Tolkien Elf Template?

[The Purple Dragon]

I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a template for the Middle Earth Style Elf.

You know,

immortal (for all intensive purposes)
can endure hash climates
not as frail as the dnd elf...

anything out there anyone knows of?

Celestial or Half-Celestial templates from the Monstrous Manual.

You can also check out a Yahoo group that I created to share ideas about a D20 conversion.

Middle Earth D20

In my conversion document (under files), I've given stats for the various Elven races.

Feel free to contribute and give feedback.

Don't forget...

Tolkien elves do not fear the dead.
So agile they can walk on top of snow.
Can shoot a flying nazgul in pitch black.
Make no noise when moving through forests.

It seems to me that a Tolkien elf would be unbalancing. They have a lot of bonuses, but practically no drawbacks. Why would you want to be a human, dwarf, halfling, etc, if you could be a Tolkien elf?

Guess that's why the elves always annoy me whenever I read Tolkien. They're so damn perfect. ^_^

One way that I've made Elves a little more balanced is to give them an ECL rating, such as that given to certain monsters and other powerful races.

I believe that you mean “For all intents and purposes.”
