Variant Races


Star Elf

Star Elves are reclusive extraplanar elves from a secluded extradimensional pocket-plane.

These traits are in addition to the standard elf traits, except where noted.

-2 CON, +2 CHA.
Type: Humanoid (extraplanar) [Unsure if implemented]

Otherworldly Touch: Between sunset and sunrise a star elf confers the ghost touch ability on any melee weapon she wields and any armor she wears, but only so long as she keeps the weapon in hand or wears the armor. Star elves have a magical affinity for starlight that gives them an unusual edge in fighting extradimionsional foes. (RP ability only)

Extraplanar: Star elves are not outsiders, but they are not native to Faerun. Spells and effects that target extraplanar creatures affect star elves. Banishment, dismissal, and similar effects that banish outsiders return a star elf to Sildeyuir (rped unless it can be scripted) [Unsure if implemented]

((Oh it's implemented Edge!  Aniváro has to be very careful not to banish Mirage back to Sildeyuir when they are in the midst of battle!  Many a times, Aniváro had to tell other clerics in battles with them to avoid those spells.  However, there are times where Ani has casted 'anchor' upon Mirage in hopes that will help if a banishment spell is cast by accident.))

Side note:  House rule, Fey'ri are ECL 2 no matter what SLAs are chosen.

Yeah I saw that and fixed it.

: Thanks! Noted as such in the original post.

I'll get started on the "Races of" series probably tonight or tomorrow night, probably starting with Races of Destiny.

We have more than one Star Elf out there.

Sorry if this is a bit of thread necromancy, but is there a list of allowable fae templates somewhere?  

Ebola Lola

nope.... its all a guessing game.... I tried to get a Race section going for people that do not know everything about the setting but it seems to have flopped sadly. Sorry

The Red Mage

You can commonly google "_____ racial template 3.5" and get a hit.

Ebola, the race thing will never be comprehensive due to the sheer number of templates that are available.

Modron, there are the standard half-fey and feytouched (which you can find with google, as RM suggested).  Fully Fey creatures can be found in the various Monster Manuals, and templates created from those.

modronlove

Thanks guys!  I must have been on crack on my initial search because I didn't find much of anything.   Searched again and found almost exactly what I think I want. The internet fae are a capricious lot...

Would it be helpful to take the meat if this and post it with. Sticky somewhere in the player resources section?

onivel

There have been a handful of pixie PCs. A brownie. I believe we have had a half pixie and a half-nymph. not sure of any other fey types, but those have been made so we do have a template that was determined for them.

I'll add all this into a resource thread when I'm not busy being doped up on painkillers.
