[QUOTE="Particle_Man, post: 3567830, member: 892"] Elves have been described as nature-loving in almost every description of elves that exists (with the notable exception of the Drow). Elves are close cousins of the fey (who are often described as immortal, never mind long-lived), which are woodsy if anything is. D&D even has an arcane hierophant class that explicitly is meant to mix druidic and arcane magic. I think I am on safe ground in saying that the default campaign setting will have druids like elves and elves like druids. Heck there are even subraces of elves that are actually called "Wood elves" and "Wild elves" and one of them has druid as their favoured class, iirc. Of course you could make up a campaign where druids hate elves, but it would be unusual in that respect. Note that a campaign setting in which druids don't like "unnaturally extended lives" would also likely be one in which druids are very stingy with the old reincarnation spell, which would again put the lifetime advantage in the elves' (and undead's) favour over humans. Oh, something else in elves' favour. Elves are traditionally the "elder race", which means that they were usually around long before humans. Meaning that those 200th level elves were around before the first human gained his first PC class level. [/QUOTE]
