[QUOTE="HeavenShallBurn, post: 3227770, member: 39593"] [b]Do Nazi Elves Count?[/b] In my homebrew elves aren't THE ENEMY because they've basically got their own continent. But I heavily borrowed from the old Nazi propaganda machine for their society. They're authoritarian and tend toward loosely hereditary dictatorships with a stong racial purity theme as they consider themselves a better race and wish not only to perfect themselves but remake the world in their own image. Engage in campaigns of ethnic cleansing against other races who are a minority of that region. For their technology and equipment I borrowed heavily from the un-named alien menace in the sci-fi book Face of the Enemy. Very biologically oriented. Their structures are grown from living plants altered through alchemy and magic. Weapons are often not only biological but actually alive. Example, instead of a thrown weapon they will have two or three Tiny giant beetles perched on their shoulders or back that take off, fly to an enemy bite them and fly back to their perch. Or instead of a bow a giant spiny inchworm caterpillar holding onto both ends of a long stick that they thrust in the direction of the enemy and it sprays out a small flight of spines that have the same effect as a bow(some are poisonous). Armor that is actually a symbiotic hardshelled landcrab. Latched onto their forearm where a shield might go is an ugly flattened Small spider (a very light one) that can spit a mild acid. Instead of hurling flasks of alchemist's fire they hurl tiny millipedes curled up in a ball that land and release a burning gas then bite for a round or two before retreating toward their handlers.
