Editing Reggelid

One of the more minor races of [[Dark Sun]], '''Reggelids''' are a race of strange [[elf]]-like beings only found near the Jagged Clifs, where they wage a bitter war against the ''rhul-thaun'', the relatively advanced [[halfling]] civilization that still lingers on the peaks. Resembling tall, gaunt, wide-mouthed elves with six-fingered hands, reggelids are ''obsessed'' with arcane magic, and specifically the powers of [[Defiler (Dark Sun)|defiling magic]]. Their society is literally made up of tribes of aspiring wizards, who are content to dwell in primitive villages made of wooden lean-tos or converted caves, where they focus on studying and honing their abilities. In terms of rulership, of course, reggelid tribes are [[Magocracy|magocracies]]; the strongest spellcaster rules, and the others obey. Even when fighting other beings, reggelids only respect spellcasters (or those with innate spell-like abilities) and will express that respect by targeting them first. Such is their hatred for the rhul-thaun that they have even developed spells specifically to defeat the [[Fleshcrafting|lifeshaped]] guardians and weapons that the rhul-thaun breed.

Reggelids appeared in the [[splatbook]] "Windriders of the Jagged Cliffs", and were subsequently reprinted in the Monstrous Compendium Appendix Annual Volume 3. They never officially made it out of [[Advanced Dungeons & Dragons]] 2e, perhaps due to their close tie to the "Revised Edition" lore, but were updated to [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]] by fans in the [[netbook]] "Terrors of Athas", which even went so far as to give them the following PC stats:
::Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Dex, +8 Int, -2 Cha
