[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5023588, member: 4937"] Yeah, ok, I could see that. I've had memorable Satyr NPC's, and Satyr's would be really unusual in civilization but probably would be recognized as fey after an initial argument over their nature and the summoning of scholar's for consultation. They could travel fairly freely, their personal habits aren't excessively anti-social, their outlook on life sufficiently 'human' to relate to, and the ammount of uproar they'd cause wouldn't be excessive, nor are they over the top in their power. I don't see alot here that makes them problimatic. Taking the 10% penalty into acount, I could see letting one in as a +1 LA race with no racial HD, and maybe one or two racial levels that could be optionally taken after the first to the get full suite of bonuses. Ok, now you've lost me. This has everything that makes a monster PC problimatic: they have severely anti-social personal habits, they are rightly feared and would be rightly persecuted when discovered, their outlook on life is too alien to fully understand, they would have severe difficulty integrating with any imaginable party regardless of composition, their power level is too far off the chart to easily integrate with +0 LA characters (+6 LA!) I can't imagine (and I'm not sure I want to) what you are going for here or why they are interesting in a way that say a predatory human wouldn't be. I have a hard time imagining you'd be playing a succubi, and would tend to believe that you were just playing a human in succubi drag and if not, then I have a hard time imagining how you'd get along with anything (given your chaotic evil nature). If you say so. I think that if you play a dryad with a portable tree, you've ceased to be a dryad. I'm not sure what you have going there that isn't found in a human or elf intensely connected to nature, but you certainly don't seem to have any inherently tree-ish nature left by that point.
