Make them that charisma spellcasting stat specialist (even if it does only really affect it for 3 levels, then an ASI catches it right up). Eladrin in pre-4e tended to have high charisma instead of intelligence, even in 2e when the spellcasting stat for arcane magic was intelligence, the various eladrin would often have higher charisma. The previous version in the DMG I didn't really think about it, but this version seems to be closer to the classic notion of the Eladrin and I think Charisma might be a better fit for them. I find the associated fluff also inspires a bit of world building, I could have done this anyway but now I also have a mechanical reason for it.The Four Eladrin courts: Lady of Autumn, Lord of Winter, Lady of Spring, Lord of Summer. Their Servants: The Lord of Winter is served by the Prince of Frost, and the Lady of Sorrow. The Lady of Spring is served by Puck, an eladrin who typifies mischief and merriment. The Lord of Summer is served by the Shining Legion, knights known for their skill at arms. Who is the Lady of Autumn served by? I have no idea, this was all just off the top of my head. I'm just really loving the change to Eladrin. I might even bring in the old names of Tulani, Ghaeles, Bralani, Novieres, and Shieres. The fact that it has got me thinking about world building means that, to me, this is a positive change to the elven subrace.</blockquote>
