[QUOTE="werk, post: 2754939, member: 29663"] I have a character playing a sun elf (+int) wizard IMC and he plays the same way, snobbish, haughty, etc. I think it is spot on for his race and background, a lesser noble shunned by his family for being a jerk. We have another elf in the party, a green or wood elf (+str), who plays the quiet, strong type, also spot on. When I played an 'elf' in another campaign, I played him strait-up, like a human, because he was a paladin of Tyr. I've never had much of a problem with players roleplaying racial stereotypes, so long as they are in line with the character. Nor do I understand all the elf hate on these boards...at all. If I were in the game, playing a non-elf, and one called me a monkey more than once, he'd be instructed not to call me or any other party members monkeys again unless he wants his ears removed and shoved up his pee-hole...then I'd prolly scratch my butt and sniff it.
