No no no! That book I like, and I consider it to be one of the better Realms resources. In fact, one of the characters I'm working on for my Lords of Waterdeep project was inspired entirely by a single line in the water genasi entry, and I'm also fiddling with a fey'ri NPC based on one of the illustrations. |

Oh? Why is that?
Back in the days of 2E, I got the following Complete (race) Handbooks: Elves, Dwarves, and Humanoids. And I didn't buy it, but I looked thru a friend's Gnomes and Halflings book, as well.
Other than a couple of kits, I wasn't terribly impressed with the books. Most of the cultural stuff was just too try, and didn't feel quite right -- it seemed to be just the tiniest bit off.
Since those books had little to offer, I didn't have a lot of hope for the new 3.x Race books. If they couldn't do those right in 2E, I don't think the crunch-heavy 3.x rules could do much better. |

Which illustration? And didn't your mother warn you about girls or guys with wings?  |

Page 119.
And my mother did indeed warn me about girls with wings... She said that the wings made things difficult and sometimes required creative work-arounds.  |

Let's try this again. Which of the two figures in the illustration on page 119 are you basing the NPC on? You're being difficult on purpose...I can tell.

If I recall right, Taegan briefly in the The Rite mentioned having no problems with...positioning. Wow, wasn't sure I could phrase that in PG terms. |

Me, difficult? Naever happen! 
I'm basing an NPC on the red-skinned girl in the illustration.

 Ah, something else to look forward to in that book. I just started rereading The Rage yesterday, so hopefully I'll be getting to The Rite by the end of the week. |

*snickers* Don't make me sic a swarm of Miniature Giant Space Hamsters on you...
Actually, I've never based an NPC on an illustration before... The closest I've done to that is basing an NPC's appearance on a wallpaper I had on my computer at the time.
I have also made an NPC based on a GI Joe figure, but that was back when TSR and 2E were still going strong... |

Really? Ideas for characters be they NPC or otherwise come at me from all angels including illustrations.
Be sure to share your lovely fey'ri lady once your finished with her. Hmm...does that sound as wicked as I think it does? |
