Sometimes when someone is thin, single and neat people assume they are gay because that iis a stereotype."Remember that elves live in the forest, often in tree homes. They don't tend to have closets!Nope. We have determined that they fit some stereotypes about it. The often heard part about elves being gay does fit another stereotype: roleplayers are bachelors living with their parents and not too keen on hygiene. It fits because from such a guy's point of view, everyone who can feed himself and keep himself clean and neat without the help of his mother simply has to be gay. Real men can't cook or wash.Yet another stereotype. Which is what I consider a strong point in the 3e Realms: here, while both races had those problems, they were overcome: The Thunder Blessing gave the dwarves (minus the duergar) a boost in their birth rate, and for the elves, the Retreat is over, and even reversed, with old realms reconquered and all that.</blockquote>
