[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 7146067, member: 58172"] Your setup works well for the Greyhawk campaign setting. • Faerie Elf (gold hair, amethyst eyes): Charisma, Intelligence • Grey Elf (white hair, gold eyes): Dexterity, Intelligence • High Elf (emerald eyes): Charisma, Dexterity • Wood Elf (tree-color hair and eyes): Dexterity, Wisdom • Grugach Elf: Strength, Dexterity • Drow Elf (white hair), corrupted Grey, High, and Wood Elves: Dexterity, plus Intelligence, Charisma, or Wisdom For a Greyhawk setting, it might be possible to make all elves Dexterity score +2, plus one other ability score +1. But Charisma works better for Elf thematics, so I want to see at least some of them have access to Charisma +2. So, the High Elf and the Faerie Elf are both Charisma +2, but differ in regard to the +1 going to Dexterity or Intelligence. In the 1e Unearthed Arcana, the abortive attempt at a Comeliness ability, was split away from Charisma. Nevertheless, its racial adjustments correlate to the ‘visually appealing artistic style’ of the various kinds of Elf, so in 5e they translate back into Charisma.
