D&D Gazetteer 13 -- The Shadow Elves


Advice


Okay, I bought this a long time ago (.pdf version, actually), and I'd like to use them in a pathfinder game. Should I recreate the race using the Advanced Race Guide? Best ways to use them? Should I convert them to Starfinder (after all, they are building a nuclear reactor)?

Thoughts and advice?


I use these guys in my homebrew world, haven't done a full conversion to PF yet, but it looks something like a basic elf with wis instead of int bonus, drow dark vision and light sensitivity, and a stealth bonus instead of weapon familiarity.

Okay. lets see what others say first. :)

Dark Archive

That is a remarkably old product to be looking at, but I did enjoy the copy when I picked it up 25 years ago. What features of the Shadow elves appealed to you over other dark elf flavors?


Well, I said I might not be able to use them in a campaign to a friend, and he basically said why not? So I might be able to use them, now. They aren't dark elves by any means, I got the .pdf because the cover looked cool. Good one on Clyde Caldwell there. I also picked up other old D&D titles since then. Like the Dawn of the Emperors and Alfhiem. It was mainly to see how I can use the old Gazetteers in a modern campaign.


I just run Mystara so I can use all the Gazetteers (and everything else BECMI/Mystara-related) and not have to worry about altering them to fit in any other setting.

I haven't converted the Shadow Elves yet, but Java Man's suggestions seem good, though I'd probably give them a bonus to another skill in addition to Stealth. Either that or have Weapon Familiarity apply to crossbows and short blades. Or even just give them the Crossbow Training ART, considering how pretty much all the stat'ed characters use them.
