Right. 20-ft. tall elves...).What the heck?Okay, the Ocean Strider I can kinda see (elves are fey-ish, and this is a fey, so there could be some kind of connection), but yeesh...I blame the elvish affirmation league, personally. Those little buggers have been trying to gain ground ever since Corellon had eyeshadow in Deities and Demigods.It's probably better than I'm making it out to be, but why's it gotta be elf? Can't it just be "human?"Heh. Sorry. Prolly a waste of time, but it's a minor pet peeve of mine.Oh, and I did like most/all of the MM2. Haven't gone into a lot of detail, I just remember the elf thing stood out at me. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
