[QUOTE="ferratus, post: 6052930, member: 55966"] I find it absolutely hilarious that everyone said they wanted individual monsters and monster subtypes to be visually distinct a few columns ago, but now everyone is clamoring for the dryad and the nymph to look the same. Hypocrisy, thy name is D&D fans. Myself, I think all fey should be beautiful on the surface and have a monstrous form underneath. In 4e, I used minis that were beautiful females when the dryads were peaceful, and I brought out the freaky monstrous dryads when they wanted to turn humans into fertilizer and bury them under their oak trees. I liked the Pan's Labyrinth, Grimm fairy tale, old myths and folk legends direction the fey went in 4e. I like magic-eyed Formorian Giants, I like spriggans as twisted gnomes, I like dryads as monsters, and I like the realm of the faerie to be ethereal and deadly. Now you can have 10 different varieties of pretty elf ladies for your fey, but I prefer them not to be pretty, but only look that way... with different attacks and combat abilities other than "oh look, you are fascinated because they are pretty and thus duplicate the charm person spell".
