Imagine if this minotaur has a garden full of fierce dangerous plants, but when he harvests them, they each give whoever eats them a little buff. Consumable items are not popular with every group, but you could work out a way to present the plants harvest as discouted consumables. This way the minotaur's player can feel the garden has a real impact, instead of it just being a new way to get a treasure parcel. As a rogue, she might be uniquely skilled to spot a smuggling operation taking place via the gate. The warlord might be ok to spot security threats, but the hafling rogue might realise that there are a group of shady types who are moving very small vials of a potent fungus tinccture through the gate in various clever ways. This could be a drug, a poison, a component for a nasty ritual, or anything, really. This could even have security implications- imagine if the tincture comes from the halls of a fomorian king (or whatever the local villain is), and letting it be smuggeled into the city and sold could lead to an epidemic of addiction, madness and crime. A good angle here is motive. Why does this kid want power? Does he want it for greater motives, or is he just looking for an edge in a gang war? Is lear ok with that? What if the kid, having carefuly been taught dangerous magics by their master, then turns around and teaches the same magics to their whole gang, in a haphazard and extremly dangerous matter? What if this leads to a magical arms race amongst the local gangs? This is hard to figure without more info on how these factions work. How is this status determined? What if there was a large group within the city, who in theory were eladrin or drow, but in paratice, actually acted more like neutrals? Zahar could persuade them, or even trick them into being recognised as half breeds. Imagine if a group of eladrin were labeled as halfbreeds due to some busienss agreement they made (or perhaps zahar's naipulations), and then felt they had no choice but to back him, in order to ensure that they were protected from possibly repercussions of their change in status? Again, this really comes back to the way these factions and titles relate to one another. What kind of obligations do these groups have? How well do they relate to one another? Who stands to win and lose in such a union?</blockquote>
