[QUOTE="QuietBrowser, post: 7338870, member: 6855057"] So, long story short, I loved the Eladrin in 4th edition, but their recent appearance in Unearthed Arcana? Well, it left me feeling cold. Doesn't do the race justice at all. Still... I think there's some untapped potential here. Back in 4e, the Feywild was ruled over by the Court of Stars, a great byzantine conclave of archfey and their loyal minions, divided into various factions; the Summer Fey, the Winter Fey, the Green Fey, the Gloaming Fey, and the Sea Lords. And Eladrin belonged to all of those factions, taking on distinctive traits as a result. This was even given a nod for players with the Winterkin Eladrin variant race. Now, the odds of WoTC bringing back Eladrin as their own race, with subraces based on courtly affiliation, are pretty much nonexistent. But, hey, if I like the idea, why not write it up myself? So, that's what I'm here to do; I'd love to have help in tweaking this race and making it stand on its own - without being overpowered. Or underpowered, because I actually tried to be cautious with the subrace abilities here.
