[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7144476, member: 58172"] Creative DMs can design Elf cultures that are more appropriate for their campaign setting. For example: [I][B]High Elf Weapon Training:[/B][/I] You have proficiency with the longsword and the longbow. When you wield a longsword, you can use your Dexterity for its attack and damage, instead of Strength. [I][B]Wood Elf Weapon Training:[/B][/I] You have proficiency with the spear and the long bow. When you wield a spear, you can use your Wisdom for its attack and damage, including a ranged attack, instead of Strength. [I][B]Drow Weapon Training:[/B][/I] You have proficiency with the rapier, the shortsword, and the hand crossbow. ... [I][B]Sun Elf Weapon Training.[/B][/I] You wield your culturally celebrated weapons by means of innate magic. You have proficiency with the longsword and spear. When wielding it, you can use your Charisma for its attack and damage instead of Strength. Using Charisma to enchant the weapon emphasizes innate magic of various kinds of Elf. Finessing of the longsword represents the High Elf culture of elegant swordfighting that emphasizes the advantages of Dexterity. The Wood Elf culture relies more on primal instinct. Drow weapons synergize fine as is with Dexterity. [/QUOTE]
