[QUOTE="Harmon, post: 3568896, member: 24357"] I can see your point on the Elves, but... well, we kinda House Ruled their ages back, cause the twenty years of diapers (or whatever it was) was just to much tow swallow. I have always thought that- hay, the elves live hundreds of years, and were more then likely in this land before anyone else they more then like staked out all the best land for themselves, then they learned from experience how to farm it, what the weather was gonna do, and how to handle it. D&D has never (to my knowledge) been very good at giving Elves a better chance at survival because of their extended life span, but I think they should have something. Also I think that with the Elves being attunded to magic, that they would utilize magic to help people with broken legs from lossing said leg to infection, or that they might use it to advance communications over long distances, etc. Looking at gaming with a bit of reality is helpful, but to much might ruin your fun, and I think that is where you might be- looking at it with to much logic. Step back, give the Elves and their +2 Int, and the generations before to have figured out this all out before you joined them. fwiw- I use to think about stuff like that, but realized that magic would make a world of difference that we (without magic) can not imagine. Good luck & have fun :D [/QUOTE]
