[QUOTE="Ferrix, post: 1716958, member: 6115"] Nope, they have their place easily. They can be fun to play, hell even the holier than thou types can be fun to interact with in a party. Particularly if you're a dwarf ;-) All in all, I'm not so overly connected to the mythology of elves nor the tolkien elves that I can't shift them around so they fit properly in a game world I run or as a character I play. [sarcasm]The subraces, yeah lots of 'em, but then there are three standard halfling subraces plus the ones from FR. Oh yeah, and don't get me talking about dwarves, let's see we've got a ton from FR and then there's the three or four in the core books. This subrace stuff really has got to go. Oh, almost forgot about gnomes, well they're a bit better, but since they look funny and have that commonly associated dragonlance tinker blow stuff up background they're out, that's right, no more gnomes.[/sarcasm] Yeah, no problem here, I prefer to give the different races a modified feel in my game worlds, but there are usually bits and pieces drawn from all sorts of literature. Don't need to be gettin' all classical now. [/QUOTE]
