Appearance: Bolo’s basic look is that of a slightly smaller than average elf. He has chestnut brown hair and green eyes. He has tufts of fur on the tops of his feet like a Halfling does. He has a tattoo of a tree on his chest and various tribal style tattoos along his body. Due to Bolo’s 1000 faces ability he can change his appearance at will and does so often. He typically dresses in a mix of Halfling and Elvish styles. Bolo is undergoing the changes to make him a Faerie. His ears are more Fey like and his eyes are even more slanted then an elf.

Combat: Bolo tends to think defensively. He will cast Dispel Magic or Greater Dispel Magic at the largest opponent before they can get an attack off if he can. From there he will switch into an elemental form and combine his combat abilities with his spell casting. His favorite form is the Air Elemental.

"Discerning Elf"? That racial combo screams "Level Adjustment" to this DM's eyes.

Well, he paid about 25,000 x.p. over time to get there, so that's at least one level, iirc. That sound you hear is the epic-level DM throwing caution (and most likely rational thought) to the winds. At Epic levels, things are very....different. As radically different from high-level play as that is to low-level. Essentially, the thresholds are 1-5, 5-10, 10-20, madness...I mean, Epic.

How the DM is going to put threat back in the game without hours of preparation, introduction of complete absurdity or slowly going insane is the current challenge. :p

How to make Bolo a Faerie
(Via the book Faeries By Bastion Press)

1. He will need to take the Feat Evolve (Not a problem. Now that I’m not using Verdant Lord I can drop the required Plant Control feat. (I’ll keep the turn plant ability as it has come in handy before.)

2. Spend 5,500XP to become a “Centered Elf”
· Immune to charm effects
· +4 insight bonus to all fear and compulsion effects
· +4 insight bonus to concentration checks.

3. Spend 6,000XP to become a “Fair Elf”
· +2 racial bonus to Charisma
· +4 insight bonus to Bluff, Diplomacy and Perform.

4. Spend 7,000XP to become a “Discerning Elf”
· +2 racial bonus to Wisdom
· Gain feat Iron Will
· +4 insight bonus to will saves versus illusion and enchantment effects.
· +4 insight bonus to Sense Motive

5. Spend 10,000XP to become a “Fey Elf”
· The Creatures’ type changes to “Fey”
· Gains Darkvision

All told the process will cost Bolo 28,500XP


So far I've spent 18,500XP.
The whole concept is that Bolo has learned that he is not really an Elf nor is he a Halfling any more so what is he? He has decided to take matters into his own hands and become something wholey other than either race.
I figured this was the best way to accomplish this and it also works in my love of the Fey.
I sort of see it as Bolo finaly realising the fact that he is becomming a creature of legend as are all the rest of the Meepites.

Very interesting. Is this the "Prestige Races" mechanic that Oathbound introduced?

-- N
That would be correct. It's a wonderful idea and much more elegant than just saying you get it in stead of leveling. It's like enchanting a magic item but the item is your character.
