I like the idea of an Eladrin so devoted to specific court that they can not allow themselves to feel certain emotions to prevent changing forms. A summer Eladrin who constantly suppresses sadness and mourning to not become Winter Eladrin.
Spok did that well .......
Their very nature is chaotic. This is reflected in optional daily changing of the seasons. If you don't allow that you're nurfing one of the Core Concepts of the race. You can't tell me that as a person you've never woken up in a different mood than when you went to sleep.
Other than that I found this a fairly enjoyable and quite comprehensive video. Keep up the good work guys
@Benjamin Ale this may be late however I have been planing to play an Eladrin Bard whose mood is mostly determined by the season, however like the previous comment mentioned one can wake up with a different mood or one may be affected by incident that happened and game mechanic wise I included it like this:
Every Long Rest you have to roll a d6 in which 1-3 is the season in which currently is present and 4-6 are each one of the other season
Example: it's springtime
1-3 = Spring
4 = summer
5 = Autumn
6 = Winter
However you can ignore this role if something drastic happened before you took a long rest like if something made the Eladrin very angry like challenging his ideology and mocking it then the next day he will turn into his summer mood.
The way I'm playing mine is a little different from the typical Eladrin. I'm sort of playing him ad having 4 separate personas that emerge when needed or certain conditions are met.
Spring is his main personality. He is happy and always ready to crack a joke. This is also his youngest form. (In correlation with the seasons)
Summer is awakened when something happens in game that gets him extremely angry. His personality is like an angsty teenager. Hot headed and full of himself.
Autumn personality has not emerged, but would be present when he is truly content. (This one is a weird one that I havent hashed out completely yet)
Winter awakens when his spring persona is in danger or when he is afraid. Vary similar to Killer Frost from DCs Flash. When the personality is dominant, he is cold calculating and ruthless. This is the "protector" persona and will not go away until he is satisfied that his spring persona will be safe. He is also the most mature of the 4 personas.
Kevin Wendell Crum inspired?
Eladrin Phantom Rogue... Stuck in a state of Sorrow with a demeanor cold as winter by the assassination of his wife, he ventured to the Shadowfell to learn the arts of holding souls captive by a Shadar-Kai who had taught him with ulterior motives in mind.
Well now my Eladrin Hexlock is gonna fey step behind someone, but right before, she says, "I'm so sorry, but I'm gonna have to give you" *pop* "The smolder", and then bam! FIRE DAMAGE!! Attacks!!
The drow are the drow of the eladrin. All the elves are related and the split happens when the drow rebel.
Drows are underdark elves, eladrins are feywild elves, shadar kai are shadowfell elves, and sea,wood,high elves are material plane elves. I agree x)
Elves are the basic pallet, eladrin have their saturation turned up to 11, drow have their saturation down to 1
This was a great resource guys! Much appreciated. Just getting back into the game since I was a kid and so much has changed. Just started a new campaign after DMing with my kids to relearn everything and I chose to be an Eladrin Wizard. Because They are essentially new to me I created a background that is open to me learning how to play the role. My character was found by an old wizard and fostered by him until he passed of old age; leaving me just as I come of age. My character does not know anything about his past before being found and does not really know what it means to be Eladrin. A twist I added so I can learn the traits myself as I play and research. Thanks to this video I think I will be mainly winter as I am filled with sorrow and dread and my shadowed past and have zero faith in religions of most sorts.
For the AC question. The Bleeding Effect is what it's called when there's "spill over" from the genetic memories of your ancestors to your memories.
The initial symptoms of the bleeding effect is inheriting your ancestor's skills and abilities. Sometimes the person will be so in sync with their ancestors that they'll start to experience their memories in dreams and even when awake, as hallucinations.
It can get so bad that they lose themselves and they become unable to distinguish reality from memory.
So far, in the AC series, this only happens if youre expeiencing the memories of your own ancestor through your genetic memories. Looking at memories via a DNA sample obtained from someone else has no great psychological effect.
I usually listen to this, but sometimes watch. Brian! Digging the new hair and beard, my dude! Looking sharp!
Eladrin Arcfey Warlock
Double down on your fairy bullshit as hard as you possibly can.
Stack as many teleport abilities as you possibly can, between the race feature, class feature, and them spells like Thunder Step and Far Step.
I'm making an Eladrin Ranger/Druid who's very fire themed. He'll be in Summer form the great majority of the time, but it would be cool to see some scenarios where his season would change in response to what's going on around him.
Edit: Fey Wanderer/Circle of Wildfire, for anyone wondering.
When I selected to be an Eladrin Druid I went (True) Neutral. That’s what was recommended for my species & class 😅
Sawsbuck is the season deer pokemon.
Thank you! My mind just went blank there.
Also deerling
The Dungeoncast thanks.
Playing a DMG variant Eladrin Artificer in the Waterdeep setting. Very excited by it so far! This background helps a lot.
3:30 Eladrin the Gen 2 elves
Thanks for sharing such cool content guys! I love the channel, and it's become my favorite thing to listen to while drawing. Looking forward to drawing some seasonal dudes now : D Thanks for the inspiration
"Son of OG" lmaooo that was hilarious
You're Welcome! Rocking Jack Ford!!! Lol
came here to find more knowledge of Eladrin DnD 5E...left after 8minutes because of the guy on the right..wow
Yes! Ive been waiting for this episode, running an underdark campaign where the boundaries between planes have broken and there is a section where the players might become trapped in the feywild.
