We are able to create new creatures so clearly making some vanilla longbows would be a great idea, totally not wasting Rule of Cool
Vanhere Muscle-bound elves who wield an axe and a sword and go berserk. They are considered holy warriors by the other elves.

Also totally not a copy off Dom5 Vanheim

While, on principle, I want a melee unit, I don't think elves are the way to go. And I do see the importance of improving what we have, first. That being said, I think I will add in my own recommendation, and hope that, in the next phase we consider voting on it, because we need a melee character, to compliment any ranged character or we will fall behind/ fail to get ahead.

Cytosár: a large bipedal creature made of thick bark. It lacks any true facial features, and it's "limbs" are a crude imitation of what looks more like branches, then arms and fingers. It is sturdy, though, and, if given the opportunity to grab an opponent, can grow it's "fingers" into them, to gain access to any moisture inside, or even outright attempt to trip them apart.

I'm going to go with bows as well. However, I'm not sure if just longbows are sexy enough. So I suggest the Sylvari Bow.

Sylvari Bow: When elvish children are born, a tree is planted to grow with them. They form a strong bond, with the young elf nurturing and caring for the tree, and the tree providing practice for the elf's nature magic. Families grow great groves of these trees, representing the strength of the elvish clans as the forests grow in the Light.  When an elf prepares to become a warrior, their tree begins to grow a special limb. This limb is becomes the focus of the trees growth, and become strong and dense, with large vessels for nutrients and water. Once ready, the elf removes the limb and shapes it into a strong bow, , with curled tips for additional strength. The draw weight is several hundred pounds, far too much for mortals, but due to the elf's bond to the tree from which the bow came from and a their slight inherent ability for nature magic, the Sylvari bow bends to the will of the elf, allowing them to fire many shots easily without tiring while providing much more power to each arrow sent compared to the light bow.

I like it. Interesting, but not overly ambitious. Accomplishes the same goal, but better thanks to the application of magic, and not in a boring way.

A bit worried about how the cost for it might turn out, but the idea is cooler, it's still an improved bow and it probably would have better damage than the longbow.
With the special bond that a sylvari bow has, it could help synergize with future upgrades.

Let's go for unanimity before the GM gets back.

Sorry, but I'm leaving my vote with the improved wings. At the very least, I want to make it clear that that's still a high priority for us to fix.

[johiah]

Hopefully I can be more involved in this than in Spire Race. And by involved, I mean not going on multiple trips during the most important part.

I get the impression that we should have gone with longbows.

Anyway, we doing ents, or we doing better Sgiath?
