Editing BLAG (section)

== Races ==


=== Dwarves === 
Thought to be almost extinct during the great war due to their home being in close proximity to The Soha Pacts initial invasion point, a large civilization of these stout warriors was located on an island far to the Zorth of Siverow. This Island was subsequently named Scotland after their first ambassador, Scott. The Dwarves of Smearth are a fiercely loyal race who almost worship their own beards. A Dwarf will look at his beard as a symbol of power and status. Dwarfs are so protective of their beards that it is not uncommon for a particularly cowardly dwarf to shout "Not in the beard!!" when he gets into a fight.

'''Beard Storage''': Dwarves in BLAG are well known for storing things in their beards, such as small trinkets, familiars, snacks, and small sized party members.

''' Dwarf Soup ''': Though many falsly believe that this is soup made from the meat of dwarves, it is in fact a delicacy made by dwarves. The dwarven chef, preferably one with a hearty full beard starts with nothing more that a pot of water. He then brings it to a rolling boil, and then simply lets his beard rest in the water for as long as he desires. The water soaks up all the crumbs and other refuse in the beard and the longer it is left to do this, the thicker and tastier the soup will be. Care must be taken that no halfings are hiding in the beard.

'''Stand Your Ground''': In additon to whenever dwarves are knocked prone, they also receive a saving throw whenever they are reduced to 0 or fewer hit points, fall from a height, or go to sleep. A dwarf may choose to fail any of these and just fall down.

'''Heritage''': Until the age of 20, dwarves look just like halflings. On their 20th birthday every dwarf suddenly puts on about 100 pounds and sprouts the dwarven equivilent of peach fuzz, a 6 inch beard.

=== Halflings ===

The Halfling's of Siverow have mostly kept to themselves for a long time and raised very little fuss. Their home, the Shire was located, until recently, in a secluded corner of Siverow, far away from the ravages of the great war. During the Age of Chaos, however, the Shire was ripped from the Smearth and began to float. This has not deterred the halflings in any way from being a fun loving curious race. They love candy and toys as much as the human children they resemble. Some researchers have been lead to believe that a halfing's over sized head for their body is responsible for their lust for candy, something about the sugar high.

''' Can't ride Horses ''' : Because of their small stature and top heavy anatomy, halflings have a tendency to go flying off any mount designed for a medium sized creature. For this reason, top halfling scientists have created three tiers of mounts for them. In the heroic tier they may ride a tricycle, at paragon tier a Big Wheel, and in epic tier they may ride a Power Wheel.

''' Toddlers with swords ''' : Halflings naturally resemble young humans and dwarves and even the telltale sideburns are often not enough to convince people that they are fully grown adults.

''' Sausage Fingers ''' : A Halfling's fingers not only resemble tasty plump sausages, they frequently taste like them. While no one knows why, this does not stop the halflings from licking them whenever they have a few extra seconds. This should be kept in mind should the halfling ever touch something, he will likely taste it very shortly afterwords. 

''' Halfling Speak ''' : While there is no Halfling language, they still have their own way of communicating with each other so the doublings won't understand them. For example, a doubling  is a human, an ally is a meat shield, and back stab can mean anything from candy to advanced destabilizing warp degradation.

''' Naming Obsession ''' : While each Halfling had a name that everyone knew them by, each Halfling calls each other halfling by a different name causing there to be literally millions of naming combinations which is sometimes why you hear about a 'Reverend Doctor Roscoe Hallelujah Skittles Jenkins' or 'Master Bradley Nickledime Freezejack III'

=== Elves ===

Also known as cupcake elves, the origins of these crafty woodlings is seated in The Cupcake Forest located in Sohim Sorak. The Cupcake Elves are so good at deception and misdirection that, until 20 years ago, no one on Smearth had ever heard of The Cupcake Forest. The Cupcake elves are fiercely at odds with the Donut Elves, though this has never led to open conflict. Some believe that this animosity stems from a person feud between Princess Ellie Elfkins and Col. Elzix Angus.

''' Sub-types ''': The cupcake elves are the most common type of elf, but there are also toy elves that live in the cold weather regions of Smearth. Note that elves, eladrin and gnomes may all be considered toy elves if they live in cold areas.

=== Eladrin ===

Where the Cupcake elves excel at deception and woodcraft, the Eladrin, or Donut Elves, are masters of the arcane. Led by a wizard so powerful that he hasen't needed to show his face in two decades, Col. Elzix Angus, the Donut Elves currently work as freelance trainers, teaching any who wish to learn the ways of the wizard. 

=== Humans ===

They are just humans.

=== Dragonborn and Half Elf===

These races have not been used in BLAG so far.<BR>

=== Genasi ===
Don't talk to the Genie.

=== Gnomes ===
Though gnomes are not as common on Smearth as they once were, they still poke their heads out of the ground every now and then. Having moved underground, they have taken to creating a large amount of burrowing machines, and because of the lack of underground fuel, they must use gumdrops to fuel everything. <BR>
<BR>
''' Gumdrop Poop ''': Gnomes poop gumdrops, and even though they have very little problem using them to fuel there creations, they do tend to get grossed out when people eat them.

''' Sub-types ''': The main types of Gnomes are garden gnomes, shoe elves, and cookie elves. Garden Gnomes have particular reverence for nature and are frequently druids and other primal paths. Shoe elves sneak into peoples house at night and fix things. No one knows why but some think that they are pranks gone wrong. Cookie elves live in trees and bake cookies into the shape of weapons to be used against their foes, but the cream filling usually makes them break under very little strain and not useful at all.

=== Teifling ===
Reports of devils breaking away from Hells army during it's invasion came in from all over Smearth. Apparently they had found a way to give up their immortality and power to live normal lives on the material plane. Their communes are the subject of a great deal of suspicion, but so far very little trouble has come out of the small villages.

=== Devas ===
Cowardly Angels who ran during the war in the heavens. Now cursed with immortality but not the memories of their majestic past or any past each time they die. Just wisps of things that were.
