[QUOTE="ssampier, post: 5179714, member: 10205"] [B]More Muddy Ideas[/B] High Elves Since the destruction of their Temples and sacred forests, High Elves are without a permanent homeland. The diaspora has forced elves to be adaptable. They live wherever suits them, sometimes in large elven communities in the forest, but not often. Each elf develops a Life Pursuit, a goal to attain in their lifetime. Elves are individualistic and have a variety of Life Pursuits including the arts, music, magic, faith, or warfare. The diaspora hasn't changed High Elven religious belief. High Elves frequently build large elaborate "Fire Temples" wherever they go. The Temples are beautiful structures, white, clean and simple. In the terms of stats, Life Pursuit probably gives bonuses to skills and feats. I haven't decided how to implement this yet. The Elf God is a NG deity granting at least Fire and Water cleric domains. The Shadow kin is an LE malevolent force that opposes the Elf God and other good. Dark Magic Evil, vile, twisted stuff. The stuff of the Necronomicon and other books. Ideally anyone, even fighters and rogues, should be able to cast Dark Magic. I haven't figured out the stats yet. I didn't like changing divine or arcane magic to fit. Dark Magic should be a third magic source. As for the other ideas... Halfling gypsies could make sense. I will need do a little bit of research since I know next to nothing about the culture; it should be fun. As for elves, I them pictured as part of a common religious and ethnic diaspora. They worship a monotheistic god, but is different from the Lothians in tone and alignment. [I]Your ideas intrigue me and I wish to subcribe to your newsletter.[/I] I was thinking the Wild Elves aren't so nice. The Wild Elves are generally a Chaotic Neutral alignment and frequently work with "Dark Magic". But just like most things the extreme ones are the ones who get the most attention. The wild elf preferred class is druid. [/QUOTE]
