[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9415381, member: 23751"] I really like this sort of thing. One character of mine was a child of Kord. Every level his strength went up and he grew an inch in height. The thing is, I want some of it to be represented at first level. My character started with a high strength and was close to 7 feet tall to begin with. Sure he was human sized, but you could see the extraordinary part beginning. With those trolls, I'd want some sort of manifestation of where the sibling is going to go, right out of the gate. The mountain troll would be like 6'10" with hard, rock like skin or something. I don't agree with this. Darkvision and luck don't have to be magical. Even if you do count halfling luck as magical, it's not really inherently racial, but more of a blessing from their god(s). Not all races outside of human are magical. Some are for sure, but others are not. Concept absolutely matters, but it also needs to conform to the framework provided by the game. If the game elves don't meet the Norse elves that you want to be doable, you'll need to homebrew some stuff to achieve that kind of elf as part of your concept. The printed races are not going to be able to fit every elflike concept folks around the world will come up with. Tinkering will have to be done. [/QUOTE]
