Message: <blockquote data-quote="Technik4" data-source="post: 862673" data-attributes="member: 7211">First off, thanks for the comments. Every bit helps define it better in my own head, just thinking about it!The homeland of Thalos could be considered its own continent, but it is much smaller than the 2 main continents. Think if an island the size of Englad was circling Africa, thats kinda what I'm going for.The grey elves are hard for me to picture, they are racially torn because they delight in their own mastery of magic and what it can do for them, but inwardly long for their original forest homes. I don't picture them having gotten far enough from the beaten trail to forgo archery training and I think the choice between longsword and rapier is fine as is.It's kinda funny. Classically dwarves had a +2 con/-2 dex, the polar opposite of elves. My "old" race of dwarves has the 3e penalties, which are to cha, and my "new school" dwarves have the dex penalty.The stone dwarves have been fighting underground for centuries untold in an endless war with the dark elves. Their racial attack boni were altered to reflect fighting abberations and elves (normally dwarves have a +1 bonus against orcs and goblinoids). The thing I'm going back and forth on is taking away the Giant-Dodge ability, as they haven't fought giants for a very long time, this will also give the Drazen some advantage when stone dwarves come pouring out of the mountains.The dark elves they fought were not really all that dark, their skin was a dull gray, like stone. They have the moniker "dark elves" because they dwealt underground (and are also called "spider elves" for their spider fetish). Their bonus against elves would work against surface elves, and it will be interesting to see how long peace lasts between the stone dwarves and the grey and wood elves.I haven't been working on gnomes too much, they are the most advanced nation but also one of the smallest. They almost made it to the "minor nations" section, but I decided to put them with the dwarves. I plan on using the rules from the dmg, with some "magic guns" or "dragon rifles" possibly developed as the campaign continues.My campaign will actually be sort-of monk heavy. I plan on making an alternate neutral-based monk (as opposed to lawful based) which will represent the Thalos. The regular monk will be used by the eastern cultures of p'yong yang. Finally, the demon-bred gnolls have developed their own style of martial arts (couldn't resist, especially because I have a Gnoll Monk miniature <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />).Dragons are going to play a large part in the campaign's past, and possibly its future. There is are islands where dragons dwell more or less in harmony with each other. This may indeed be the place to put kobolds, sort of the servitor race of the evil dragons. I plan on the evil dragons to more or less inhabit their own islands by type, but the oldest (and defacto leader) is an ancient black wyrm.Good dragons have dwelt with the elves traditionally, but have not been seen in hundreds of years. Their progeny, the felldrakes remain in the care of the wood elves. There is also ample opportunity for half-dragon wood elves, as I have 2 half-dragon wizardy models.Once again, thanks for the input.Technik</blockquote>
