[QUOTE="Angcuru, post: 1486657, member: 10948"] Why so long to mature? No good reason that I've seen printed in any game books. Just like them having the sudden urge to abandon their families and go to some mysterious happy place as soon as they hit 700 or so. The whole concept is there just to add a semblance of balance to elves, to put them somewhat on par with humans. This is just a really dumb idea. They're immortal creatures, so just leave it at that. :] IMO, I also can't see any real reason for an elf to adventure. Wanderlust my toenail clippings, if you're immortal and surrounded by beautiful people and provided with everything you'll ever need, you aren't going to go adventuring. I say either you keep elves immortal and an NPC race, or slap them with mortality and rule that it makes no sense for a creature to mature physically in 25 years and take four times as long to mature mentally. If the average elf lives to 400, they are fully physically and mentally matured by age 100 or so. etc. etc. D&D elves are a mish-mash of different ideas and opinions that look good individually, but are really quite inconsistent. I'd either take them out of the settings/system or give the whole race a total overhaul. :] But that's just me. ;) [/QUOTE]
