High elves have always been on the fence beween the gray and wood elves so that makes one less sub-race.Sure, that's one more in the phb but at least, each one has its own shtick and I think there are enough elf lovers around to justify the two entries. And the <s>night</s> new elves should be familiar enough to gamers crossing over from WoW.I'm not sure about the half-elf though. The write up might be good but to me, the race's main appeal has always been the pretty looks and exotic background without being a complete fairy. Now that elves can be tall and sturdy, i'm not sure half-elves are necessary.They don't have the same stat bonus and pawahz! The physical differences are minor but it's not like elves have ever been very different from humans. The woodsy elves are sturdier, have darker skins and I don't think they're described as graceful like the eladrin.What if a gnome starts binging and mining? does he become a dwarf?Overall it's a good decision even if i don't like the made up name.The one thing that doesn't work for me is eladrins being more tied to the Feywild than the elves. The descriptions and creatures of the feywild scream woodsy rather than... whatever eladrins scream.</blockquote>
