What about the Dohwar is fey other than them being labeled as such? I don't have the statblock in front of me.

All I know is they are typed as Fey in the statblock. shrugs.

Perhaps another symptom of UFS (Unnecessary Fey Syndrome).

I think it has to do with their traditional friendship and societal alliances with gnomes.

 

[darjr]

Gnomes make fey of us all.

Gnomes make fey of us all.

ESPECIALLY the Penguins.

Fine: we'll make Dohwar ANOTHER Elf.

Nothing. The only reason I can imagine making them fey is that you can then imagine they come from the Feywild instead of a planet of their own, and this edition of Spelljammer doesn't seem to want to have planets with sentient beings on them.

I will say that's its kind of cool they made reigar "evolved humanoid octopuses." It makes me want them to be a variant on the new Pode heritage from Gate Pass Gazette. It's incredibly stupid that they made war their main art, however. They weren't even big on war in 2e. War implies organization. Reigar just liked killing things in artistic ways.

...I'm going to have to convert their mecha and laksu.

Speaking of dohwar, ages and ages ago I converted them to 5e. The pdf was a big mess because of problems with Homebrewery--I should really re-make them some time. But if anyone wants my version of the dohwar, here you go.

Problem with that is Outsider also covered a lot of other things - fiends, modrons, slaadi, rilmani, and lots of other Outer Planar creatures.

I don't see this as a problem, and would prefer if they were all still outsiders.
