Tolkien created the common-day concept of elves being basically human-sized, very "magical" (Tolkien repreated had the elves say that the elves were not working magic, it was just another skill to them) and skilled people.     Besides that, i go for accessibility, meaning i have Sea Elves (which Tolkien only had sea-side elves, not ones which lives under the sea) i have black-skinned dark elves (though i dont call them drow, Tolkiens dark elves were just "rebels" which constitutued every elf which lived on midlle-earth and didnt cross the sea), i have wood elves (the most common adventuring ones, ie Legolas), high elves (ones that stay in their homeland, ones that went accross the sea in middle-earth) and half-elves (much more common than in Tolkiens world, ie Elrond). These distinct varieties are basically dumbed-down versions of the numerous elves sub-groups. I do this for playability.    now, after all that, heres my idea of elves. Elves have a long tradition of fighting, they can be killed, but only by un-natural reasons (fighting, sorcery), but they are physically weaken than humans, they are amazingly fast and light on their feet, have amazing sight, and hate orcs and dark elves.High Elf-1 Str, +2 Dex, -1 Con, +2 Wis, +2 Chamedium sizebase land speed +5low-light visionkeen vision 3x as far as humanImmunity to all diseases+2 Balance, Move Silently, Listen, Search, +4 Spotbonus profs: Shortbow, Long Bow and composite versions+1 Damage on Orcs, Goblins and Dark Elves>>>since this is obviously more powerful than standard races, elves have a racial level which they must take. This doesn't count towards exp penalties, but they must gain 1000 exp before taking their first class level. as for skills, i judicate it so that their first level in a class, they gain the standard x4 (a break to the standard ruels, but not a major balance issue)HD=d8 | +0 BAB | bad fort, good ref and will | skills 4+int modclass skills are balance, craft, diplomacy, knowledge, listen, move silently, perform, search, spotFavoured Class: Druid(if you wish to make them more like a standard elf, remove the +2 Wis, add in +2 Int, adn make favoured class Wizard)hope this helps, not sure if it wil, but good luck man</blockquote>
