06-17-07, 09:37 PM my bro is a long time player, he still has one of his first char from 1 edition.
and hes follows the books to the letter. me i wing it all the time, but he is the dm so here is my prob

i wanted to play a bugbear that looks like an elf (i know its stupid but i do)
and this is what i came up with. (and yes i know its just a bugbear stats,with a Predator twist, but will it work?)

EL’Dai-Gwaith -Medium Humanoid (el’dar)

EL’Dai-Gwaith are a race mixed of Bugbear and Elf, they have the size of the bugbear They are large and very muscular, standing 6ft to 7.5ft tall their skin color is a grayish tan/green with long white/gray hair that is braided into dreadlocks. Their eyes resemble those of a savage cat, being blue with black pupils.

As a race they escaped the Shadow Plane to the Astral Plane, where they are hiding from a Lich king and his minions- Scorpion folk, Harpies, and Hobgoblins.

On their head, the EL’Dai-Gwaith has course bristly "hair" which is twisted into dreadlocks. One rite of adulthood is the ceremonial braiding of a warrior’s hair into the "dreadlocks" style worn by the warriors. This process, usually taking months of ritual and scalp pain is performed in public. At the slightest show of pain or discomfort on the part of the young warrior, the entire process is started over again.

EL’Dai-Gwaith young are trained by an elder warriors known as “Blooded” and travel with one until they become “Young Bloods”. As a rite of passage into adulthood, each male EL’Dai-Gwaith must hunt and kill his first kainde amedha, They are then adults in society and are allowed to hunt on their own.

COMBAT
They live by hunting any creature weaker than themselves. When hunting, they normally send scouts ahead of the main group that, if they spy prey, return to report and bring up reinforcements. EL’Dai-Gwaith are cautious warriors and take time to analyze their opponents and the location of the fight if at all possible, maximizing their advantage by using ambushes, snipers, and camouflage.
