[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 9285942, member: 7025508"] I'd kill the gnomes and divide their stuff among halflings and dwarves. Halflings can get hippy animal friendship stuff and dwarves can get the tinkering. I think dwarves in particular would benefit from this; they're conceptually very narrow. Elves are kinda hard to do well. In theory I like them, but I have come to dislike how they seem to have just become "pretty humans." I'd like them to be more ethereal and weird. They often come across just as humans with pointed ears. In my current setting I don't have elves, and the closest equivalent is a species of small weirdoes with horns and tails, which discourages their use as human replacements. In another setting I have been contemplating, I have leaned more into the Celtic origins of the elves, making them more fae and otherworldly. Also, am I imagining this, or have D&D elves gotten taller over the years? Like I recall that in my redbox D&D they were quite short, but as people didn't think that's cool enough for elves they have gotten progressively taller? [/QUOTE]
