>>97491702Didn't realize the new thread was up already, usually takes forever.>mechanicsSorta, they aren't terribly complicated since this is for 5e (well written for Swords & Wizardry then they converted it) so it's mostly fucking with supplies or saving to avoid something bad happening. I'm not sure whether the Rough Seas one is too extreme of a check or not.>Heatwave: The Sultan causes a heatwave to strike the ship, doubling the consumption of water and causing discomfort among the crew, which increases travel time by 1d4 days. Water may run out, forcing a stop at the nearest port or island.>Rough Seas: Rough seas erupt around the ship due to the Sultan exerting his powers over the temperature of the waters. Characters must make a successful DC 18 Dexterity or Strength saving throw or be tossed overboard along with 1d4 crew members. They must be saved within 1d4 rounds or be lost at sea and drown. If the ship suffers a loss of more than half of its crew, there is a 50% chance of mutiny. Regardless of mutiny, the ship adds 1d6 days to its travel time due to the difficulties of running the vessel with a reduced crew.>Storm: A rough storm erupts due to the Sultan meddling with the weather over the Sea of Baal. The captain must make a successful DC 15 Intelligence check with navigator’s tools or the ship runs aground and is damaged on one of the detailed islands in the chain. The storm also has the same effects as the rough seas event.>Doldrums: The winds die completely, requiring the use of twice the provisions and water by rowers. This lasts for 2d6 days.
>>97494662Hylians aren't elves. How many times must this be said?
>>97494950I would argue that link and zelda are; they have the right size and shape. Other hylians are half-elves at best, and humans with pointy ears at worst.
>>97494662Does this look elf enuff?
>>97494950>>97494972we actually have humans in a few of the games, so yes, Hylians are ELVESthe words Japanese use to describe them means human-like because Japanese don't actually have a word in their natural language for elves>Ningen can be used for all manners of human-shaped thing>Just look at the 'ningen' hybrid
>>97494974Hm. Would bang.
>>97494950Look, Miyamoto or whomever at Nintendo can say whatever they want. They got pointy ears, they're elves. The Abh aren't elves either but nobody's gonna stop calling them space elves.
I don't call Abh space elves.Most of them don't even have elf ears.
>>97494950They're honorary elves.
>TQFor me it depends heavily on a character. For my current elf (Arrianne), outside of usual things that make a person likeable, I imagine she would appreciate anyone who understands her elven need to express herself and show emotions, as I consider all elves as very expressive beings. Anyone forcing her to bottle up, shame based on her bubbly behavior or punishment based on her expressiveness would be taken as an extremely mentally draining oppression if continually applied.>>97494805>it's for 5eI will steal this, regardless. Thank you
>>97496066>Thank youHey no problem! The part where it comes up is around Level 5ish or so, and was written with the idea there would be places for a ship to limp off for repairs. It keeps things pretty loose since the focus isn't on sailing autism.As for the barbarian, I mean. That's pretty common for that class. So long as he actually bites the baited hooks that progress the thing he wanted to do, all will be fine.
>>97494238i think elves look for beauty in all things, so even among the barbarians they would be able to appreciate things like the barbs' arts and culture in much the same way as british people walking around a museum full of african artifacts
>>97496667I could see it lol.
are different elf types capable of loving each other?
>>97494779It really is
>>97497552Now that you say it I don't recall any fantasy universe ever doing a half high/half wood or drow or whatever elf, I'm sure they exist in say the Elder Scrolls but ''half'' races there are just the mother's race with slight characteristics from the father like the orc with pale skin cuz his dad was a human vampire
>>97497611have you heard of DnD? Forgotten Realms?
>>97496756That's a gnome, halfing, dwarf, anything but an elf.>>97497611Bet Forgotten Realms had a number of them. Zhai from the Demon Stone game had a drow mother and a wood elf father.

Cute Redneck Elf eating breakfast
>>97503391Arrianne sure has a nice slim figure. Would she want more jewelry for fashion? Or perhaps more that any wealth she can easily carry like a bangle, armband, or rings would be easy to carry around. Very traditional that a warrior wants wealth he can carry around out of necessity, as well as style. I'm surprised she can find anything green to eat, but then again if a whole town is transported I suppose some must have personal gardens like ones hanging from windows. Or town herbalists and alchemists with their own greenhouses.Are all the local Avernus herbs poisonous or are some useful?
>>97503147>saucenao failed meSauce of this screenshot?Does saucenao not work when one uses a phone?
>>97500280>that picWouldn’t want it any other way.
>>97503765The same exact elf has been posted in this very thread, including stating her name.https://bastard.fandom.com/wiki/Arshes_NeiI never watched Bastard and yet I was able to figure this out.
>>97503774NTA, but I do appreciate you sharing your findings.
Elf slavers. Wat do?
