I'm not so sure about that one. Strip away their magical defenses and I
think they'll die from a bullet just as fast as the next elf. Removing
those defenses is the hard part, though.

Everyone who even saw harlequin remembers they have no stats so they
can't be killed. If a gm had enough of the EI campain he/she may allow
that. The scene from never trust and elf was creative licence that all
authors take. immortal elves are just that immortal. If they weren't
they'd have stats. But nothing stops immortal humans like merlin coming
back and tearing them apart taking earth back from those fragging
dandelion eating pansies.... but i digress.

I got the impression it was age-immunity, and any actual "power" they
had was from being fraggin long-time mages. Example, isn't Ehran's
daughter an "Unknown"? If what you are saying is right, they could
just shot her somewhere non-lethal to find out. Heck, childhood
would indicate it either way [flashback to many childhood scrapes].

The Immortal Elves(tm) don't die of age, and probably have some
nifty-high disease resistances, but they have a "mortal" frame.

If you want to go into speculation, My call would be that genetically
they (perhaps enhanced by innate magic, but they functioned fine in
the "dips") have an incredable cellular and genetic self-repair
capability. That would enable resistance to age, pretty cool
resistance to pathogens, and a nice healing ability. Kind of like a
non-magical, more reasonable regeneration.

in the front pages of harlequin it did stated that harlequin and ehran
are immortal and can't be killed. they have no stats. cause if they
have stats they have limits and can be killed. in a novel professor
laverty gets shot-up by a large number of black ops squad a litteraly
starts regenerating. if we were to put stats i recomend regeneration..
immunity to normal weapons. personnal barriers 10 +... i don't know how
the blue book handled barriers then so not sure. etc... etc... they are
just here to bug us eternally. but i like the idea of an immortal human

Yes, although what they really mean is that they
can't be killed by the PLAYERS, or anything less
than GM plot device.

Any trick that could be done to keep them alive,
they have done, including a
masked/anchored/quickened high force treat
spell, coupled with a bit of earthdawn magic (like
teleport) and a few ally spirits with sorcery and
protective magic. If you have a PC that wants to
attack an IE, think to yourself: is there a spell
that he could have quickened that would help him
here? then guess what, he has that spell
quickened on him, at whatever astronomical
force you need to get him out of the jam.

On the other hand, if Harlequin deciedes to
sacrifice his life in order to actually prevent the
enemy from entering reality this cycle of magic,
then he will in fact die.

Also, on an earthdawn note, you can consider
each IE to have high powered threads tied to a
major pattern item. Destroy the item and...

...All of which can be explained by the spells and tricks a x

Now that idea has some real merit and adventure ideas.
You players are gonna dig deep into the past using legends
and research. Maybe a few fire fights to get away.
Also has the makings of a great novel. Someone please TOAST
that Urdli character. I really HATE him. But seriously
that is a great idea. It'll also throw some new magic in
which the mages really have to work on.

Actually, it turns out that the old elf is quite potent! (In my
universe at any rate) he has several progeny & all are reportedly
"daughters."

Not the least of which is our PC, Vixen, 'tho she doesn't know it, yet.

(Now that I think about it, perhaps that's why she survived those
bioware implants...) Check the B.K.K. website for more info on her.

If anyone has played Earthdawn You would notice that is can be
damned hard to kill a character! Each Character has a chance to Heal all
wounds each day... even if they are fully wounded!!!! Its like they all
have a regen power. Also there are many Talents that I'd say that each of
the Immortals would have. The only thing I wouldn't do is increace thier
Attributes over 1.5 racial max.

That's the same thing I was thinkin. No FASA publication ever said they
were like Highlander immortals and healed wounds faster than others, let
alone that they have some innate damage resistance abilities. According to
Harlequin's Back, "He also possesses enough self-activating protections
and wards to make him virtually invulnerable to all save those who can use
magic on his level" (page 147). To me, that suggests he's just as
vulnerable as anyone else if he were to switch off his magical defenses.

Yep, that would be Merlin, according to T.H. White. I don't know of
anywhere that Gandalf is referred to as living backwards in time.

Nope. It's probably from the cartoon version of the first portion of T.H.
White's The Once and Future King (this was a movie made by Disney),
titled "The Sword in the Stone". If it wasn't actually mentioned in the
movie, it was most certainly in the book it was based off of. I don't
believe the Merlin has even made an appearance in Gargoyles (though he
has been mentioned).

Yep. Gandalf is one of the Istari (aka wizards), a member of those who
served the Valar and were sent to counter Sauron (or his master, I can't
remember which) during the (I think) the First Age.

Yes. ; ) It seems likely that Harlequin's 4th World Name may have been
Caimbeul. Also, I once heard (read) him referred to as "Har'lea'quinn" by
someone. I forget who, however--possibly in one of the SR novels or by

In "Worlds without End" when Harlequin appears before the Tir
Tairngire counsel, he is formorally introduced as "Caimbeul har lea
Quinn", so it can be supposed that's his orginal elven name(at least in
the eyes of the Tir).
If you have any more questions about Harlequin, feel free to Email
me, as Dragonslayer on Shadowland made Dunkelzahn his pet project, I've
made Harlequin mine. :)

Nope. None of them.
It was in the story at the beginning of Harlequin's back "Voice from the

warn him of the Enemies return...

Just outta curiousity, is Worlds Without End a good read? I saw it in the
book store, and read the synopsis and didn't get it.

Help me make up my mind,

Oh hell yes, without a doubt. If you aren't a fan of the Elven Cabal
soap-opera, then you'd probably grow tired of it. But if you like the
Elven Cabal, and ties to Earthdawn, then it's the best. It's my second
favorite book. Spector is one hell of a writer, and it's a shame she
hasn't written more.
The prequels to "Worlds Without End", "Scars" and "Little
Treasures"
are being released as EarthDawn novels this spring(unless FASA changes
it's mind yet again). I can't wait.

Also in one of the intro stories in Harlequin, I do believe....

In the module "Harlequin", he calls Ehran "Eh'he'ran" and Ehran calls
him
"Har'lea'quinn". In Worlds Without End, he's Caimbeul. In the Blood Wood
sourcebook for ED, he's Caimbueul. (All this IIRC...)
