Much appreciated.
I&...Many thanks for the input. <br />Much appreciated. <br /><br />I've put a short scenario/encounter for the Shadow Elves on the Age of Shadow wiki submissions section. <br />It's only 1 page, but it is an 'open encounter' so to speak. <br />Stephen Yendlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999419810111865597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220699595354235703.post-6928078434812058332013-08-06T17:37:10.523+01:002013-08-06T17:37:10.523+01:00If you're looking to include a separate drow-l...If you're looking to include a separate drow-like race ...then the rules you've suggested seem well suited to doing just that. But if you're looking for other options to simulate their 'light sensitivity' you could keep it very similar to what you have now ...but maybe include a Resilience save? ...and have a success result in no penalty, a failure result in a -25% penalty, and a fumble result in temporary blindness.<br /><br />* * *<br /><br />However, my own take on dark elves in the AoS setting (though I prefer your 'shadow elves' term much better :) ), would be those individual elves that have succumbed to the will of the dark powers (perhaps as a result of studying foul magics, being ensnared in some evil which they cannot escape, or having their own will so utterly broken so that they are little more than ruined & corrupted mockeries of their former selves) - a good example of which would be 'the dark elf of Rengast' from the East Eyrie booklet.<br /><br />In game terms these would be regular elves that possess a corruption level that has exceeded their POW score (rather than being a race apart) - though outward signs of their 'corruption' will be plain to see (a haggard countenance and hunched posture for example). To put it in familiar terms ...a lot of fantasy settings hint at the fact that orcs were bred from corrupted elves (or something very similar) ...in the Age of Shadow these 'dark elves' would be very much alike to those first ruined elves.<br /><br />So (in my own head), dark elves would be very few in number at the current time, and be particularly despised by others of their kind. In addition they might also rise to positions of power within the ranks of the enemy - making them ideal BBEG material :)<br /><br />But, as I say, that's just my take on 'dark elves' within the Age of Shadow setting ...so folks should feel free to use/ignore it as they see fit :)csp_krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08429063060868165933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220699595354235703.post-8865192457333076772013-08-06T14:56:20.388+01:002013-08-06T14:56:20.388+01:00I submitted some ideas at the Age of Shadow wiki s...I submitted some ideas at the Age of Shadow wiki some time ago. <br />One of them was Shadow Elves. <br />At the end of the document, I suggested the possible aversion to light. <br />I'd just like some feedback (to all those RPG-ers out there) on the Shadow Elf data. <br />I'll include it here for convenience: <br /><br />AGE OF SHADOWS: SHADOW ELVES (Dark Elves): <br /><br />The Shadow Elves are a corrupted version of normal elves.<br /><br />Basically normal Elves, but with some differences: <br />STR: 3D6, CON, DEX, SIZ, INT: POW, CHA: 2D6+6<br />Special Abilities: Night Sight, Immune to non-magical diseases, +25% Persistence tests against Fear effect (P63) of fearsome 1 creatures. <br /><br />AGE (P12): (2D6+6) x 10<br />Fate Points: normally 1, but could have 2. <br /><br />Weapons: short bow & longbow. Dagger, Long sword, scimitar, shield (small), short sword. <br />Armour: leather, ring or scale. <br /><br />It is not uncommon for them to coat their arrows, and sometimes their melee weapons with either a poison or a sleeping potion to render their victim unconscious (slaves are handy).<br /><br />Poison: <br />Name: Black fungus.<br />Type: Ingested or smeared. <br />Delay: None (instant). <br />Potency: 50 (sometimes 55 or 60).<br /><br />Sleep potion: <br />Name: Green fungus.<br />Type: Ingested, smeared.<br />Delay: None (instant).<br />Potency: 50.<br /><br />Physical description: <br />Similar in build (height, weight) to elves, but with certain differences: <br />Hair: white, silver, pale blonde. <br />Eyes: violet/purple, red, green, pale blue.<br />Skin: light to dark brown with a bluish or purplish tint.<br /><br />One thing I forgot to mention, was the possible aversion to light they might have.<br />Shadow Elves begin their raids, etc about dusk, but feel more comfortable when the sun sets.<br />If they are exposed to light (the Light spell for example), two things could possibly happen:<br />1: all actions are at -10%, -15%, or -20% for 1-2 turns, maybe even 3 turns.<br />2: They are blinded for 1-2 or possibly 3 turns, making them vulnerable.<br /><br />Stephen Yendlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999419810111865597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220699595354235703.post-48769871270287473842013-08-04T20:54:11.094+01:002013-08-04T20:54:11.094+01:00Look forward to it.