>>97503690>sure has a nice slim figureYes, she is also fairly tall compared to the rest of her family (standing around 167cm/5'6" high). Her village nickname is Lanky or whatever is the equivalent in the local Elven/Halfling. The people deeper in the forest/swamps call her Stickbug.>Would she want more jewelry for fashion?Right now, she would really want to just go home.As for jewelry, I'd say she would appreciate it but is not really used to it since she is just a small town middle child. Last time she wore "jewelry" (colored rocks) her neck hurt. I think she would quickly try to turn any wealth into investment and subsequent profit. That would be her first instinct. She really enjoys making profit even though she is not the spending type.>I'm surprised she can find anything green to eat>Are all the local Avernus herbs poisonous or are some useful?Sadly, this is presented to us as something enigmatic, as DM ruled out that most of the stuff we eat in Avernus are "rations" even though I made Arrianne specifically for foraging out-of-town scenarios. Most of the plants in Hell are rotten or dry but there are various randoms who make small gardens, produce small crops. Avernus is dry and hot but there is no sun burning so if one could produce water it would actually be very easy to grow crops. Big bugs could be issue...Every morning, Arrianne sets out to forage for various plants to use either as spices or to smoke and she did find some psychedelic plants so those exist for sure.
>>97504622Impregnate the slavers, then escape while they're lazing about pregnant.
Some time ago in one of these threads I asked for tips for aesthetic ques for biotech elves I was drawing. This is the roster od designs I ended up making.
So which of the archetype arcane casters do elves fall under most often? Innate magic ability like a Sorcerer, or learned in the way of magic like a Wizard?
>>97506812Innate magic that is also honed with intelligence
>>97506812That's more or less a D&D thing and the answer is learned wizards.Although, I'd say evil elves might often end up with innate power (from demonic sources).
>>97506775looks sick, good job
>>97506860Thanks. Ended up 3d modelling a bunch of stuff for it as some of the shapes I was pursuing were difficult to draw straight out of my head.
>>97505065>produce waterAnd unlike my City of Brass campaign, creating water magically isn't very brutally controlled. I'll have to think of how to handle that aspect, since the rations of the system are rolled into just a single "Supply".

Would a king who looked like this look down on the Elven kingdoms or view them with respect? How far does human hubris go?
Puckfaggotry aside, let's focus on what really matters, INT bonus or DEX bonus?
>>97508924which one is more smug
>>97508924I thought it was INT+1 = High Elf, WIS+1 Wood Elf?
>>97508924CON.
>>97497552Not impossible I believe. But not so easy to get close to each other and form a serious relationship.
>>97508924Both.
>>97507027One thing I really hate about D&D is the magic being able to completely replace any form of sustenance, maintenance and upkeep.>I'll have to think of how to handle that aspectI would separate it into food, water and single use waste items (torchers, candles, inks, etc.)I would additionally separate food to perishable and "very quickly" perishable so players have the option to hunt/garner without being able to stockpile.>>97508901Whoever commissioned this artwork is a sick, demented piece of shit.>>97508924WIS
>>97509376If resisting the Holy Sword's influence was a Wisdom check wouldn't Arrianne be a strong contender to hold it and be able to maintain her mind? Unless its charisma or simply no check at all as a plot device.>>97505065>Yes, she is also fairly tall compared to the rest of her family. 5'6".Tallmen watch out lol> She really enjoys making profitIs there a surviving lord of the town that owns most of the land? Maybe Arrianne should bag herself the deeds or a rich husband. Although if theres other ruins of ancient cities down there I'd imagine some relics or scrolls could be very valuable to the right buyer. Unless they all just sink into the Styx, but one must imagine there should be lore and bits of other cities this has happened to throughout the campaign.
>>97509376What's wrong with a random picture of a king?
>>97509376So I actually like simplifying things to just a single thing, in this case the "Supply". There's a more 'tism option in the rulebook for A5E, where you need to keep track of not only putting things in appropriate containers but that you have the correct poundage of food and water. This is a bit too much for me, personally.But I'm getting ahead of myself. In A5E each character can carry up to their Strength score in Supply, and this is the hard limit and what really helps ensure the effort to forage/hunt or the class features taken for survival don't become useless. Sure, someone like Frost can be forced to carry Ferris' Supply but the big guy can't go above his STR score. The rules also encourage endangering the Supply, a lot of the failure results for various Exploration Challenges result in a loss of supply and even outside of that things like having to travel through water could put your stuff at risk.To touch on magic. You cannot store food/water inside of a Bag of Holding (or similar), as this saps the nutrients from food and the ability of liquid to quench thirst. Spells are more restricted, Create Food and Water requires food/water as the target of the spell and it merely duplicates it 1-to-3 and is only good for 24 hours. Create/Destroy Water, you either create gallons of nonpotable water or a single Supply of drinkable water and upcasting never increases that. On the subject of magic some spells like Rope Trick and Tiny Hut now have components that get consumed when cast.Sorry that got a bit wordy. I remember you saying one of the players in your game will be running 5e next? Might be worth having them look into A5E, or at least stealing some of this stuff to make it a little more crunchy.
