Race: Elf

This is one of my favorite Elmore sketches. I know the 2e Complete Book of Elves is considered OP in terms of its mechanics, but I have a fondness for all the character sketches.

I used this one for my magic item (elven chain) pic! LOL.


Here's my selection:

Artist: Larry Elmore

Race: Dwarf

As much as I love the geometry of the modern dwarf look, I also love me some classic Celtic/Viking-style dwarves.

This is one of my favorite Elmore sketches. I know the 2e Complete Book of Elves is considered OP in terms of its mechanics, but I have a fondness for all the character sketches.

Heh, as an optimizer and fan of the old school elven fighter/mage, I had fun with the 2e bladesinger kit.

Artist: Clyde Caldwell
Title: The Worm Has Turned
Race: Human
(Class: Fighter/Warrior)

Look at this picture and tell me again why playing a human (or a fighter) is "boring". Or better yet, tell her that. I think she may have some strong opinions on that subject.
