[QUOTE="Moon-Lancer, post: 2755534, member: 35798"] Funeris, I wish I was in your campaign. Sounds like it would be alot of fun to play an elf. I always like role playing the underdog. Being uneq is also fun so being the only elf in alot of the cities would really let that character stand out from all the humans. And when that character meets another elf that encounter is that much more potent. Fighting off extermination with low odds of survival seems very romantic/heroic to me. When i role-play elves, i tend not to play them as arrogant @$$ holes, but understanding and wise. Longer lived races (that are commonly good) in my opinion would see generations of humans fight and kill each other for fickle reasons and the elves would realize going to war for greedy kings is not heroic or brave. Thus they would live similar to how races of the wild shows them and would explain why they are usually chaotic good. Most elves that think they are superior to humans probably (if I were to role play them) Might think they are better then humans… but trying to convince one of superiority is a fatal mistake. An elf would not say he is better. He would show the human through action and ideas that he is clearly better. He would leave it to the human to only use empty words to try to explain to another how amizingly awsome he. he would let humans talk the talk, but chuckle when they fail to walk the walk. [/QUOTE]
