[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 6434356, member: 63508"] I mean how they are formed and how they organized (which they don't). The Planescape Monster book didn't say if they are born or if they are created or if formed out of dead CG people (Or I didn't remember reading it). And the eladrins just being CG angel variant who look like smushed elves and sprites. The flavor wasn't strong outside of Planescape. Eladrin for the most part served only 2 roles before 4th: an enemy for evil PCs to spice up their adventures and to sot fill the CG paragon. They were so easy to co-opt. Same with Archons. In Planescape, they were important. Everywhere else..... eh. So the designers probably saw the gamble was worth it. Make them fey, make the PC version the novice version of eladrin, and run with that. Couldn't be worse that a dozen types of elves, right? Or having dwarves be better wizards than PHB elves again, right? Oh elves. You are so bad, elves. [/QUOTE]
