There's also no good reason for them to be more graceful than other elves.The differences between wood and wild elf are miniscule. Wood elves used to be civilized but lost it and became wild. The game doesn't distinguish between civilized and noncivilized humans except for one or two classes as is. That's precisely the kind of thing that bothered me about elfitis.I will have to Google this. Never heard of them.I don't see a point to stat mods. I do like the illiteracy thing though as it makes sense. All wild elves would be "book dumb" but not necessarily dumb. I wouldn't give Wild Empathy; what happens if one is a ranger or druid? You would expect that combo to be common. A racial bonus to Wild Empathy would make sense though (any wild elf could try it, but only those trained at it can do it reliably, and these tend to be better at it than other elves).You might learn something about the dwarf distinction eg none mechanically, because it's not needed.Eberron distinguished Aerenal "clerical" elves from the continental "martial" elves pretty well without stat mods or anything like that. FR 4e also distinguished between moon elves, sun elves, star elves, etc without going overboard. Minor differences like different weapon proficiencies and skill bonuses. It's easier this way. Just take standard elf, remove one bonus, add one bonus.</blockquote>
