[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 6338654, member: 2012"] Definitely not a blood elf. That race really isn't meant for a standard campaign. A gray elf PC would be very unique in the setting. The other elven subraces would consider your PC a mystery (or even a myth, depending on the region). For example, I can honestly say that Lorien hasn't met a gray elf in his lifetime even though there are gray elves living in the Kingdom of the Silver Leaves and the Greystone Mountains. They're that rare. Humans would likely consider your PC to be just another elf unless he/she met a human sage. That person would be [U]very[/U] interested in your PC (it could get scary). Dwarves from the Greystone Mountains would consider the PC haughty, but the hill dwarves of the Strandlands would likely react favorably to him/her, as long as the PC doesn't lord over them. Here's an idea. What about a elf who has one silver elf parent and one gray elf parent? The gray elf parent likely had to move away from his/her kin in the mountains to be with his/her mate in the Great Forest. Your PC was the result -- a very rare hybrid elf. I would say use the stats of a gray elf from the MM but you could chose languages and favored class options from both subraces. Wizard would be a perfect class for such a PC. I've never used them myself, but I could allow it. Remind me, what official sourcebook(s) are those in? How does it work exactly? Questions are good. i have a lot of material about the world, so if you need anything clarified, I'm more than happy to respond. Note that I tend to write a lot in response so if you feel I'm giving you too much info, tell me to dial it back. Heh. :D That seems right. I tend to not pull punches when danger looms so good ability scores are a must for my campaigns. Your Pcs starting equipment should match whatever is the DMG. I'm assuming that's where you got 19,000 gp. I might have given bonus equipment when the game started, but I can't remember. I'll take a look through the threads to refresh my memory. [/QUOTE]
