[QUOTE="Reynard, post: 2650436, member: 467"] On a kind of serious note regarding this, while I don't like the idea of the elf druid per se (unless they are 'wild elves') I do think elves make good candidates for D&D eco-naut types. Not so much because they have gods tat tell them to like the plants and flowers, or even because they have kinship with fey and other magical forest creatures. Rather, elves are so long lived, and individual elf can actually see the impact his village (as well as simple climate) has on the wilderness and would be acutely aware of the balance between civilization (you can't make magical elven bread without fields) and nature. Besdies, the elf recognition of natural beauty would occur on a wholly different level than that of humans' (which might be better described as awe) -- I mean, when you can actually watch a river change course and carve into the earth, you would see it very differently.
