Editing Vedalken (section)

==Dungeons & Dragons==
Vedalken were given rules as a PC race option in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] via the free online article "[[Plane Shift]]: [[Kaladesh]]", where they had the following statblock:
::Ability Score Modifiers: +2 Intelligence, +1 Wisdom
::Size: Medium
::Speed: 30 feet
::Vision: Normal
::Vedalken Cunning: You have Advantage on Int, Wis and Cha saving throws against magic.
::Aether Lore: You double your Proficiency bonus when making Int (History) checks relating to magic items and aether-powered tech devices.

When the Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica was announced, anons began speculating that vedalkens would reappear as one of the new races. Purported leaks surfaced on /tg/ claiming that vedalkens were indeed going to be in that book, with the same basic stats as the Plane Shift vedalken, bar the addition of a new "Partially Amphibious" racial trait (you can breathe water for up to 1 hour, but then must take a long rest before you can do so again), but these turned out to be not entirely correct. They instead received the following statblock, which has attracted some justifiable contempt as being rather overpowered. Additionally, their fluff was retconned, making them still logical and focused, but also more talkative and extroverted, closer to their Kaladesh cousins.
