Doomslakers Elf

For the Doomslakers B/X book, my Elf class tweaks are kind of like this.

1. Lawful Elves are the keepers of tradition and knowledge, very concerned with preservation of history and continuity of the world. They are very tall, often lean. Like creepy long and alien in some ways. Maybe called "high elves".

2. Chaotic Elfs (not spelled "elves") are absolutely not concerned with that shit. They are very short and have a preference for the physical pleasures. Maybe called "low elfs".

3. Neutral Elves don't have a dog in the fight and tend to be slightly shorter than humans.

Lawfuls and Chaotics also have minor tweaks to ability scores but otherwise the class is unchanged.

This is in contrast to the Magic-User, which is significantly changed. Current plan is to replace it with the Wizard class but honestly that's just semantics. We'll see.

  1. Lol! I saw the pic first and my brain went, "Damn that a butt ugly elf! What was James thinking?!"
    But after reading your post, it absolutely fits your high elf concept. Kinda curious what your concept of the chaos, pleasure seeking elfs looks like 😁

  2. I think the Neutral "Elves" also need to be fussy about the spelling of their name, and the more idiosyncratic the better.
