Wings Alternatives

I would love to personalize this by creating some sort of alt-ability that isn't fucking wings. -gm

What about a DM-chosen elemental/outsider companion of 12 HD? (I.e. somewhat like the creatures from Planar Ally.) For balance purposes, I think Druid animal companions are like 16-18 hit dice at this level, a Paladin mount would be ~12HD in this range, and a Leadership cohort could be level 16. -Mattie

Divine Casters of the world

So, Mainland has Clerics, and Petara has Favored Souls as befitting their more decentralized religion. Druids and rangers are the sole divine casters among the Sidhe, and never become favored souls, although both Druids and Favored Souls are rare but not unheard of among the Halflings. -gm
