[QUOTE="BigFreekinGoblinoid, post: 1041887, member: 5988"] These types of discussions are always amoosing. The hardest part for me to understand about the "elf phenomenon" was why they would have less skill points at level 1 than a human, but have a MUCH higher starting age. What the hell do elves do for 20 hours a day without gaining any knowledge or skills? Play video games? Surf the net for pron? You can assign more ability bonuses or skill points ( etc. etc. ) to Elves, and assign them an ECL if this pleases your sense of "plausibility", but where do you stop? Dwarves and other races will no doubt need adjustments too. Much in our favorite hobby requires a suspension of plausibility in the name of "balance". You can choose to not get hung up on it, or just make your own rules. Balance is overrated anyway. :D -Just don't be surprised when every player shows up with a character sheet with "elf" filled in for race... [/QUOTE]
