Hello to all, Poetry here with a few non-Mage related questions please, hope this is the appropriate board :-)
Shapeshifting will be allowed in Aglarond RP, yes or no please? I remember it mentioned, but cant remember decision....
Can the Fae also fly, or only Dragons?
These questions have to do with my character, as I am close to writing her history now.....
Many thanks to anyone who can assist me with this

Hi Poetry, Shapeshifting as a rule is not allowed because it is bad for roleplay. People could be a Drow one day and then be a fae all of a sudden because they need to fly to attack someone. Then the next day they will be a dragon because they think it's cool. All of this doesn't help with rp, so after careful consideration we decided not to create a race of shapeshifters.  Of course Fae can fly. Every race that has wings can ask to get flight permission. We will put a notecard on the docks soon to help with creating a character too. ;D Safe winds! Amin |

I also feel that shape-shifting makes good rp hard to accomplish. For all the reasons that AMin gives and also because this would make is MUCH more difficult for a shapeshifter to develop their rp story and maintain it effectively. Well.....maybe somebody could but I dont see it as possible. Glad to have you here, welcome!
Redonja ;D

Thank you both for your kind replys :-) The shapeshifting i was thinking of, was a Mermaid, to have legs when on land......i have heard that can be acceptable, still a Mer person, but with legs when on land.......i am sorry i was not more clear with my question OR with the race i am thinking of.....is this a given in RP? or also best to not do?
either way works for me, as i am already rethinking my characters history :-) by the way, sorry for soooooooooooo many questions, i am researching on my own as well :-)
many thanks,
Poetry

That sort of shapechanging is fine. Let me break it down a little.
Allowed shapeshifting: Your example where a mermaid comes from the water onto land and their fin changes to legs. A werewolf who can change from being a wolf to a human/elf again.
Disallowed shapeshifting: Being any race you feel like at the time i.e. being a mermaid one day, a minotaur the next, a bird a bit later, a fox after that... etc.

A mermaid can have legs on land.  The only point was shapeshifting should not be a sport. ;D |
