[QUOTE="Intense_Interest, post: 5103031, member: 65904"] The Elf race and all its offshoots is actually all single race that develops similarly during childhood. All Elf children (half elves, elves, eladrin, drow) begin as children for a good thirty to fifty years. However, during the time in which one becomes an adult they go through the [I]Deladra Fianhal[/I], in which each culture converts them to their race and they forget their childhood. Half-Elves are a result of either never having the [I]Deladra Fianhal[/I], or having it done incorrectly. This means that the Drow do very much enjoy kidnapping children to raise as their own. Dwarves are divided into two major philosophies- those that believe that Moradin was the first Dwarven King and all Kings afterwords are ascended to godlyness after death, and the apostates whom do give thanks to Moradin but aren't much into the regency-as-god thing. From the thread, I really like the Devas-as-subset of Humans thing, especially because it hints at a human racial god. Gonna have to incorperate that if anyone at the table wants to roll a Deva. Also Halfing-as-small-child makes me think that the re-roll a hit part is entirely because people are nervous about killing a kid. [/QUOTE]
