[QUOTE="Thanee, post: 1910094, member: 478"] Actually the elf has a lot more skill than the human. It's just in areas, which do not help them in a practical way. The human aquisition of knowledge is primarily one thing... effective. For the elf it is an art in itself. An elf would know much more (practically useless ;)) details, which makes learning such a long process for them initially (until they have a good base of knowledge, hence this does not apply in the same way after adulthood). Same with language... an elf learns for decades how to delicately pronounce every single syllable in the elven tongue. A human, tho able to learn the language, is completely incapable of speaking in the same melodical and perfect way. To an elf it must sound crude and unrefined. There is no practical use, however, it's just flavor. Well, at least that's my excuse why elves are not completely ahead of all the other races... the rules view is simple... balance. Bye Thanee [/QUOTE]
