Holiday Present - The Elf PHB entry

For example, in my campaign they are truly age-immortal, but eventually feel a Tolkien-esqe call because there are only so many elven souls to go around and they may need to die before any new elves are born.

*yoink*

On the stat side it seems like a fairly cool set of stats and nothing that would shoehorns it into only one of two concepts to firmly. The lack of stat penalties help a lot in that regard. Its hard to say much since we only have the elf to look at so far. By itself its cool, whether it is cool when compared to other races we don't know yet.

The mods have told us not to talk about the whole BMI thing.

Anyway, yeah, it's hard to say what these stats mean without context. But I do like the look of the Accuracy power. It's generally useful to any class, but still seems to fit the Elven style. I wonder how many feats and acquired powers they are planning for each race....

Edited per PirateCats previous request which was unread at the time of original posting. By looking at this page, I guess I am not the only one.

As an aside, the book 'Ancient Inventions' is pure awesome, and really inspires for some of the technology you might see in historic games, particularly if you start dosing in magic.

Romans, for example, had obstetric equipment unmatched until the last century or so. Ancient Indians had cosmetic surgery and dissolvable sutures (made of ant heads... weird, but it worked).

It's worth reading to fill your head with bizarre ideas of what you might find in a gnome dungeon, or whatnot...

I am interested. could you give me the full reference to it ? publisher/year/...

How often can the elf use his Elven Accuracy power outside of an encounter?
Let's say he is in an archery tournament, or just shooting fruits on a tree.

It seems there is some disdain for the old elf bonuses to longsword and bows. In general, why are people happy with their removal?

I sort of miss some of the old crazy bonuses such as immunity to ghoul paralysis, ability to find secret doors, etc. I can remember some times when those had a real impact on the game. Perhaps it's my nostalgia talking.

Well, we actually don't know what the Elf and Eladrin can get later on with racial feats and powers. Heck, we don't even know what the Eladrin start with, yet.
