D&D 4E Two Questions for the 4e Designers

[FabioMilitoPagliara]

You know, it's funny; it *felt* right when it was proposed, but I remember a good bit of nervousness about how the concept would be received. At least around here, it quickly became apparent how well the split works in play and world design, and how well it fits all of the already-established archetypes. I'm playing both an eladrin and an elf at the moment, and I love how culturally different they feel.

I liked it from the first moment I heard it

I always wanted Magic Elves different from Forest Elves... and now I got it

One of my players immediately said "I'm an Eladrin." Seems it's well received.

Peter Schaefer: What was the change to one of the races that you said would "raise some eyebrows around the office", and did you end up using it?

Wow. I vaguely remember saying that, now that you mention it, but I'm having trouble thinking what it could possibly be. I think that's because all the races feel right; none of them feel like anything to which anyone would object.

I could be off, but I might have been talking about when we exchanged the elf's and halfling's racial powers five or six months ago. It didn't take long before everyone agreed that the powers made more sense in their new homes, though, so maybe it was something else.

indeed they do make a lot of sense now!
