The first is an 20th level Eladrin Feylock who multiclassed to Bard and took Darklock as a second pact at Paragon. He's a scion of the House of the Summer Fey, who dabbles in the death magic of The Raven Queen. He keeps his face hidden behind a blank, white mask. His implements are a +5 Shadowfell Blade Longsword (though he still has a preference for the Longsword of Summer) and a Rod of Corruption. The second is a 2nd level Changeling Cunning Bard, multiclassed to Warlord. He gives a boost to his allies' damage just by being in the room. Rather than beating on the opposition he taunts and tricks them, making them stagger into the path of his allies' weapons. When Essentials hits CB I'll likely rebuild him as an Eladrin though.You see, I grew up reading books like the Lord of the Rings series, Three Hearts and Three Lions, Scots and Irish folklore... To me, the 'classic' Elf isn't an Elf, he's an Eladrin. A Fey whose morality is frequently beyond the understanding of mere mortals. Who draws on the powers of nature and ancient Fey beings. Who believes that the world was created in a song. It has always bothered me that the tall and stately race of Elves, who thrive on misdirection and political intrigue, didn't get a charisma bonus. Well that's being remedied.In short, that's why I play Eladrin.</blockquote>
