[QUOTE="cbwjm, post: 7310131, member: 6788732"] [b]Race as Class: The Elf[/b] Just as something fun to do, I created a 10 level class for elves (kind of an homage to the old BECMI elf) which takes many ideas from earlier editions as well as slightly building on the racial stats of each subrace. It's not necessarily well balanced between subraces I've mainly just smashed out some ideas, but I think it would be a fun class to play as a one shot. I've actually been playing around a bit in trying to create an elf class, from making a full 20 level half-caster to creating an enchanting sorcerer subclass that draws upon their fey heritage, nothing really quite felt right and then I found an old document that had notes on my Genasi elemental tempest class as well as a few sentences on other ideas for creating racial paragon classes for other races. That eventually led to the current 10 level elf class which had started out as 5 levels, then moved to 6, then I just caved and made it 10. Notes on the class. It is a full caster with a subclass ability that ties into race. Each race emphasises a specific type of combat. Dark elves are more melee, high elves mix magic & swordplay, and wood elves are deadly with a bow. Spells are based on the subclass: High elves learn druid spells and limited wizard spells, wood elves learn druid and ranger spells, and dark elves learn cleric and warlock spells. [/QUOTE]
