[quote=@Constantine] Well, I have a few questions if you don't mind. I'll try not to repeat anything already asked so bear with meh~ [/quote] I love questions and you ask some good ones as well ^^ [quote] 1. Active powers aside will elementals have passive traits that are common to all members of their element, for example being aware of the presence of their element in their surroundings. Or water elementals knowing when/if it is going to rain. A mixture of harmless/useful stuff like that. [/quote] There can be passive powers related to the element yes, mostly its like immunity to their own element (unless stated otherwise) but it indeed depends on the element in fact as well, an electric one may indeed feel power sources, water elementals will be more related to something like getting energy from water o something I had all this writen down but.. I cant find the paper.... also as I said before each elemental will have a trait unique to the element, some are active some are passive most of those I do remember from my mind XD [quote] 2. I assume that since elementals live in secret alongside humans we are more or less completely human in appearance. Is it possible to have slight physical traits that allude to our heritage, ones that can be hidden? Traits that might also suggest our 'beast' form should we ever go down that route perhaps? [/quote] Yes in general we all look just like humans, the only natural born trait are the color of the eyes thanks for reminding me that I have forgotten to mention that ^^ (with this note I will start making a hider for Q&A XD) the beast form is something we wont see of our chars, only one person is trying to find a loop, but he is finding me being pretty picky about it XD (well for being a nice GM I have said, if he can find the right trick, limits to it and all, I may allow it for him for 1 char, but up till now I found flaws XD) normal settings however wont allow people to just randomly use beast shape (as its normally a permanent change where you lose all memories and with it, unless its plot based, it is like a death sentence to your char) [quote] ... .... .....This has nothing to do with me wanting a fluffy elemental tail... [/quote] Then I suggest choosing your elements carefully cause with the right one, if your with others or alone, you could create one ^^ oh and thanks, Now I want to play with poison as well due to an other little char, well I have her already thought out and she will be the kid of an other so a 4e due to parent child matter (as that was allowed) [quote] 3. If elementals do come to blows, not saying this is my intention but you never know, is the course of battle dictated purely by the ability/power/control of each combatant or does the element play a role as well, as in does fire possess and inherent advantage over ice, ice over water, water over fire etc? [/quote] the element plays a role as well, I just mentioned that one of the next steps when I have the time will be to list the effectiveness chart there are a lot of matters involved actually element in fact control of said way you use it (there are many ways, for example you could specialize in defense) natural born talent/ power also as a general note on blows between, attack to defense can be completely different against attack to element body/ attack elements have many mysteries and with that I realized an other nice little trait I may include, though it depends on the special traits, if nothing comes that is similar
