[QUOTE="Li Shenron, post: 3780805, member: 1465"] I think it's a valid option to having a dozen different subraces. Eladrin -> the original "elven race", outsiders and immortals Elves -> descendants of the early Eladrins who came down to earth and chose a mortal life Drow -> renegade spin-off which separated at certain point from Elves or even earlier Wood elf, wild elf etc. become just different names for Elves, but no subraces (different tribes may have some minor differences). Gray or high elves now are alternative names for Eladrins. Water elves thankfully disappear completely. I don't have any problems with this setup. Maybe Eladrins won't fit in the PHB, but with the new mechanics for race even a race of immortals can be playable, so I wouldn't dislike to see them in the first PHB. Aasimar are a completely different thing IMHO. They're not a race but rather a bloodline. edit: as far as I know about WoW, Eladrin make me think more of the Draenei, and Elves focused on nature are akin to the Night Elves, although AFAIK there is no connection between the 2 in WoW.
