[QUOTE="Rystil Arden, post: 3098704, member: 29014"] Right--I do agree, but my definition in post 1 is much tighter than the ones proposed later on: The GM thinks to herself whether or not the creature was initially created by magic. For constructs, this is almost always going to be true. Also so for many undead (those raised by animate dead or negative energy fonts, but not a ghost or revenant who was simply tied to world by unfinished business). For fey and elementals, this would be true if they were spontaneously generated by magic, but a pixie who is the daughter of two other pixies would certainly not count, and a water elemental that was merely summoned here by a Planar Binding would not either--elementals that would count might be sentient extensions of the towers, magic elementals that leak from the ley lines, fey beings of pure magic and concept-fey of magic (perhaps Sidhe, if anyone uses them, for instance). Magical beasts and aberrations would not count for the most part (unicorns and the like), but if there happens to be one that is the result of a twisted experiment or a magical explosion or the like, the GM can certainly choose to count it. Dragons and humanoids would never count except in very very rare circumstances (spelltouched humans with a custom template the GM is using, or a custom dragon formed of raw magic, or something like that).
