	Bladelings have undergone a ''lot'' of different looks over the editions, going from elfin humanoids who just happened to be bristling with spikes in the Planes of Law boxed set, to an armor-plated, chitinous-looking creature in the 3rd volume of the Monstrous Compendium Appendix Annual, to a demented spiky purple [[goblinoid]] in 3e's Monster Manual II, to ~~what has since become their definitive design in 3e of~~ a purple-skinned humanoid who just happens to be covered in spikes.

	They are always up for a good fight. They don't need weapons as their bodies alone are good enough. Being Lawful evil (neutral) they are known to be xenophobic and harsh to those that approach their lands although courteous enough to travellers they meet on the road. It is best not to pry too deeply into a Bladeling's business though as they discourage such attention in harsh ways.		They are always up for a good fight.

	In Dragon #419, the profile was tweaked. The ability score modifiers became +2 Wisdom with a flexible +2 bonus to either Dexterity or Strength, they gained a skill bonus to Arcana as well as Intimidate, and they gained the Barbed Body racial trait (inflict 2+1/2 your level damage on a creature when either you escape from its grapple or it escapes from your grapple) in addition to Acid Resistance and Razor Storm. Improved Razor Storm was also changed; now it caused the bladeling's Razor Storm to hit a Close Burst 2 and to do ongoing 5 damage on a critical hit.		In Dragon #419, the profile was tweaked.

	Dragon ~~complimented~~ the profile tweak with three new feats in the form of Bladed Fists (your unarmed strikes do 1d6 damage, +2 proficiency bonus to unarmed strikes), Bladed Stalker (your unarmed strikes are High Crit weapons), and Brutal Blades (your unarmed strikes have the Offhand Weapon property, your Razor Storm uses D8s instead of D6s), as well as five racial utility powers: Rending Spines (enter a stance that slows you and drops your defenses in exchange for inflicting damage on all melee attackers), Gouging Blade (until encounter's end, do +1d6 damage with melee attacks to adjacent enemies), Improvised Portal (turn a door into a portal that links another spot up to 20 squares away), Planar Jaunt (at the end of an extended rest, you can trade 3 healing surges to teleport yourself and all allies within Close Burst 5 to teleport to a teleportation circle of your choice), and Bred for Battle (enter a stance that boosts AC, makes you immune to being marked, grants you +2d6 damage with melee attacks, and lets you spend healing surges to recharge Razor Storm instead of healing). With the exception of Improvised Portal, which is an Encounter power, all of these are Daily powers.

	Bladelings actually haven't appeared in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] at all so far - officially, that is. They can be found in the third-party [[~~splabook~~]] series [[Ulraunt's Guide to the Planes]], specifically ther volume focusing on [[Acheron]], which provides mechanics for them not only as monsters, but also as a playable race. Lore-wise they've reverted back to their classic [[Planescape]] lore.		Bladelings actually haven't appeared in [[Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition]] at all so far - officially, that is.

	In [[Planescape]] they live in the city of Zoronor which located on Ocanthus, the bottom layer of [[Acheron]]. This is one of the most inhospitable places in the Multiverse, the razor-sharp shards of metal flying around are capable of tearing an unprotected person to shreds in a matter of seconds. As such, once they settled on Ocanthus they founded a great city surrounded a thick layer of wood they dubbed the Blood Forest. This layer stops most shards the layer throws at them: the big ones who do get through tend to get lodged in the Blood Forest and reinforce it. The Bladelings worship the layer as a god, naming it Hriste, the Gray Whisper. They believe that Hriste creates new Bladelings and in return give the forest living sacrifices.

	In [[3.5e]] they featured in [[Monster Manual]] 2 and were a terrible enemy to use because of it lowering its AC when using its most powerful attack. The Planar Handbook for the same setting introduced a race called the [[Spiker]]s, who were supposedly relatives of the bladelings - in reality, these were mostly a poorly-named, watered-down playable version of the race.

	With the loss of Acheron in 4th edition, Bladelings underwent a drastic revamp. They first appeared in the 4th edition [[Manual of the Planes]], where their former home city of Zoronor had migrated to [[Bane]]'s domain in the [[Astral Sea]] as the closest thing in [[Chernoggar]] to a port city. The bladelings themselves appeared in the monsters section of the book, where they received a PC writeup - a D&D first! - and tantalizing new lore. Minimalistic, as tended to be the case in 4e, it stated that bladelings were former servitors of Bane, who had been transformed in order to make them into superior soldiers. However, something had happened that had led to the vast majority of the race abandoning their former god.		With the loss of Acheron in 4th edition, Bladelings underwent a drastic revamp.
