03-24-08, 04:02 AM Shadar-Kai, those grey skinned, white haired, tatoo/pierced/branded/red rune covered fey from the shadowfell...A good concept or a bauched attempt at a goth anti-hero?

What do you think of them?

Be honest, be blunt, but be polite. :D

03-24-08, 12:34 PM Don't care about them.

...probably because what you've said is the only thing I know about them.

03-24-08, 06:45 PM Would you mind telling me what source book this is from so I can really critique it?

03-24-08, 09:59 PM Shadar-Kai are in the Fiend Folio, though I am not sure what page they are on.:confused:

I kind of thought more people would know more about them, but you know what happens when you assume.

I have seen some enworld forums on them, it seems people either love them tremendously, or absolutely hate them.

Personally, I like them, but im odd.

Sometimes I have noticed people use them as a Drow-substitute.

03-25-08, 09:06 AM the general ide is cool, but they made them far to angsty and self-pittying to consider using them.

03-25-08, 12:23 PM They are a bit emo, but I believe I could use them.
I mean the DM can change what he wishes right?

Only problem is how do you make them angsty enough to be cool, but not enough to be emo?:confused:

03-26-08, 06:49 PM I'm using them as "minions" (for lack of a better word) of Shar in my forgotten realms campaign. They've turned out pretty well so far and because they're cursed, it gives my goody-two-shoes cleric player the chance to redeem them instead of kebabing them.

03-26-08, 10:15 PM If it is not cursed is it still a Shadar-kai?:confused:
Even if they were not cursed I would probably still keep them just a bit angsty and connected to the plane of shadow.
Or atleast the shadow part.

Kind of the appeal.
