[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6157509, member: 92511"] Right there wit'cha. Definitely worth an initial consultation. One can never be too careful. lol. Not to derail the thread or start a debate. That's what you would prefer. That's fine and dandy. For the record, in case any designers are pokin' around here though, I feel the need to disagree. Myconids and Treants are easily portable to your faerie world/realms if you wish. Walking talking trees, mushrooms...flowers, whatever, are all good ole' fairy fun...shades of Disney's Fantasia and all of that. Heck, maybe there's some arch-fey-lord who delights in conjuring lightning storms to fill his realm with shambling mound guardians...I, personally, would fully expect to encounter a treant or two (or a whole grove of them/more than would be in the Material world) in a Land of the Faye. But I wouldn't want their established/default backstory to be they are from/born there. But the general design has been really overstuffed with assigning planar connections to every-blessed-thing. This is from the Shadow plane...That is from places connected to, if not within, the Feywild...These guys over here are connected to the dreaded elemental plane of horseradish...which, as every sage knows, intersects the plane of ketchup to create the[I] border[/I] plane of cocktail sauce...[feared by piscodaemons throughout the multiverse! ;) ] It's overkill. Nothing wrong with some magical fantastical creatures existing in (and being native [I]to[/I]) a fantasy world filled with magic. I'm more than happy to [I]not[/I] see any references to "the fey" in these entries. EDIT: Upon a reread, this just occurred to me... Did you mean "more closely [I]allied [/I]with fey"? As they mentioned elf/faye interactions in the article. Did you mean you felt they should be more openly friendly with fey creatures? ...in which case...I see no problem with that and just ignore the above. hahaha. /EDIT [/QUOTE]