>>97509417>wouldn't Arrianne be a strong contender?it's progressive will saves with every round until it becomes literally impossible to resist the sword. Arrianne has biggest Will save in the party but that is not much since her Scout and Ranger classes don't give that much will. And then again...it comes down to dice roll. The sword urges the user to fearlessly confront and destroy anything the user perceives as evil and that is the biggest problem with Arrianne wielding it. She wouldn't mind cleaving Ferris (and maybe even Frost) in half with it since she considers him worse than most enemies she encountered in literal hell. She would literally kill two very valuable (party balance-wise) party members before she would engage any enemy. Also as she has the ridiculous move speed, it would be impossible to take the sword out of her hand since her whole schtick is hit and run tactics while covering extreme distances. The safest bet would be to just nuke Arrianne as quickly as possible (she has very low HP for her lvl) and/or give her the sword in a very tight space where she couldn't just run/cleave through away.>Is there a surviving lord of the town that owns most of the land?Not in hell there isn't. But if the party manages to survive hell and save Elturel, Arrianne will definitely not be shy about asking for a HUGE compensation for the task. Every morning she wakes up, she is checking and writing a list of demands for the heroic deeds her party did which will, as is only logical, only go to Arrianne since Amy is a child, Frost is a retard, Ferris will be hanged and Kout is a bum who doesn't care about money. She will use this to kickstart a trading company. The party also owns a rundown pirate galleon docked in Baldur's Gate. She would definitely push to legalize that and start her own Elf India Company or somethin..>I'd imagine some relics or scrolls could be very valuableGems. There are tons of gems. Avernus is one big mine.
I have more respect for this human boy than most elves.
>>97509470Why did you make your character sheet on a txt file?
>>97509473That's the Lord's file format.
>>97509489I guess you can just share it with copypaste.
>>97509458>This is a bit too much for me, personally.Yeah, this definitely can be taxing on the DM but it will force players to scav for supplies. Maybe commissioning some junior autist/programmer to make a simple tracking app on phone could come in handy?>Rope Trick and Tiny Hut now have components that get consumed when cast.I will definitely be forcing my players to use material components next time I run a game and I'll make damn sure they are scarce or a capable scavanging character will be needed.>I remember you saying one of the players in your game will be running 5e next? Might be worth having them look into A5EWill definitely offer it to her but I don't think she has that much concentration to make it happen. Do you have any .pdf links, especially maybe even youtube videos with a summary of the differences between 5e and A5E so I can hook her on it?>>97509473· They are extremely easy to read, edit and copy statblocks· You can group various PCs, NPCs and Monsters in a single text file for a specific session, ecnounter or module· Even though we play irl, I always have a simple and readable stat block that I send to DM as soon as something big changes in order to help him balance the game in whatever thing he is prepping for us. If he suddenly starts send us messages like "Hey guys...errr...what are you will saves?" that would kinda spoil the next session, would it? This way, he is aware of what we can do and can play thing ahead to be the exact, perfect balance of fun and challenge
>>97509504>hook her on itI'll put together a GF link later today with the PDFs, I got a thing I wrote up with differences but I'll make that into a PDF too.>>97509470Holy shit you have negative CON. Rolling for hit points too right?
>>97509470>destroy anything the user perceives as evilPerhaps killing Ferris isn't the worst thing...Especially when she can blame it on the sword. The 70ft of movement is really damn funny tho. I'm curious what her odds are of just murdering Ferris and then running around before anyone else can knock her out. Plus if shes raging to take half damage.>Elf India Company or somethin..Lol idk Arrianne would make a pretty cute pirate. Hunting down other pirates and slavers, where Justice is what Captain Arrianne says it is. Imagine how fast she can zoom around a ship with all that movement speed. Its a nice use of a ship and given how fast she can run she could probably get to this Elturel fellow first.>Gems. There are tons of gems. Avernus is one big mine.Neat. Why was she wearing painted rocks at some point anyways, I presume before Avernus.I don't suppose any connections to the beings in literal Hell will be of any use once shes out of there? A means to summon the red caps or their mistress. Other favors that might have been accumulated. The funny elephant angel that needed its memory recharged bit by bit.
