Yes you can be an "elf" if you really want, but all you are is a human that has had a body sculpt to have pointy ears.Well in D&D assuming they have wings or access to fly spell, then that seems something you could say "yes, you can try" to. You might want to consider trouble breathing by rapidly climbing to that altitude (See page 110 of DMG) or just ignore it depending on the style of game you are playing. Also at a fly speed of only 60ft, it is probably not something they will be able to achieve in a normal combat. But maybe the player has found some loophole, combining other spells and abilities to go much faster. It isn't the sort of thing you would just say to "No" out of hand .See to me the 10th level Ranger ability "Hide in Plain Sight" isn't needed to hide in plain sight by taking the time to camouflage yourself anyone can do it if they take the time and aren't being observed. Just the ranger gets +10 bonus to stealth checks when they do. So that's something I would say yes to within the rules.</blockquote>
