...Oh wow, I didn't even notice I got a comment!<br /><br />Yeah, so the song elf list is fundamentally my testament to my ultimate laziness, since it's basically a one-for-one conversion of the one in Sil. <br /><br />This leads to there being some missing pieces, since Sil is a computer roguelike set entirely in the haunted halls of Angband.<br /><br />At some point, I would consider re-writing the song elf thing to be more bespoke and less of a quick-and-dirty conversion.<br /><br />I also think that Clerics-as-Elves is maybe actually the best idea in this post despite it being the most simple.<br /><br />Thanks for commenting!Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01426560400927762824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6377085597972659563.post-5816665406668242382020-05-24T01:35:32.344-07:002020-05-24T01:35:32.344-07:00clerics becoming elves is a good idea, since cleri...clerics becoming elves is a good idea, since clerics also sometimes suffer from the same conceptual homelessness as elves do.<br /><br />Song elves are probably inspired by Luthien: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beren_and_L%C3%BAthien<br /><br />which makes me wonder why they don't get a persuasion spell (since they got a sleep spell).<br /><br />If I have a criticism, is that's the elven song spell list is too unfocused. It makes the elf into a generalist. I might cut songs 1, 2, and 6 (the combat-focused songs) and focus on building spells around a stronger theme (sleep? peace? forests?) and maybe making them things that are suitable for ongoing buffs.<br /><br />Arnold Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603155377769597516noreply@blogger.com
