They use the standard PHB racial modifiers (come on, you know +2 Str and -2 Con doesn't belong on the same race... a whole species of sickly strong people?).  Their favored class is ranger.There are also wild elves, sea elves, and drow, but we leave those the same.It all just depends on elves in your world.If you're going for a more accurate favored class by the core PHB elves, there's definitely some wiggle room.  Either way, I don't see it throwing off balance, so just make it what you want.</blockquote>
