[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 419496, member: 7177"] Nexus Towers Well, I do hope to make it more distinctive - see my recent threads on [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27370]mind flayers[/URL] and [URL=http://enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=26851]ghouls[/URL], for example. They don't [i]change[/i] D&D "canon", but they do add for it. Then my takes on the PC races - here is an excerpt about elves: [i]" Elves have a lot of advantages over humans and other shorter-lived beings - and they know it. They are longer-lived, usually more attractive, don't need to sleep, are very talented in the magical arts, and the experience accumulated over the centuries of their existence means they can do just about anything, and do it with style. Typcally, elves see humans as interesting toys, pets, irrelevant, or a threat to their way of life. Few elves, even those of a generally benevolent nature, take humans seriously on an individual basis - after all, there are hundreds of millions of them around, so how important can a single one be? Elves travel to human cities and realms more often than one might expect - young elves (usually not more than a century or two of age) go there to celebrate, observe these interesting little creatures, and generally "sow their oats" before moving back to the elven realms and assuming a position of responsibility (as much as there are positions of responsibility in elven realms).