Heroes of Might and Magic got me wanting to put snow elves in my setting
>>97509542>you have negative CON. Rolling for hit points too right?Yup. Don't forget the Quick trait too. I wasn't joking when I said Arrianne is glass canon. Her HP is average for lvl 5 characters, not lvl 10s. I also wasn't very luck with some hp rolls...>I'm curious what her odds are of just murdering Ferris and then running around before anyone else can knock her out. Plus if shes raging to take half damage.This is exactly what I said previously. 70ft of move speed is outside of charging distance of everyone in the party and that is WITHOUT longstrider spell which gives her +10ft move speed for 90 minutes. Frost's move speed is 30. Amy's is 20. They couldn't catcher her on her normal movement speed. On top of that she has endurance feat which would mean she could probably run for hours and she is in light armour. That means run action for her is 280 feet. Ferris player has started calling her horsegirl ooc because she really is on par with a horse.>Why was she wearing painted rocks at some point anyways, I presume before Avernus.Because we didn't have money to make a proper nobles outfit (we needed 100 gold+150 gold worth in jewelry to larp as nobles) so a lot of forgery was done to fool the guards.>any connections to the beings in literal Hell will be of any use once shes out of there?I'm hoping she can strike some trade deal with Mahadi, the guy who runs the Wandering Emporium which is the only peace zone in Avernus. Hopefully without selling her soul but actual mutually beneficial trade deal. Since outside of convincing people to sell their souls, he is just another free trade enjoyer. Arrianne was thinking how this could be useful for trading exotics or maybe even smuggling stuff and dodging tarrifs.
>>97509639>Lol idk Arrianne would make a pretty cute pirate.I don't know about that...Arrianne would never do such a thing.Anyhow, meet Luno, the little elven pirate boy. He is very quite and looks kinda frail but just don't tell Luno that he looks like some cute redneck elf girl called Arrianna Luna Gladebottom because that would surely upset him. Cute Redneck Elves with a strong inland southern redneck accents would definitely not pull a nat1 on multiple disguise checks and would fit perfectly into any pirate ship's crew with absolutely ZERO skill in ship handling to show.
>>97509713They better have beards!
>>97509931why, that does look like a little pirate boy and not a redneck elf in disguise.
>>97500280That you are retarded nogames who has no eyes.
How long do you like your elf lifespans?
>>97511530500 to 800 seems like it's the sweetspot for a belieable society and culture, and allowing elfen characters to become extremely powerful over the course of their long life, without going into complete overboard.If you go beyond a 1000, you might as well make them immortal.I think 300 is the minimum.
>>97511530I kinda liked going back to 1e/2e D&D ages, where elves could live up to 1,000 years give or take and even half-elves might conceivably reach 300 years. For my setting this puts it where there has been several generations of pure-blooded elves since "first contact" with humanity.
>>97511676>I think 300 is the minimum.300 years is the max. Having someone alive today who could've fought in the American Revolution would dramatically change our perception of time. Having a whole race of people like that would change everything.
>>97511755If only there was something like the fantasy genre to explore such concepts...
>>97509233How so?
>>97511773Yeah but unless you go full Tolkien and have the elves seclude themselves they'd severely effect the world building. Imagine having veterans of the Napoleonic Wars walking around. Now imagine having a nation of people that remember the Napoleonic wars. I mean for fucks sake most of the elves in TES still remember the Tiber wars
>>97509931Cute, I'm sure Luno could be a great pirate captain and everyone would agree not to bring up any pretty redneck elves.
>>97511805>they'd severely effect the world buildingI fail to see the problem.Yes, take that into account. It's a fantasy setting.
>>97511805imagine if someobody had lived through all the different times that Dwarves had been expelled from different countries
What subrace of elves is the best btw?
>>97511866Most elves in my setting are just super apathetic to humanity and just have this "leave us the fuck alone" vibe. Like, an entire human empire rose and fell in the lifetime of a single elf.>>97511880Kek very based.
>>97511900>are just super apathetic to humanityYeah, their increased lifespan should matter to them first and foremost. Their lifespan exist to benefit themselves, not humans.
>>97511919>Their lifespan exist to benefit themselves, not humans.They tried the whole "enslave all humans thing", it didn't work out, and now they just chill on their Island reminiscing about the golden days of their continent spanning empire.

>>97513133Or this?
>>97513133>>97513144I find elves in modern clothes deeply offensive
>>97513990urban fantasy needs elves too anon
>>97514023Better if you imagine it as a normal sized weasle and a tiny elf.
>>97513990I find attractive women in modern clothes to be deeply offensive
>>97513990You should find that anti-elf meme deeply offensive.
>>97514389Is he the tallest elf in Warhammer Fantasy lolI do wonder how many of these dark elves are just debauched and how many are the guys who were loyal to the last king and then to his son.

>>97516498>>97516892Would Summer Eladrin be any better a summer olympics sport then other elves of the same gender/age/socio-economic stratum?
High Elves, Wood Elves, and Dark Elves. Which takes home the most medals, who takes the most golds in the summer Olympics?
