[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4597384, member: 19675"] Another race that would work well for mist-dwelling are Dwarves. RAW, they already have a high resistance to poison. All you need to is boost it a bit. Which brings me to another thing this reminded me of: The Classic Trek episode "The Cloud Minders." ([url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cloud_Minders]The Cloud Minders - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url]) This is the episode in which the dwellers in the cloud city reap all the benefit of a mineral mined by "Troglodytes"- the process of mining which mineral releases toxic gasses. Porting that into your setting, the mineral in question would have to be of high value- iron, perhaps, but possibly something like the Cavorite I mentioned earlier. The Dwarves would be miners, relatively or completely immune to the toxic gasses that the mining process released. But this mining-liberated gas gradually also drove the other races higher and higher up the mountaintops... Coupled with the Warforged, it could be that the 'Forged are the actual miners, while the Dwarves maintain their "traditional" role of master forgers and craftsmen. [/QUOTE]
