[QUOTE="Ilbranteloth, post: 6990135, member: 6778044"] I've given some real life examples, but that's OK. From the Ranger discussions (among others), I know that you lean towards the more restrictive side of things and I'm fine with that. And I've also said that if they were being stared at, it would be with disadvantage anyway. 90% of the time it's going to occur in those moments that somebody looks away. In my direct personal experiences, along with studies, scientific studies, and such I'm quite comfortable with it being mundane. On the other hand, elves in my campaign are viewed as having some abilities beyond the capabilities of humans (and they do), whether it's due to magic, a by-product of their long lives, or whatever is really left to speculation by me...on purpose. I'm not really concerned about whether it's magical or not as I am about how the world views elves, etc. From a game/mechanical standpoint, all that matters is that they can do it. So I guess in my campaign, much of the world sees many of their abilities as magical, as the world-builder (or modifier, since it's the FR), I consider it mundane. They're just better. [/QUOTE]
