[QUOTE="rhm001, post: 3975307, member: 48494"] While I'm willing to agree on Avariels and Saurils (heck, they're supposed to be in *1* valley in FR, right?), I think sea-elves have a lot of potential in a PoL campaign. If the idea is that civilization has been thumped by all of these dark forces and is trying to recover, I think there's a lot of potential in a Savage Tide/Lovecraftian game, where you have costal human and halfling (a halfling New Orleans-style trading city, hmm...) PoLs trying to help sea-elven guerillas stave off the [sahaguin, aboleth, any number of potential 4e MM races] invasion that has captured most of their cities and is threatening to "come on to the beach," as it were. (Add in "Lovecraftian" w/ hybrids running some of the human or sea-elf PoLs, and the surprise when PCs figure it out...). For that, it's nice to know what you're working with and have a decent starting point, whether you're doing it as a campaign and have sea-elf PCs or are doing it as a "stop over" between dungeons and just want a better idea of how to write up the sea elves and their (still-held and conquered) cities. I'll grant you that it might not be PHB2-strength, but I'd call it somewhere betwen that and "marginal". [/QUOTE]
