Will you make transsexual Elves canon in your games ?

[Coroc]

Since my prefered lore for standard settings is mostly approx. 2nd ed, I would eventually have to retcon this a bit if it were to come up. And that is when one of my players would want to play one of these blessed elves. Since i do not see that very likely i do see no needs for it in my game.
[MENTION=37815]Ganders[/MENTION] whoa (besides a good laugh ) you might not be that wrong, given the connection between drow and spiders you could do something similar with standard elves and say... butterflies, so that egglaying might not be so off. Let us construct something like a drider, would that be a belf or an utterfly?

Since we are at that Topic how do unicorns procreate ? (Duck and cover ) )

Unicorns get horny.

That quote is missing the trademark Goldblum "uh"!

Blood of the Ancients
Prerequisite: Elf
You are immortal and have inside you blood of kings. You have no rival, and no one can be your equal.
When you are reduced to 0 hit points, you automatically stabilise. On your turn, you can choose to roll a death saving throw, but do not die no matter how many failures you roll. You can be killed if you suffer a critical hit from a melee weapon that deals slashing damage while you are at 0 hit points.

I think you should change the title of your feat to "Princes of the Universe". Also, in the feat text, I think it could be improved with adding a "yeah!" inbetween the first and second sentences.

I understand, but I'm curious: how would you justify it in your game world ?

Justify? There is no need, you either make it a part of your world or you don't. It fits in well with established elven lore in D&D, and it makes elves more different than humans . . . which is a good thing. Too often various D&D races are just humans with pointy ears, short and cheerful humans, short and grumpy humans, short mischievous humans, humans with devilish features, humans with fur, claws, and pointy teeth . . .

I find it amusing how this idea bothers some of the folks in this thread, and the contortions some are going through to say "no".

Didn’t want it to be too obvious...

Yeah, you're probably right. Don't lose your head!

They aren't transgendered or transgendered, they are more magigendered, because their is no real would human eqivilant to people who can change their biological sex daily whenever they feel like it.

But you can have more like real life transgendered characters of any race, that is pure RP, not mechanics unlike blessed of Corellon Larethian.

Honestly if I was to play a character with this elf ability to change genders instead of playing it as a gender bending elf, I'd have one gender as the actually character, and the other as his anima, a second personality created from the firsts repressed desires and fantasies and fears, that only appears infrequently when the main personality desides to call her forth. That would go especially cool with Shadar Kai.

Or maybe an Eladarin who has a different personality for each combination of season and gender.

I am immediately reminded of the movie 'Dr. Jekyll and Ms. Hyde'.

In my campaign, being creatures of timeless unchanging eternity is a big part of the high elves' schtick, so a special feature that lets them change their bodies doesn't make a lot of thematic sense. Wood elves, who left the Fey Realms because they decided they rather like time and change, might be interested, but no more or less so than any other mortal. So if I were to implement this, it wouldn't be an elf thing, it'd just be a thing. The most immediately obvious responsible party would be the gender-fluid trickster god, but as a blessing, it might be more likely to come from someone who isn't a complete scoundrel.
