[BECMI] Creature Catalogue Race Classes for Blackmoor?

[RobJN]

Sorry if it seemed like I started this thread and just left it hanging!

Thanks for the feedback so far!

Sidhe, maybe, in Thorn's Blackmoor.

Aha!

Yeah, those exist in my campaign as well. I am also thinking a connection between Sidhe and the Fey Lord class from the D20 Blackmoor line. Also, I can't quite remember how 4E Blackmoor handled Eladrin, but I would expect Sidhe to be the BECMI equivalent of Eladrin.

Also, harpies.

I seem to recall a reference to Sirens in the FFC. Aren't Harpies and Sirens terms sometimes used interchangably? OTOH, I have yet to allow Harpies as PCs.

I suppose one might use the two terms interchangeably. Sirens, if I remember rightly, have more of a tie to the sea, their singing luring sailors and such to their doom among rocks and shoals. Harpies, on the other hand, are associated with air, originally having been depicted as 'beautiful women with wings.' They were later confused with sirens, probably due to the whole "beautiful women" thing they had going -- wings notwithstanding. The whole "ugly" thing came a bit later, as well.

I would never allow them as a playable class, especially when their origins come to light in Act 2 of the Throne of Stars Campaign.......
