[QUOTE="ergeheilalt, post: 1571170, member: 3460"] I would think these fellas would be almost universally reviled by humans depending on how they acted. They would have exceptionally good diplomats and would likely be very good merchants and traders. Now, it depends on the usual demenor of these empathic elves. I would seriously not be happy with someone who could read my thoughts and would then proceed to jibe me about it. However, if they were subtle - kept their empathic abilty secret - most people would regard them a mysterious or exceptionally preceptive. Depending on the exclusive empathic elven society, language would be both a combination of thought and speech. This could also lead to some misunderstandings with foreigners and possible difficulty learning other languages, however, once mechanics are down - they would quickly pick up subtleties like sarcasm, innuendo, and partial truths. Society as a whole would be a very open thing, lying would be almost inexplicable and their expression of emotions would be sort of a out in the open experience. Hmm, I'm drawing a blank on anything else right now. I'll add some more if I think of anything. Erge [/QUOTE]