Whose here for that sweet sweet misty step? and now looking for lore to back it up?
got an Eladrin in my party this should help thanks guys!
Im about to play an Eladrin Onomancer in an all wizard campaign and this was super helpful!
5:30 - I think the confusion comes from the myth of Kronos having eaten his children, and Zeus, who escaped this fate, tricking Kronos into drinking something that made him throw them back up.
Long story short is that Kronos didn’t trust his kids not to try to overthrow him, ate them as soon as they were born to mitigate damage, but Rhea his baby Zeus, who eventually came back to free his siblings and together they overthrew him. Talk about creating your own enemies!
I believe the Greek God Athena did have a similar birth to the elves, having popped out of Zeus' head after having a headache/a tumor of sorts. Either way her birth wasn't intentional. The headache/tumor formed because Zeus ate someone, I don't know what it is with the Greek people/pantheon and vore, but they eat that shit up (pun intended)!
28:40
dont makes sanes
say sombody in fornds with tons of magisck dragons and other crazy magisck creatures
just blame fay magick ;]
I'm a new DM, and just discovered these guys. I love it
The Leshay are the Fey OG
Mollie Popper! My favorite way to Roll dice
The Shadar Kai are kinda like drow to eladrin
The shadow fell to there fay wild
Drink every time u hear "indeed"
Ummm ok we're gonna keep going now. LOL
So to clarify, most of the titans were born, however when Cronos castrated Uranous when he went to procreate with Gaia some of hia blood spilled on the Earth and specific gods and monsters were born of this event. Also Uranus's bits fell into the sea and released a foam which gave birth to Aphrodite. You can see the same thing take place latter when a dragon is slain by Cadmus (Jason of Agro repeats this later) and they plant the teeth of the Dragon, giving birth to the Spartoi. I used this as the origin of the dragonborn in a Greco-Roman world I built. This process is called autochthones, people sprung from earth itself. The Titans are gegenes. These are literal descendants of Gaia.
It ranks up there with Dwarves being the maggots that chewed on the flesh of Ymir in Norse myth. Body fluids being divine is one of the weirdest things out there.
Currently playing as an Eladrin Monk with Way of Tranquility. It's a little bit of a challenge, but wow is it fun!
I was trying to find a character I can relate to and then I found this race Eladrin. I'm interested in making it a druid (circle of moon at 2nd level)
Does it carry over the abilities/traits of an elf when making a character?
Yes, I think so. All elves get those abilities regardless of subrace so there shouldn't be a problem. However, I feel like Eladrin should have a bonus to Wisdom as they would make amazing druids. I mean, they literally represent the seasons.
@@stevenc4982 it doesn’t really matter a Ton, but is say the bonus goes to either wisdom or charisma
hey will, hey brian
Hey
Looked through my planescape monsters manual I had no idea there was that many types of Eladrin
I would say that the mundane stuff stays the same but stuff from he feywild itself changes, even if other people are wearng it.
What if I wanna play a bipolar eladrin? 🌈
Thats just a normal eladrin lol
Eladrin...those flighty buggers
-Auntie Ethel
Where's the bedroom????
Its behind the bookshelf and also in front of the bookshelf
Soo keen for elves 2 electric boo Ga loo
son of OG should be a rap song... prolly is
Two videos I've watched on this channel and both with The last airbender references...
brian is the definition of chaotic good
I have an Eladrin in my group, and we modified the changing colours to be confined to the eye colour and the tips of her hair. Green, yellow, auburn, white. Also we decided to fuse a skill profeciency to each season so when she changes season, she also changes a skill. That's in the text, but we felt it was a bit OP the way it was written, so we chose the skill proficiencies from her class not chosen, to be the ones that are interchangeable.
And for flavor to her Fey Step, it gives off a cloud in the colours of the seasons. We haven't tested changing the seasons yet, so I'm excited to see how it plays out.
Eladrin, Alladin....its all the same to me.
Hey wait isn't this a playable race
Kal-El 703 they are in the DMG as an example of custom races
They're in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes
Maybe a Shadar-Kai could be considered the opposite of an Eladrin. Not really but it depends on your PoV
I like this, ties better into the extra planar concept and differentiates the Shadar-kai a little more from the Drow for me... Though that whole Underdark versus Shadowfell distinction has proven difficult to parse for me anyway.
@@EmethMatthew
Underdark is just underground.
@@draxthemsklonst 🤨
That's what I thought in middle school... It's magical underground. With whole civilizations and ongoing terrain effects... And literally the DMG has a delineation about how tunnels near the surface, like those the dwarves and gnomes would love in, are regular underground. The Underdark is deeper than that, and where all the cursed and foul things from the bowels of the magical world fester and hate the world of light on the surface.
everything is DBZ, I love it Brian.
Or Avatar the Last Airbender...
I play mine were the wether and the seasons controle what I wake up as
Where do the LaShay fit in to all this
Air benders are monks... Lawful Neutral.
Elves are not like any type of humans. People don't compare them to us.
where the hell did you get this crap that eladrin look like monochromatic statues?
Unfortunately, the official 5E art.
The way Will keeps saying Eladrin is making my fuckin eyeball twitch... the emphasis is on the a... Elaaadrin ... not
"EL-adrin"
I’m not a fan of the lore change. I’m used to the tulani, ghaele and bralani, coure, ect eladrin.
Those still exist, but they're higher ranks among the Eladrin.
This will likely be my only watch of the podcast team. Will's explanations were super informative but Brian's comments made this podcast extra long and annoying (all off topic and not even funny).
