Post subject:  Souls and Spirits
I remember that, way back when in a previous epoch of these boards it appears, that Henry made a comment about some races having souls, and some having spirits. For example, a human has a soul, but an elemental or an infernal has a spirit. I don't think that there was a listed description about what the actual metaphysical nature of the two was, but the deviation is interesting to me.

Existing races/groups known to have souls:

Humans (and their various subspecies)
Elorii
Dwarves (and Gnomes)
Ssanu (and presumably the Naga subspecies)
Ss'ressen
Troglodytes (Salamankas?)

Existing races/groups known to have spirits
Elementals
Infernals

Unknown status
Ibon
Sama
Giants (non-Celestial)
Voiceless Ones
Yissera
Hylis
Hussuma
Singarthan Trolls
Gar
Il'Huan
Dragons
Natural Animals

I thought at one point a comment was made that Elorii have spirits (not souls). Am I misremembering or was it changed after that?

Last official word that I heard was that Henry was on the fence about it, but from everything I've seen in canon I am putting the Elorii as having souls until otherwise stated. Seems more sporting ;)

I thought that changed between the last edition and this one. I thought in the 3.5 edition there were specifically some spells that targeted one's soul, and those spells specifically called out that they did not effect elorii. Now they do. But I don't have the old books, so I can't cite examples.

The knife ears are souless. Only a souless race could eradicate 12 species. :evil:

Yeah but from what I recall it was a GOOD idea that some of those races were eradicated. Not every race is all happiness and light...
