Some random ideas:
Amber might fit the nature theme of elves, since they are solid tree resin. Make them grow from workshop or something else.
And Elf as a surface-only race will not be able to reach the fun stuff. Maybe add some workshop that can dig a shaft to invite the clowns?

I came across some interesting new scripts that will improve fps and add more flavor: deteriorateclothes, deterioratecorpses and deterioratefood.
Those scripts do exactly what they says on the tin: wear out clothes, refuse and food after several months. They will take care of all the corpses and thier clothes after a battle without the use of atom smasher also prevent player from sitting on a hundred years worth of food.
And they are easy to activate, go check http://dfhack.readthedocs.io/en/stable/docs/_auto/base.html.

Edit: the progress of the illithid mod, if anyone care: creature, body plan and basic interaction are done, civ, equipment and reaction will be next. Items with item-trigger will be added later.

Edit 2: After consideration, I think dnd-like illithids will be too powerful, also doesn't fit in dwarf fortress universe. The new illithids be slaver race in dark fortress. They will stun their enemies and eat their brains! Prepare your Tin foil hats.
Beholders will also not be dnd-like, after all this is not a dnd conversion mod. They get new castes, each castes have unique abilities, basically different type of projectiles for each castes.

Edit 3: Should I make a standalone post like ☼Illithids☼ - Everything Illithid Mode? I think my posts are irrelevant to this thread.

Well I think the most problem making is that, lore-wise Elves live on trees and make everything out from trees, and those can't be implemented.
IIRC there was a playable Elf mod, Elves get wooden weapons/armors form reactions, but the tree-loving hippy ethic made it always a loyalty cascade when a fight broke out.

Hello Fenix, how is Gnomes going? Will they be updated?

BTW how is the Naga thing going?

Books/scrolls/instruments/goblets with interactions and dances/rituals will be fun.

I've been busy on Hearthstone for a long while, so what's new here? Are there any new playable race? How is Goblins, Elves and Nagas going?

I think it depends on the materials, any tissue connections, stuff like that. Hair and feathers I think tends to allow things to pass through most of the time.

Thanks a lot! Time to make a incorporeal "ghost" invader for more fun.
