New elven subrace: Noldor

[Feanor.81]

Since I and at least Gwai love archers, and are both stubbornly convinced that elves should make excellent archers, here comes the proposal for a new subrace, less magic and more fighting oriented.

Given that they are fierce warriors, the most natural choice is Noldor. Plus, they are excellent crafters, so it perfectly fits with the ammo creation (and who knows, maybe one day, smithing) talents

Code: Select all

newBirthDescriptor
{
    type = "subrace",
    name = "Noldor",
    desc = {
        "Originally the Second Clan of the elves in both order and size, Noldor were exiled in Middle-Earth by the Valar after the first kinslaying.",
        "Most of the Noldor sailed back to Aman at the end of the First Age; but some, like Galadriel or Celebrimbor, refused the pardon of the Valar and remained.",
        "In the Third Age, the Noldor dwindled, and by the end of the Third Age the only ones remaining in Middle-Earth were in Rivendell and in Lothlórien.",
        "They possess the Wrath of the Eldar talent, which allows them a boost to the damage both inflicted and resisted once in a while.",
    },
    stats = { str=2, mag=-2, wil=1, cun=0, dex=3, con=1 },
    experience = 1.3,
    talents = { [ActorTalents.T_NOLDOR_WRATH]=1 },
    copy = {
        life_rating = 11,
    },
}

Unless Feanor.81 is the original contributor to the article, the historical description seems to be lifted directly from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noldor. [I wasn't trying to "catch" someone; I was consulting WP to make my own suggestions on the thread.]

Perhaps the Noldor would also have a racial tree?

Grace of Galadriel - (activated) Removes poison; at level 3 removes normal disease, and at level 5 removes strong disease
Art of Celebrimbor - each point gives CUN: +2, +4, +5, +6, +7
Fortitude of Feanor - +5% fire resistance per level
Speed of Fingolfin - each point gives DEX: +2, +4, +5, +6, +7

You're right, I was too lazy to elaborate the text, plus I didn't care much since its contents are free to use

I join the chorus, hurrah!

Oh, shame on me then.

Here's a description:

The Noldor were the High Elves most enamoured of knowledge and the making of things. After the theft of the Silmarils, many Noldor forsook the blessed land and returned to Middle Earth, but for their sins en-route they were placed under the Doom of the Valar. After the Doom was lifted, most of the Noldor sailed west, but a few still remain in Middle Earth. They are implacable foes of the servants of Morgoth, wherever they may be found.
