[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5838189, member: 92511"] Thank ye. I like to thinks so. 'Ky not likin' you so much right now. ;) They already WERE portrayed as different races with different mechanics. I don't know anyting abotu 4e, so you'll have to forgive me on that...but they did, as various sub-races ("species", I would have preferred) have varying mechanics and edging toward certain classes. If they'd said "Eladrin are Grey Elves" I'd probably have significantly less venom for them. Take the rarest race of elf and make them some other-worldly "fey"race? Sure, ok. Not, again the standard, "High elves." So, to your point, yes, name does matter. But why do you like them? Why were they necessary? Calling them "High elves" and "Grey Elves" and "Wood elves" was too complicated for people? Completely UNnecessary as a "separate race" with "separate mechanics." "Secret admin powers ACTIVATE!" FTW...every time. lol. LMAO! THANK YOU! That's perfect! I despise Rob Scheider. [EDIT] Can't even spell his name right, I hate him so much, apparently! lol. "Schneider", there. I did it. :D[/EDIT] HEY PC! Can you go back in the poll and add "Kender" for me? lol. Just so. I'm not about denying anyone their fun! That's what the game is about, after all. Right. I get that. And that makes total sense. I guess it's a personal understanding/acceptance of the idea of angels (at all!) and devils (much more believable) sleeping with mortals all of the time. Absolutely! As I said. Seriously, man. As a completely untrained therapist with a single psychology class over fifteen years ago under his belt, LET THE HAIRFEET GO!:p:p:p [/QUOTE]
