Still, it is probably a fairly accurate rite of passage for Indians and Irishmen, but I don't see how Elves fit here particularly. I guess such details depend on your world.Since its tough for my group to meet regularly, I just pulled a group together -- which included an elven ranger -- by writing a couple of pages of background story that justified each player's place in the party. This worked well and was logistically easier for us. The elven ranger's purpose in the adventure was to slay a mean half-Drow Cleric of Elemental Evil. The ranger was part of a secret society of wood elves that hated drow. (his favored enemy was, of course, drow elf)</blockquote>
