[QUOTE="Goken100, post: 3841369, member: 42968"] I love elves, but prefer the mysterious version. I've always house-ruled that elves get intelligence instead of dex. So I think Eladrin is a nice accomodation for folks like me. The rest of those silly elf types can hang. Different topic: Half-elves While half-elven characters are fun, I'm sorta bothered by all this talk of "the half-elven race". Why should a scenario need to decribe the roll that half-elves play in society? I think I'd be more comfortable if we were to describe those that have significant elfish ancestry (pick whatever percent you want, say between 25% and 75%) as "elf-blooded" or something. But if we're talking about HALF-elves, then there won't be a "race" of them, nor will they have an impact on society as a group. There'll simply be a few individuals sprinkled around leading interesting and challenging lives. Errr, so in summary: Half-elves aren't that important and are often mis-used, so I'd prefer they not be a race option in the first PH. [/QUOTE]
