Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 8349856" data-attributes="member: 7006">This is how it has always been since the game was invented.  99.99% of people play what they think is cool... not to get into the mindset of an alien creature and trying to give an accurate representation of what being that type of creature would be.  This is a game first and foremost, not an acting exercise.How many people out here have had long philosophical arguments with themselves about how a truly "long-lived" species might behave?  How would an 600 year old elf actually act?  And how would you portray that at every game session, in every roleplay encounter, and in every combat?  Why is this elf going out to "adventure" now, after 600 years, to team up with these insolent Humans who just can't sit still? Does that kind of stuff actually enter your mind on every decision you make when your wood elf rogue is leading your party members into some deadly dungeon? My guess is 99.99% of you do not. Instead, your experience is the same as most of us... your PC (whatever race it is) goes into the dungeon and kills stuff and takes their treasure. The exact same methodology players have had for over 40 years, whether they were playing humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, gnomes or whomever.And with that methodology... it doesn't matter in the slightest what the color of skin your PC has.  So if you want it to match your own regardless of the race... there's absolutely no reason for you not to be able to do it.</blockquote>
