[QUOTE="Deadstop, post: 4172450, member: 61557"] It seems likely that the "origin" types correspond to parts of the 4e cosmology: Aberrant = hailing from the Far Realm Elemental = hailing from the Elemental Chaos (including the Abyss) Fey = hailing from the Feywild Immortal = hailing from a Dominion of the Astral Sea Natural = hailing from the natural world Shadow = hailing from the Shadowfell Are both eladrin and elves Fey in origin, or have elves reverted to Natural after so much time away from the Feywild? If the former, we could also say that one has the origin-type of one's ancestors, even if one was personally born elsewhere in the cosmos. Overall, I like this more focused system of types. It will take a bit of getting used to from longtime 3e fans, that's for sure, but the division between origin and shape/form/type allows for a much more varied classification of beings, and turning some old types into subtypes (e.g., Dragon and Giant) allows them to be classified with similar beings while still retaining their special classification.
