Brinn: Far Traveler, and Inheritor.) I will skim the UA articles tonight; if I see a feat or a race that I think nabs the essence of what you're driving for, I'll pipe up (you look, too?). [B]TLDR:[/B] What you want makes sense, but may not exist in the source material I've provided. Let's dig through the material a bit more to see what we can find, and then you'll have a choice to make. Onward! I think we're in agreement. All of this sounds beautifully in character to me. And is absolutely do-able. Yay! You said conflate! Among lawyers, funnest word ever, right? :) Nodding. I wonder what Brinn will think of the innate sense of superiority drow elves have? Can see it being both something he'd relate to and something that would be an irritant. Super cool to watch you three at work, collaborating. Can't wait to see what you create. [/QUOTE]
