[QUOTE="Chaoszero, post: 4815800, member: 82248"] First, a little summary of my elfin races, if you will; (I use the 4e rules of the races) Elves - Based on a combination of pictish and apache culture. Elves are a druidic society, mostly using primal power classes and feeling the "breath" of the land to lend them their rage. They are guerrilla fighters, woodland ninjas so to speak. Eladrin - Based on WOW's blood elves and roman society. Eladrin are a militaristic and expansionis race with a complexe social structure which is maintained rigerously. They came from the feywild hundreds of years ago and now live in a large forest on the Kingdom's land. They value cunning, magical knowledge and, above all, loyalty to the race. Ok. I've been running my setting ever since 3rd ed and am surprised how many ideas 4e is bringing in that I was doing anyway (including the two different types of "elves"). IMC, the Arcane Archers were presented as an elven organization that works seperate from any governing body to dispense justice and fight orc, much like Faerun harpers. But now that the Eladrin are a more seperated civilization than elves (due to a few small 4e revisions) should the AAs be more appropriate for the eladrin? I opened up the MM2 for the first time today and saw the Arcane Archer in the eladrin section and it occured to me that the AAs may be better flavored that way. Should I continue to have them be Elves or the more magically inclined Eladrin? I'm sorry for the length of the OP. [/QUOTE]
