question about sea elves

[Delta7]

I have a few questions please about sea elves.

What classes would be most appropriate for a sea elf?

Can someone clarify about the starting weapons of a sea elf, and the disclaimer(Under no circumstance does a Sea Elf start with other proficiencies than what is listed. Sea elves washed upon the shore and being raised by regular elves therefore gaining the regular elf proficiencies with the Sea Elf bonuses will not be approved)

What starting weapon feats does a sea elf have, and what can he not take at character creation?

As far as summons go, It is my understanding that summons are directly related to deity correct?
What would a cleric of Shindaleria summon at various lvls, and what would a wizard summon?

Would a wizard sea elf be unusual?

Ranger sea elf? Can start with bow proficiency?

Any feedback about sea elves would be much appreciated, thank you

I have a few questions please about sea elves.

I think any class can work for a sea elf, as long as you can work around the "restrictions" and such.

As far as summons go, It is my understanding that summons are directly related to deity correct?
What would a cleric of Shindaleria summon at various lvls, and what would a wizard summon?

A cleric of Shinaleria summons water types. So water elementals that get increasingly more powerful as you level.

A wizard would summon based on his or her alignment unless you used the censer (which you can purchase at temples) to change them to the clerical summons.

Would a wizard sea elf be unusual?

*ANY* sea elf is unusual. A wizard is not so strange. I know of one sea elf wizard in game currently.

Ranger sea elf? Can start with bow proficiency?

You can play a ranger, sure; however, I would not think using a bow would be appropriate. For one, sea elves do not have the bow proficiency.  How would this be done while underwater? If a bow is made of wood, the salt water would be very detrimental to it, not to mention the bow string. Plus...I am not sure arrows would work so well underwater. It would be possible to take the weapon proficiency after creation however. You could RP learning the bow and then take the feat. Starting with the bow would make no sense though.

A ranger would still be possible though.

Any feedback about sea elves would be much appreciated, thank you

Sea elves are fun to play. I play a cleric of shindaleria and I have a lot of fun with her. We need more sea elves, as there are only three that I know of, including mine.

Playing a class other then cleric would be very cool A druid, ranger, fighter....anything really would add some variety. However, clerics are still very welcome as Shindaleria does not have a very large base in game.....yet.

Hope this has helped some!

Ranger sea elf? Can start with bow proficiency?

Ranger can work, but you can NOT use bows. As you say "Under no circumstance does a Sea Elf start with other proficiencies than what is listed. Sea elves washed upon the shore and being raised by regular elves therefore gaining the regular elf proficiencies with the Sea Elf bonuses will not be approved" So your elf would come from the sea for the first time when you create him. He would not know what a bow is, let alone know how to use one.
And apart from that, you also don't have room between your fingers as a sea elf, you have webbed fingers and toes, so you can't really pull back an arrow.

And yes, Shindaleria needs some help against the onslaught of Mist

(On a side note, if you want a good archer, go fighter, not ranger. But not a sea elf archer )

id think a sea elf could use a Crossbow, though as something of a speargun, sence there arnt harpoons or anything, though ranged weapons underwater are much different then in air.
