Note, the 3e gray elf lacks Dexterity, and instead gains an Intelligence bonus for a Constitution penalty. A fullcaster who lacks Dexterity. Relatedly, in Forgotten Realms, the sun elf is known for Intelligence with Charisma-related artistic skills. Mechanically, the flavor of the sun elf matches Charisma-Intelligence. Note the 4e eladrin can be mechanically Charisma-Intelligence, without Charisma and without Dexterity, following the tradition of the charismatic sun elf fullcaster. Similarly, the moon elf has Dexterity, but with flavor that is highly social, and mechanically the flavor matches Charisma-Dexterity. Meanwhile, the Drow has evolved from non-Charisma elf, into a high Charisma elf. And so on. The introduction of Warlock and Sorcerer classes, and especially a fullcaster Bard, offer new ways to utilize Charisma for powerful magic. Elven magical Charisma tropes benefit from the mechanics that these new fullcaster Charisma classes offer.</p></blockquote><p></p>
