[QUOTE="Kichwas, post: 1356684, member: 891"] To a newbie player who hasn't played since 1982 but is bringing in a wild elf I simply said "think of the wolfriders in Elfquest, she looks and acts something like that." - which is about right given the height and demeanor of a wild elf. If she was to have made a grey elf I would have referenced Blue Mountain, for a high I would have returned the Sun Folk. That hit the player's familiarity with elves, which was largely Elfquest and the Lord of the Rings movies. However when I thought about it the Elfquest model really does work well for the DnD elf. Bird brains... Many parrots can live 200 hundred or more years, but Polly isn't exactly a fountain of wisdom, nor has she solved any major math dilema's of late. ...On the other hand, ever notice how birds just sit there and stare at you... maybe... :p To the actual topic, culturally DnD elves seem to be a better fit for sorcerer than wizard -what with the chaotic nature- but sacred cows being what they are, it's wizard.
