[QUOTE="Blue, post: 7428521, member: 20564"] That was actually a fairly large plot point in a pair of 3.0/3.5 campaigns I ran. Immortal beings (my elves and dragons didn't die of age) had spirits, but that also meant that their base nature was immutable. One of the reasons why chromatic dragons were always evil. (And that my orcs were NOT irredeemable and just murderhobo fodder). Elven spirits returned to a great vessel of spirits, and newborn spirits were dipped from the Pool of Souls, combining bits of lots of other ones. But I had multiple elven "court" demiplanes that went in and out of conjunction with the prime material plane, and for all of the first campaign none were connected - so the elves were all ones exiled/abandoned. And they had a really small vessel of souls - literally an elf had to die for another to be born, and those around a while would voluntarily suicide to allow enough souls in the vessel to allow "mixing". In the second campaign a new Court was in conjunction, and the party actually found the Pool of Souls and used it effectively as supercharged material components. They also swam through it to get to the Pool on the prime material to return home, absorbing bits. (Many learned elvish or some other skill, and picked up quirks). [/QUOTE]
