And instead of a stinger, their tails end in a lamprey mouth. They pretty much SLAs such as Wall of Earth, meld into stone, and Shape Stone. With an INT score of 16, they are pretty smart. One of their most interesting aspects is that they can appreciate music. See they pretty much sing(hence the singer part in their names) and they have a pretty big appreciation for it. To the point that it's possible for a PC to pretty much "avoid" a confrontation against them via impressing them with a song. So being able to lock down a fight via a Performance check is pretty interesting. Of course there are catches, especially if your DM wants to add in complications See if they end up "liking" your singing too much or if they desire an "audience" for their own singing and choirs, you may end up being entombed in a stone block from the neck down, with your head pretty much left alone. And then your pretty much forced to listen to them sing until they grow tired of ya and eat ya. I technically want to play as one in 5E, which may prove a bit interesting. Pretty much using the Half-Elf as the base with something swapped out for Stonecunning. Slap on the College of the Opera Bard Subclass and there ya goish I guess?The next one up is the Ragewalker. War-torn fey that, instead of embodying nature like most fey, end up embodying the battlefield and are pretty much Berserker Fey when ya think about it. They are pretty much in a constant Barbarian rage, but they spread that rage all around causing everybody to go rage crazy. They are surrounded by floating weapons of the battlefield and any attempt to shoot ranged attacks at them will either cause the shots to get deflected by said floating weapons OR being deflected back at the shooter. The most unique thing about Ragewalkers is that they have a strange "kinship" with Living Spells so they are fully capable of gaining control and commanding Living Spells. They wear tight fitting metal armor and their main weapons are Spiked Chains, the Weapon Cloud that surrounds them, and few SLA abilities such as Blade Wall and Wall of Fire.</blockquote>