>>97517831Wood Elves are too disorganized.They do really well in a few sports, but they don't care about building institutions for a wide variety of sports.They get the least amount of medals.High Elves do well in the more classic categories, but there's a huge disparity between male and female categories in most cases.Dark Elves get the most medals in the summer olympics.Unless they get disqualified for doping.Their sport institutions for women are Mountain Dwarves are hosts this year so they have bullshit categories like Gravel Bobsled. which the wood elves don't care about and the high elves think is retarded and needlessly dangerous, but the dark elves have dedicated team hoping to get a bronze to prove their superiority over the high elves.High Elf men might get more medals than Dark Elf men, but not necessarily.
>>97509504>>97509542Sorry for the wait. So with this system they also have most of the core books just freely available online too via: https://a5e.tools/As for the PDFs for the books, but also the form I had made back when getting my players onboard with the game: GF /d/OmDU3dNo videos that succinctly go over the differences though, I tried looking months ago. People not even making any money off youtube just milking the number of videos. Or they like the sound of their own voice.I think even if she doesn't run this system outright, the monster books are gonna be very useful. Better designed than old 5e, and each entry comes with suggestions on how to run the creature and also "Legends and Lore" with relevant skills and what info is learned based what DC you succeed on. Plus encounter ideas across a good spread of CR ranges, and the treasure to be had from said encounters.
I prefer it when elves are taller than humans. They should all be 6"6' chads. Even the women.
>>97520217I don't prefer it; I like D&D's short slim elvesI also like that they have brown hair and green eyeshoweverfor my homebrew setting & houserules, I made elves be tall and blonde with blue eyes, as I think that rounds the races out better and is close to what most people expect of elvesI also made them into spear users instead of sword users
>>97520217imoShortest height for the men should be 6'0 and for women it should be 5'8
>>97520217>grabbing some ass on your elf friend during a hugHow shameful.
>>97520307anon she's his dom
>>97520318>>97520217Yeah, that elf looks like she's about to commit a crime. Either she's manipulating him or he's about to get dommed.
>>97494003>TQI base their interests on their personality.My first elf was socially naive and lonely on account of being a nomad with adventurer parents much more powerful than he, but ultimately a good boy. It's too callous to say he'd settle for anyone, but it's more like he didn't think true love was in the picture for him. When a party member confessed to developing a crush on him for protecting her and his willingness to be diplomatic in the face of difficulty, he didn't know what to do and so tried to build up the relationship to see what was there, finding things to love. Starts with positives on personality: gentle and supportive, disciplined in studiousness and intelligent, an appreciation for music and peaceful conflict resolution via conversation, optimistic, enjoys small moments together like group study and mutual hair styling. Once an actual appreciation for the person was there, he could focus on physical attractiveness. Petite and curvy DEX Bard with long hair and clear complexion fits a good few elven beauty standards. I got to use elf eyes as an excuse for him to notice very minute details that humans would easily miss, like how she'd get the faintest crow's feet when she laughed.The second elf I played has the inverse problem. Amazon caretaker wants to be a reliable comfort for a man that's determined, kind, and likely shorter, but body horror powers and a tangible lack of rizz means the rare few that she'd like would must be so afraid of her that there'd be no space for emotional connection. She's lost any preference to hyper-macho no-armor lads through over-exposure in her tribe, yet to fit in put on a tough warrior facade. When she got invited to a slumber party, she plainly denied any romantic feelings for the rival barbarian NPC because in all honesty they hate each other's guts, but admitted she'd love a relationship where she can step behind a good guy and support his efforts supporting her instead of fighting for herself all of the time
>>97520233>brown hair and green eyes>spear usersAs a tall elf enjoyer, based. The ethereal nordic elves have their place as majestic artisans balancing out the likes of dwarven craftsmen, human industrialists, and the chaos of little races. Green/brown though is a classic nature palette. Spears span the range between a sword of civilization and a brutish club, easily fitting anywhere from wise hunters to shamanistic tribesmen to organized warriors.

>>97520716Oh no did Ferris pick up the sword or is this a "What If?">>97520716>convert 5e fags easierAnd yeah honestly a lot of the extra stuff fleshes 5e out enough to make me feel pretty satisfied. Even if shit like 3.5 no longer comes off as intimidating (sure did when I first got into the hobby) there's no denying that it is easy to lure people in with "Yeah it's definitely 5e... with some uh, house rules." And then have an extra 300+ pages compared to 2014 5e's PHB.My monk player really enjoys how much she can customize her character, you can kinda be silly and dump all your choices as you level into more movement speed. Could stack an extra 100ft of movement by Level 20, though you ignore a lot of other options.
