[QUOTE="edbonny, post: 391880, member: 1119"] [b]MM2: Templates vs. Fey-Touched[/b] For me, it's not about being easy. It's about taking the time to do it right by designing really cool things for D&D. :) That said, a half-fey template is an excellent idea but given the wide variety of fey and woodland humanoids, a single, generic half-fey template does a disservice to that variety (a variety which I really enjoy). Off the top of my head if I was to create half-fey templates, I would design them much like the half-golems with some half-fey being more fairy-like, some half-fey empowered with the elements, some half-fey as flora-based creatures and others favoring the fauna side of nature. I am a huge fan of half-breeds and cross-breeds. Things like the tannaruk (demon-orcs), fey'ri (demon-elves), genasi, etc. bring about new possibilities because they combine old favorites. And I wanted to bring combos I enjoyed to the MM2: the durzagon (devil-duergar), chaond and zenythri are my guys. In addition to the one I submitted for the MM2. I have a few cool feytouched ideas in my head (but they need developing). BTW: One mostly forgotten half-fey/half-fiend already exists from created way back then during the first edition. It is from the original Fiend Folio: the forlarren. I believe it exists online here in one form or another. - Ed Bonny [/QUOTE]
