I was replying to the part about it didnt fit a gritty medieval setting at all, which I feel the Deryni series is. Sorry for the confusion.

You asked for an example.

Who is the Elder on this forum anyway? I remember someone had me beat by about 4 years a while back.

sadly, this is true.

62 in the summer. Just to wave my happy flag, I have a military retirement and will be collecting SS early, and playing video games, going to the gym and Dnd for the rest of my life. (reading Scifi, fantasy books goes without saying.)

Hey, look into the Deryni series by Katherine Kurtz.

Youngster....get off my lawn. /jk

Magic has also been "debunked" hasn't it? Yet we still tell stories with it as a concept.

Well, its not like I've every watched ANY of them end to end one sitting. I listen while running or diving mostly.

Dune reference!

Some people use it as "oooo shiny" like easily distracted by mere glitter and gold.

I really use some of that flavor in my DnD campaign. Remember that ruby colored lance that blew apart the Straits of Gilbralter? My "Ancient Ones/Elder Race" has psi tech like that.

Are y'all talking about Julian May's books?

Well to be honest, I get tired of explaining it over and over again. Every couple of years someone asks the same question that you do. And you are valid to do so because you want to understand. (Not directed at you) It just makes me feel I have to justify myself over and over again.

I have custom rakasta for the baseline. Once Tabaxi and Leonin were published, I used them as species/cultural variations in different parts of the world.

They dont even exist in my campaign.

Humans: 60% Elves: 20% Dwarves: 10% Gnomes: 5% Lizardmen, Rakasta, Tengu: 5% ish

Hit it with a Glitter Boy Boom Gun from Rifts.

Which to be honest, terrified my group even more. I have some aboleth spawn (actual small cat fish size) in my underdark. They swarm. While exploring an underground city, they could smell "seawater" and found huge adamantine locked doors, and 10 foot pile of dead and dried "catfish"...

so its gamified association with generic bad lich was considered derogatory and best left alone. Thank you.