>>97520217Me too>They should all be 6"6' We are not the same
>>97520957>Oh no did Ferris pick up the sword or is this a "What If?"No, that's Clay. A clone of Ferris that is a simple, hardworking farmer. We gave the sword to him because he has a good heart and the lowest chance of getting one of the party members killed.>>97520816Arrianne starts changing colors when she is in a proximity of good looking, strong, hardworking, downtoearth men who fight for good, especially considering the fact she hasn't seen one in more than half a year.
How do you like your elves?
>>97524175Chubby.
>>97524176You got dwarves for that.>>97524175Well-written, engaging, inspiring, narratively important, being able to be the protagonists of their own stories.
>>97524175As superhuman racists.
>>97524146Why does she have a large and round face when other elves seem to have normal faces? She looks like the elf Amelia Watson played in Oblivion.
>>97524527Well I always drew her with a round face with a very small chin. I imagined all elves from her village are somewhat chinless. Overtime I just started drawing her face a circle due to copious amounts of chibis and in general due to my way of sketching out a character. So her face started becoming rounder and rounder.
>>97524175Belligerent and numerous
>>97524654she's like a chipmunk
>>97524654I will make her rounder and rounder, if you catch my meaning. I mean pregnancy, I will get her pregnant, via sex
>>97524176vile
>>97524146>>97524654>>97520716Dang those are some cute Arriannes. Would wife.I do wonder if perhaps asking someone to do something while being possessed by the sword is ethical. If a task was put to him as being a righteous one can he really judge it properly, could an evil man like Ferris not twist the words of a task to suit him but which the Sword can't find fault.Or would Farmer Clone Ferris think Arrianne is being quite forward to sit on his lap, but Sword Ferris doesn't care because its not an intrinsically good or evil act.Was it just Frost that was gay for Ferris or was original Ferris also gay? Would Clone Ferris be gay if the original was? lol
Why do Elves get British accents in voiced media?
>>97526770In American media, British accents denote something old and grand.
>>97526787or gay and evil
>>97526770Because Welsh accents are horrific
>>97526872I'm gay and evil yet I don't have a British accent
>>97527179Dwarf leave.
>>97527179all brits are gay and evil but not all gay-and-evils are brits
>>97526787Why not give Wood Elves a Southern US accent?
Elves are best when they have smaller breasts.
>>97527364high elves british accents; wood elves southern accents, drow australian accents
>>97525597kinda, yes>>97526206>>97526663First get her out of hell then take her out on dinner first!>>97526663The sword is the weapon for good, the will of Lathander himself will guide it's user, so even if the user itself is tricked into picking up the sword, he cannot do evil. We did force Clay into picking up the sword but we're in dire situation and many, many lives will be saved by his action. Arrianne currently sees Clay as a hero of good as much as Amy and she is doing everything she can to tend to him. She is checking up on him, talking to him, feeding, washing, clothing, bought him armor and she will probably prioritize protecting him in any fight.>Or would Farmer Clone Ferris think Arrianne is being quite forward to sit on his lapThere is 6 medium sized creature stuck in a large vehicle. Space is sparse so he didn't mind it. We freed an unicorn from a demon zapper so now he has his own epic mount of virtue and good.>the gayFrost is biFerris is a full blown faggot>Would Clone Ferris be gay if the original was?I...don't know. Hopefully not. I think Ferris is gay due to severe daddy issues. We don't know exactly how much of Ferris have his clones inherited...For now at least Clay seems like what would Ferris be if he had good relationship with his parents and stayed on the farm as a country boy.
>>97527372define the lower limit of smaller here
>>97508901Personally I think this king would respect them, but wouldn't revere them. He's see humans as having more potential.
>>97527916>We freed an unicorn from a demon zapperSounds like you guys had a pretty eventful session last time. I'm debating on whether to just push on with the current plan and send my group straight into the Sea of Baal or to take the opportunity to prep a small side adventure I found for the city their ship had stopped in. It amounts to ending up shrunk down into a magical dollhouse created long ago by an efreeti to torment people, with the aim of saving a little girl trapped inside. Main issue is it might just be too easy while giving out way too much treasure for a Level 5 adventure.
Games that brag about not having elves are faggy as shit. Bragging about what you DON'T have demonstrates a lack of interest on what you DO have.
>>97527916To be sure a dinner would be nice. One imagines theres a decent list of locations not to go to or risk incidents.Hmm wouldn't the unicorn have been more comfortable following alongside the vehicle at a decent pace? Though I guess I don't know how fast the vehicle or a unicorn can go.Hmmm does a clone consider the originals father to be his father? Or if he considers his original to be his father then anyone with Ferris as a father is bound to have daddy issues. What vicious cycle lol

How would elves view this song?: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHRvDo8rUoQ
>>97530675Mostly a sorrowful pity. The shortcomings of violence are so frightening that the human would prefer death over experiencing the eventual result. A youthful idealism that sees the traditions of those before as marching orders to destruction. The recognition of how the young burn brighter than the old and wondering if it would be better to burn out than remain a cinder. The ultimate statement of how they shouldn't allow that fear to scare them into inaction would probably be a nice twinkle of optimism before the final chorus recounts the main core.The final opinion would be defined on whether or not they're in the usual depiction as some sort of fallen or declining civilization. Depending on whether or not they're 'out on the other side' and their opinions and cultures for either case, it could ring horrifyingly true, incredibly naïve, a sticking point for the foolishness of humanity, etc. A utopian, post-Revelation-Christianity-esque hippie society where elves have no reason to fear each other would find the hopelessness and anxiety outright depressing, while a jaded post-destruction society would find it more of a blunt reminder of simpler times and a selfish view that the world isn't perfectly capable of moving on without them.

