Might do an arcane trickster with it, but not much else. Now, the MM elves are more viable. The gray elf gets a bonus to Int instead of Dex, giving them an actual edge in their favored class of wizard.The wood elf's ability score bonuses are wonky, but they do make for a good archery-based ranger.Dwarves, OTOH, don't seem to need another subrace. I mean, who chooses to lose Dex instead of Cha? Gnomes? Those guys are just a mess. Too many stupid little racial traits to keep up with. Desperately need streamlining. I allow not only subraces, I allow monstrous races. I've had a rakshasa, a minotaur, a thri-kreen, a frost giant, a desmodu, couple of catmen....some worked out better than others.</blockquote>
