[QUOTE="squibbles, post: 8150698, member: 6937590"] I guess I'm nitpicking--and I've avoided this point of argument so far--but that really seems like a noodley semantic distinction to me. Lets say, for sake of argument, that the folks at WOTC release Plane Shift: flibbity flobbity floop. In PS:FFF, the elves have +2 Constitution, +1 Charisma, and a grab bag of skill, weapon, and tool proficiencies--but don't trance or have sleep immunity. PS:FFF says they are elves, and reprints the elven accuracy feat. Nothing is particularly overpowered and the race+feat option is believable. Would you be unable to "agree that the thing [...] is mechanically an elf, as it's not designed as a subset of the elf rules in the PHB"? If the mechanics are fine and the fiction is believable on its face, what makes it especially objectionable? Is it just that there is no official permission from WOTC (yet)? [/QUOTE]
