[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8380425, member: 58172"] To be fair, insisting on the D&D narrative tradition that elves personify magical beings, helps DIVERSIFY the elven abilities. Where the elf especially correlates with the description of the Bard class as magical songs and magical artwork, and magical influence, that is Charisma abilility score improvement +2. Likewise Druid elemental magic Wisdom +2, and gray elf Wizard Intelligence +2. Meanwhile, I have also advocated the grugach elf that is superhumanly strong thus Strength +2, and so on like Basic elf corresponding to Strength. The extreme longevity of the elf would normally imply high Constitution. In sum, the elf can choose any ability score improvement to explore any of the many official D&D tropes about the elf. The elf character concepts are fluid. By implication, the Feywild and the Shadowfell are aspects within the Ethereal Plane. The fey are immaterial spirits, like ghosts are. In my setting, the fey elves are strictly magical classes, without martial classes. Humans in the Material Plane are especially martial classes. Nevertneless, an elf who grows up in human culture can become a superlatively good at a martial class, including a +2 Strength improvement. Viceversa, a human who grows up in the ethereal Feywild can be superlatively good at a magical class, including a +2 Charisma improvement using a half feat with an additional +1 to get the +2. Thus there is no essentialism. Merely, different cultures. [/QUOTE]
