There were plenty of discussion about how bad elves were in 3e at being wizards (according to some, they were the fourth or fifth-best race to be a wizard, after human, gnome, halfling, and possibly dwarf!) Getting one race to good at two things obviously proved troublesome... and there's precedence in Tolkien and previous D&D lore for the way it was handled.It's a shock. We've noticed that combats take a lot less time (and the monsters don't live as long) the more we play the game, though.Interesting. Do you mean within the same class, or do you feel that even between different classes everyone feels the same? Just as an aside: in oD&D and BECM D&D, the first level cleric and fighter were almost identical in abilities. The cleric couldn't even cast spells! They got more differentiated as they gained levels. I feel this is also true in 4e, although we've noticed definite differences between how characters play as we've gained experience with the system.Cheers!</blockquote>
