Aihrde Missing Race?

[Alden]

I'm posting this here because it falls under C&C, my niece recently received a copy of the Players Guide to Aihrde. She was really excited about a race called the half-faerie listed among the other races in the age and height/weight charts in the beginning of the book on page seven. However neither she nor I could find any information on the race anywhere else in the book. I suggested she take the initiative and try making a version of it herself and she currently trying to create a half-faerie race. I'm just wondering if this was an oversight, and maybe something was added to or subtracted from the book, that maybe shouldn't have been?

My guess is the language used is Trollspeak and it should merely have said "half-elf."

The authors sometimes get cutesy.

However, a half-fey would be, potentially, interesting. I know I've used a folklore-inspired version of gnome in my personal setting so something more along the darker pathways would be fun... vulnerability/refusal to use iron, mirror/reflection magic, nature affinity, shield surfing archery.... you know, the usual.

Hackmaster 4e has a supplement called "The Adventurers Guide to Pixie Fairies" that has lots of fey variants one could easily port over to C&C. But used copies are running around $50 on Ebay. Even better, there are fey races in "The Crusaders Companion." Is that still available online somewhere?

I'd agree with you except half-elf is listed right above it, on all three charts on page 7.

I actually already own that book, but it's been more than a decade since I've even looked at it so I didn't even remember that. I'll bookmark the page and give it to my niece later. Thanks for the info.

I have a home brew Sprite race I made for one of my campaigns as well, though it is more in line with anime/manga trope. PM if interested.

Hero's Journey has a Half Fay race. It might fit, and it is fairly easy to convert anything from Hero's Journey into C&C.

Interesting things about it is if the character does nothing that draws attention to themself, people will not notice them &/or forget they were there. Really useful for a thief type. The cost is that normal animals are spooked in the presence of one.