Freeing the Unicorn and having Clay ride him was the only thing we did.>I'm debatingFocus on main quest. Never offer them sides if the party itself doesn't push for it.>>97529212>One imagines theres a decent list of locations not to go to or risk incidents.ANYWHERE NOT HELL, PLEASE>I guess I don't know how fast the vehicle or a unicorn can go.As far as the DM goes it's on par with our vehicle in terms of traveling only.>does a clone consider the originals father to be his father?As far as Clay goes, Clay had no idea who Ferris was until they met. And also, Clay acts like a simple farmer. He does not possess the magical affinity Ferris does, or interest in magic, or his issues. Any other clones we met were dead or dying. Ferris knows that he did this by fucking up his spells but the only way we can tell is the physical appearance.
>>97534197Elves: No sense of taste.
>>97534197>Focus on main quest. Never offer them sides if the party itself doesn't push for it.Can't say I agree, and in this case it's more creating a hook, that doesn't need to be taken. It's no different than the breadcrumbs dropped for stuff on the islands within this arc of the adventure. But for myself it also isn't difficult to get it prepped, I'm not converting everything.Whether they take this or not they'll be thrown into plenty of combat. Already had a mention from one of the other passengers aboard the ship of heading to a mining colony in the outlying Sea of Baal to check on things as the fleet will use it as a staging ground. Things are not going well there, the mines are infested with Ankheg led by Fomorian's.

How come people in the elf thread don't talk about elves with reverence and instead fetishize them?
>>97536104Because they're so attractive. I thought that was the whole point of this thread. I tell you I won't post in a thread that robs men of their right to fetishize elves
>>97536104Most people here don't like elves, they just masturbate to them.Therefore, elf threads are popular for all the wrong reasons. They are also the prime target of crossboarders that see this solely as the "shitposting about elves" board, which is why the contents in these threads are often indistinguishable from /v/ or /a/ posts.
>>97536314lol
>>97494003every elf i make just ends up as deedlit from lodoss warthe one time i tried to make an elf wizard, they asked if it was frieren in a wig
>>97528320Bee Stings - Bs. The perfect range is right there.
>>97536314Think starting Wholsesome Elf Threads on /v/ and /a/ would act as containment/quality control?
>>97536539No, this concept never worked.If you feel like making a good elf thread based on their respective board's topic, then go ahead. Won't stop you.But especially /v/ is a lost cause when it comes to this, and there have always been dumb "why are there no elves in office settings slop.jpg" with a 50/50 chance of whether the mods care enough to delete them or not, running parallel to this general.
>>97536116This. If you want to have 'insightful discussion' you've come to the wrong website.
>>97536561Yes, I come to this board for insightful discussion.That's one reason why I initially fell in love with it. That you could find all manners of passionate people with niche interests, ready to amaze you with interesting posts or just getting autistic about the subject.
>>97536572>Yes, I come to this board for insightful discussion.You're sub 90 IQ if you think any discussion on /tg/ in 2026 is insightful. Sorry, but those are the facts.

Not sure how magical unicorns are in terms of combat ability to regenerate or something.>Ferris knows that he did this by fucking up his spells but the only way we can tell is the physical appearance.The second I'd see a clone I'd wonder if it was some kind of plot by an antagonist lol. Though if being a magical accident doesn't bother Clay more power to him...Doesn't this mean Ferris created a being with a soul through his magic? Seems like if anyone in Hell ever found out they would absolutely hunt you guys down to see if he can basically print souls.

>>97536048Why is she like that
>>97537372Don't ask me, I specified "board", not these generals in particular.I'm in this thread because I'm passionate about its subject (elves), but the threads themselves and most anons in here are awful people.Not bumping these threads eitherI remember some threads ago when an anon asked about 18th-19th century elfen warfare, and I stated that elves wouldn't do line-infantry, and while typing/thinking about it and pivoted back to, yes, they would, in some capacity. And something about that topic stuck with me for some reasonDon't know if the anon that started that topic ever did something game-related with it, though.
