#1 Favourite Fantasy "Species"
Which is your favourite fantasy species or race, and your favourite rendition thereof?
You know, Elves, Dragons, Dwarves, Drow, Hobbits/Halflings, etc. etc. etc. (specific groupings of humans can count)
And what your favourite rendition of said species is, like from LotR, DnD, WoW, etc.
My personal Favourite: Drow, Forgotten Realms, or possibly the Night Elves from World of Warcraft

So easy I didn't even have to think: Dragons.

Fairies

Drow, with Elves as a close second. You can seduce an Elf, but a Drow will seduce you.

Last I checked they were immune to most mind-affecting magicka and drugs.

See, that's the thing. I don't HAVE to use drugs or mind control, only my charm. I'm just that fucking good. 
OMG, I didn't realize I was that arrogant. *!*

Well, *checks own character sheet* I have 23 Charisma... so I'm that good. Probably due to my being a specialized Sorcerer though... my magic is tied directly in to my Charismatic traits...Ra wrote:See, that's the thing. I don't HAVE to use drugs or mind control. I'm just that fucking good.

Ya, but I'm just a mercenary rogue! No magickal powah whatsoever. My charm is natural! MUAHAHAHAHAHA

Sorry for the threadjack, folks. Maybe we should take this somewhere else.

What I meant was, Sorcerers draw upon their CHARISMA for magic... not their charisma draws upon the Magic... (as odd as that sounds) because the Magic is related to the person's artistic talent rather than intellect... and, apparently, Charisma covers artistic stuff, such as poetry and singing.Ya, but I'm just a mercenary rogue! No magickal powah whatsoever. My charm is natural! MUAHAHAHAHAHA
And my Magic is natural anyway *flaps draconic wings*.

Heh, I prefer Gnomes for the small and annoying, personally. You might as well be an illusionist as well while you're at it, get as much milage out of your powers as possible.

Drow, as a species. Daemons (Lords in particular) as individuals.
Never shall innocent blood be shed, yet the blood of the wicked shall flow like a river.
The three shall spread their blackened wings and be the vengeful striking hammer of god.

I was referring to Ra, specifically...if you have a higher charisma than they do, as well as a higher appearance, and roll a 20....*rolls eyes* all of which CAN happen...
Who only has that one-in-twenty chance
Whereas, I, being a Charisma-Based Battle Sorcerer, have a charisma score of 23

Man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much: the wheel, New York, wars while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in water having a good time.
But the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man for precisely the same reasons
