How many different elves does this game need?

Six. The PHB 3, drow, avariel, and sea elves. And that's it.

Eladrin, Elves, and Half-Elves in the PHB just seems excessive.

Nah, that's fine. As long as drow are the only other variety of elves that are basically standard humanoid, we're good. The whole point of doing the elf/eladrin split in the PHB was to cut down on the scores of subraces later.

I agree. I think they should have cut half-elves (sorry guys).

I'm all for that.

The difference between eladrin/elves and gnomes/other short races is that the former seem pretty distinctive from one another, while the latter never were in any meaningful way. Oh, and gnomes are silly.
 



Why? Thank Tolkien- elves are just better than everyone else. At everything. And they're prettier. It doesn't matter what their DnD stats are.
