D&D Race Survivor -- Round 4

[lukelightning]

Man, this was a hard one. I can see valid reasons to kick off both elves and dwarves. They are both prone to terrible cliches. I give humans an exemption from the cliche problem because the human cliches are at least believable.

For me, one of the elves' biggest problems is their lifespan. You have 70-year-old elves just starting their careers; what are they, retarded? Dwarves have a somewhat similar problem but not as pronounced. Then there are all the special elvish PrC's which all seem to be about one thing: shooting arrows. Arcane Archer, Deepwood Stalker, etc. How many elvish archer PrC's do we need?

Meanwhile, dwarves are just munchkinny. Plus the "arrr I speak with a vaguely scottish accent" thing gets very tired. And it seems like every dwarf in existance is the last remaining member of a destroyed clan.

Funny enough, I have almost never run into the scottish dwarves, and I don't think I have ever played with the 'last member of the clan'. Just lucky I guess.

You're very lucky. About 99% of the dwarves that I've seen played use that same lame scottish accent. :\ It gets old very quickly. For that reason, I'm also voting against the dwarves. Never seen the 'last clan member' thing though.

Also, I’ve been a dwarf fan since the 80’s and not for any reason listed above.

Since you cannot like elves without being a power gamer, elven fanboy and what not, I cannot let that one slide for you, sorry.
