[QUOTE="EOL, post: 103162, member: 823"] In Dragon 294 the editor talks about playing a Darkmantle barbarian, from my perspective this is not as odd as that, and only slightly more unusual than playing a Gensai of some sort. Additionally I like to experiment with new things and I think monsters as characters may be a bad idea, and an Air Elemental as a PC may be an exceptionally bad idea, but I'd like to give it a shot and see. In Dragon 293 with all the ECL's all the Elemental's have the same ECL, as such you would assume a certain degree of equality. If one (the earth, and that may be disputable) can wear any equipment then shouldn't the others be able to, and since Equipment is such a big deal, if they can't shouldn't it be reflected in their ECL? Okay I realize I'm working with Minutia here, but to rephrase the question what about a shifter PrC? You may think the idea of an Elemental PC to be fairly ludicrious, but the idea of a Shifter becoming an Elemental should be more mainstream, would they be able to use thier equipment when they turn into an Earth Elemental? What about Water? Since they can meld their equipment into their form the question of losing everything during a whirlwind is less pressing. [/QUOTE]
