Elves and fluff, which elf do you prefer?

[Drowbane]

Homebrew: Sidhe as Seelie / Unseelie with the Fey type.
Standard: Drow. As a DM I love using them... and as a player I love cleaving them.

 

[Nightfall]

The dead ones.

Edit: Of course 12 people beat me to the joke. Curse you, Aquascum!

Yeah but I was the one that suggest barbequed!

Forsaken elves are still my all time favorite living elf.

*prefers his Dark Elves LE not CE spider worshippers*

 

[phaeton]

Athasian elves, without a doubt.

 

[Aeolius]

Other: Aquatic

barring that, I'd say Elfquest elves.

 

[Wolf72]

Melnibonéan is the kind of elf i like.

me too!

wait ... I like cerilian elves (Birthright is just a cool setting)

Elfquest is very cool ...

My favorite PC is an Elf fighter from 1e, he's just a High Elf (dark, green eyes variety) who's a good woodsman and excellent archer.

*wolf starts singing badly* I'm just an elf, that's all that they'll let me beeee ...

 

[Aloïsius]

The answer would depend of the game setting and the tone of the campaign. I like most sort of elves, except for the Lawful stupidevil melnibonean/2e faerunian kind (aka Gold elves depicted in so many rulebooks).

 

[Xorial]

Voted other. From D&D as written, Eberron elves of all flavors. Otherwise, I would like the racial stats for d20 elves to more closely reflect the fluff concerning them. PHB elves show no stats that reflect any extra proficiency to magic.

 

[Tinker Gnome]

I pick Dragonlance Elves. A race that despite how much they try to elevate themselves above all the others, are really very deeply "Human."

 

[Nightfall]

Gal,

Yeah well another reason I kept wishing Mina had kept going.

 

[Gundark]

Other... Iron Kingdoms elves. Their last goddess is almost dead and they are a dying race.
