[QUOTE="Casimir Liber, post: 8349791, member: 6947639"] O-kay, well how's this for an idea: (I don't have my fairy books but IIRC Danish Ellefolk are ones with beautiful women and ugly misshapen men) So - many centuries ago an ambitious elven princess/minor lord made a pact with an eldritch/elder being for power. As she had no love of men she sacrificed the beauty and essence of the males of her tribe for a gift of innate power for the females. So the tribe grew in power - with beautiful, athletic and powerful females (could have +2 STR, -2 WIS and some feats/cantrips), but the males suffer pronounced scoliosis, though remain physically strong (-2 DEX, +2 STR, -4 CHA). The eldritch being from pandemonium gains essence from Primal Chaos warping though the spirits of all males in teh tribe/nation. This could also explain half-elves in this campaign as the female elves seek out humans at a pinch to mate with - their male half-elven children somehow immune to the chaos-decay or full-blooded males. Also explains the hatred the males and some females of this tribe have for all other humans/elves as they're enraged by some of their tribe "outbreeding". In my milieu the being would be a CN/E being (Loki/Xiombarg/Arioch) more chaotic than outright evil, maybe even a limbo resident. Campaign quest - sever the link between the being and the essence of the tribe [/QUOTE]
