If you want the realistic/scientific thing you need to note that muscle is dense, and as such 1lb of muscle is about 6lbs of fat. So Bruce Lee was probably heavier than he looked. He was essentially all muscle and sinew, very little fat. So he would weigh the same as a sedentary office worker twice his size (an example not an exact figure).The poster who jokingly stated that halflings and elves have denser muscle would be 100% correct if their height/weight charts indicated they were heavier on a ration basis. For example a 6' human weight 100lbs compared to a 3' halfling weighing 100lbs would indicate that the halfling density is greater than a human's. However this is not the case.A dwarf however is desner than a human by the height/weight charts in the PHB.Back to the elf. 95 lbs you say ... well to generate a 95 lb elf, you had to have pretty low on the height/weight charts. You're probably looking at a 5' elf in this case.To explain his strength (15) he is probably devoid of fat or close to it. The average - non "peak" human make is about 12-20% fat depending on who you speak to. Your elf may be extremely low in fat (mmm healthy snack for a dragon) so may be 2% thus they could certainly be 95lb but as strong as Bruce Lee.Wow I must be bored ...D</blockquote>
