Talk:Tylwyth Teg (3.5e Race)

This race is finally complete after two days of hard work! --Ehsteve 05:26, 11 June 2009 (MDT)

Better, But Not Good Yet

The ability modifiers are substantially better than they were last night, especially with the most recent erratas to Wild Shape that makes your con-to-HP not change when you use it. That at least doesn't make it the best druid and rogue race ever put to print anymore. However, I still believe that Tiny is just too good, especially for what they get. All the advantages without the disadvantages, too -- their low speed doesn't even matter, thanks to that fly speed (why is that there?). Speaking of which, a fly speed at level 1? That makes you immune to all the level 1 monsters right there. Surgo 11:08, 11 June 2009 (MDT)

The flight speed was mainly to allow the Tylwyth Teg to keep within the realms of the Sprite domain, it would be hard to give a tiny -4 constitution creature wings that don't work, they would be fodder to many things at 1st level regarding their inability to use metal weapons if they take druid + penalties for using mainly iron weapons if they take another advantageous class as intended for them such as rogue in order to gain the advantage of their +8 size-category hide bonus. The flight aspect was mainly for flavor, I mean who can imagine a non-flying fairy? --Ehsteve 18:28, 11 June 2009 (MDT)

Flavor or not, it's totally ridiculous to have at level 1. Surgo 22:29, 11 June 2009 (MDT)

It's also ridiculous to have a wingless fairy! For your heresy you are never to enter the Gumdrop Forest where pixies dance and play and eat candy all day long! --Ehsteve 22:33, 11 June 2009 (MDT)

I'm sure you can think of some way to give them wings at later levels and not have a gamebreaking ability at first level. Surgo 23:07, 11 June 2009 (MDT)

Perhaps not the best choice for a low-level game, but games from a certain level upwards will certainly be able to cope with a 40 ft. flight speed. --Ehsteve 23:59, 11 June 2009 (MDT)
