[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 2820077, member: 1241"] And I think "serene and meditative" is the way I like them - at least, most of the time. :) I could also see them being friendly, jovial, mischievous, or destructive as the situation warrants. That said, I'd like to solidify their role as that of being guardians/guides of the souls of dead fey. They can ask for help from the spirits on occasion if needed, but mostly they are the ones doing the helping. And they most certainly take the Neutral view of death, that it is a natural part of life. I agree that calling them "necromancers" does not work for me, in the sense of negative connotations. I would consider giving them some limited power over life and death though, either for its breath weapon(s) or for its spell-like abilities. Its breath weapon would come out as a prismatic effect, which could look something like Aurora Borealis. It could do any of the effects that Conaill mentioned (feat, deathwatch, enervation, harm, ray of enfeeblement, waves of exhaustion, energy drain), or something else. We could make it a typical breath weapon, or like I suggested earlier it could mimic the cloud breath weapon of an iron golem. I think it was also suggested that the breath could cause a fascination or hypnosis effect. I could see the breath causing more than one effect simultaneously, or multiple possible effects caused one at a time, as chosen by the bear. Discuss! :) So yea or nay on the third flying "star-bear" spooky form? The latest revision of the base idea: This neutral fey creature claims to be the guardian of the world's poles, though its true purpose remains a mystery to most. In reality, this creature is the appointed guardian of the aurora borealis, which is used as a pathway (or signal?) for the spirits of other fey to reach the afterlife. This creature's task is to guide the spirits to their destination, and to protect these holy places sacred to fey. Its natural form is that of an oversized polar bear, with eyes and mouth that seem to open up into the black void of night. It has the ability to assume the form of a wizened gnome-sized humanoid when it wishes to speak to sentient creatures. This form's skin appears to be ebony, dotted with pinpoints of white starlight like a cosmic field of stars. [/QUOTE]