>>97537422>not these generals in particular>sage-ingSo then, why bother posting in the Elf General at all?Even if we reach a bump limit, we'll make a new thread to horny over so it makes no real difference (except for that brief moment the new thread is up but the old thread is still on p8).If you want to see some intelligent discussion, pose an intelligent question; be the change you want to see.Considering how elves fight in Warhammer, I'm surprised someone thought that elves would ever not fight in line formations. Yeah, muh guerilla, but that only works when your enemy is on the move too. You can't exactly blitz down a star-fortress.Another prompt: what is the best cash-crop for elves?
>>97537595>So then, why bother posting in the Elf General at all?Because, as I said, the subject-matter itself is something I'm passionate about.>be the change you want to seeYeah, that's why I answer questions that seem honest and may result in a fruitful discussion.I actually simply don't have any elf-related questions, not working on anything elf-related right nowAnd I came to realize that the answers often can be whatever, as long as the execution is good and logical. Most "why would elves do X" are a waste of time

what if you had lots of very attractive elf types that were created from a common proto-elf stock put in a compressed time dimension and bred into different elf types with carefully tuned behaviors and appearances over the course of only a couple of years instead of millennia it would take in nature?
>>97539958would be pretty nice i guess
>>97497611>>97497772Crossbreeds obviously exist, but I wish more types of mixed elf or half elf + half other non human were expanded on more, like half-elves are. Like, we get plenty of lore for half-elves and the fuckers seem to be basically everywhere, but we get basically no info on elves of mixed elven parentage or of half-elves produced from an elf and, say, a dwarf or halfling or something, except for snippets saying that they exist or that they're biologically possible.Obviously this would tend to spiral out of control given just how many individual combinations there would be, but SOMETHING regarding them would be nice.
>>97540116dwarves always make dawrvesgoblinoid/elf does not exist, Corellon and Grumsh hate each other so much elves and orcs cannot crossbreedif you consider skyrim rules: the child is always the mother's race with a few traits from the dadwhich is why technically bretons are not and have never been half elves
>>97540116I called my character a half-human and that threw every other player offmy elf was raised by elves and among elves and so internalized the human as the other
>>97540116>but I wish more types of mixed elf or half elf + half other non human were expanded on moreElves should be the last race to racemix, shit doesn't make sense. Unless it's actual a racial upgrade (draconic, demonic, celestiel ancestry).
>>97537299>Ferris created a being with a soul through his magic?Not the Arrianne anon, but the clone likely is an empty vessel. Which... huh, I wonder if their DM is gonna do something with that.
>>97540212>dwarves always make dawrvesThis makes sense, I suppose, although a half-elf half-dwarf making a sort of "high dwarf" that's more akin to a Skyrim dwarf is an idea I like as well.>goblinoid/elf does not exist, Corellon and Grumsh hate each other so much elves and orcs cannot crossbreedThis much makes perfect sense even outside of FR lore, I didn't even consider this possibility as I generally don't even think of goblins, orcs, etc. as player characters or even humanoids in the same sense as a dwarf or elf or gnome or whatever, despite WOTC's constant attempts to push that shit.>if you consider skyrim rules: the child is always the mother's race with a few traits from the dadI don't like the skyrim rules. The concept of which parent is which race impacting the child's traits is interesting, but "there's no mixed races at all" is just lazy worldbuilding, in my opinion.

This is the most autistic thread on /tg/. And we have a GURPS thread.
non-stop pointy ear fondling
>>97540478Well it would be funny if a soulless farmer is someone Arrianne thinks well of lol.Plus I was wondering if being an empty vessel was why he can't use magic. It would be a very neat thing to use with this sword of Lathander, or other potential things, if that fills the vessel as it were. Turns him into something else? Some kind of Lathander Demigod, a living shard of Lathander given a body to grow into.Although from how that DM was described in the past I don't know if they -would- do anything with that.
>>97541534It's in fact not autistic enough.It's just lazy shitposting, waifufagging (now with even more /v/ and /a/!) and daydreaming "what if" situations with no relation to actual games.>skyrim rulesJesus Fuck. If this thread were properly autistic, it would tear this anon apart.
>>97542534>It's just lazy shitposting, waifufagging (now with even more /v/ and /a/!) and daydreaming "what if" situations with no relation to actual games.That;'s what makes it autistic anon.
>>97542550In a world where that word lost all meaning.There is now a Deedlit thread on /v/ where OP pretends to care about video games, but refuses to post any. Just like in these threads where the waifufags oh so love elves, but systems, campaigns, /tg/ characters? Nowhere to be seen.
No elves in pendragon, which I'mcurrently playing (well, there is but they're definitely not playable)
>>97542491I'm familiar with what the sword is as written in the adventure, so I'm interested to see how things turn out. Though they had mentioned the DM having some troubles converting things over (why the fuck they wanted to run a 5e adventure in 3.5e I cannot fathom).
