Editing Spirit Folk (section)

==3e==
Because the Forgotten Realms splatbook was not officially connected to the 3e ''Oriental Adventures'', the only major difference is that Mountain Spirit Folk were not given the "Spirit Subtype" ability featured in the Bamboo, River and Sea Spirit Folk. This ability is easily retconned in, and so the four subraces are presented in one for ease; ''Unapproachable East's'' River Spirit Folk was statistically identical to the ''Oriental Adventures'' version, and so that means only Mountain was unique.
