Special Conversion Thread: Finishing off the fey

[freyar]

That does sound a bit complicated.

Are there any bloodline feats in the online SRDs?

 

[Cleon]

That sounds a bit too exception-based for my tastes.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

OK then, in that case shall we just make them a race with a few SLA. Perhaps water breathing and invisibility as at-wills and ALL the tricks from the fey major bloodline?

Then we could do a sample Sidhe characters with a 1st level Commoner Sidhe and a couple of highish level (9th?) Leader Sidhe with an appropriate selection of classes.

How about focusing on a prestige class. I'm thinking Arcane Archer for the "Warrior", Arcane Trickster for the "Rogue".

If we give them water breathing as a SLA, does that satisfy the 3rd level spell prereq of Arcane Trickster? If it does, they'd only need to be a Rogue 4/sorcerer 1 to qualify for Arcane Trickster, instead of the usual rogue 4/sorcerer 6.

 

[freyar]

Oof, I can't remember if SLAs count for spell prereqs. But I might be persuaded to go with that description of the race (we can haggle over whether to include all the tricks from the bloodline or not). I'm not sure if we need 4 samples, though.

 

[Shade]

SLAs do not meet prereqs, but the point is moot anyway since the prestige class in question is only open to elves and half-elves.

The fey bloodline is in the SRD here. I think automatically granting one of those bloodlines would be simpler and more elegant than crafting a whole new SLA progression. Anyone else?

 

[freyar]

Yes, probably granting the major bloodline makes sense. And we just tack on a few extra things.

 

[Shade]

OK, so starting ability score adjustments? +2 Dex, +2 Cha?

 

[freyar]

Works for me. A thought on the bloodline: perhaps they get the bloodline but don't have to pay bloodline levels?

 

[Shade]

That could work, as long as we factor that into the level adjustment.

 

[freyar]

Hmm, then it's not quite free. Might as well just include the bloodline levels in that case, right?

 

[Shade]

I suppose so.

This is one of those rare creatures that doesn't really convert well to 3e, eh?
