[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 3564736, member: 13966"] As I recall, Tolkien's elves had more stamina and health than humans, and could survive (or at least mentally ignore) greater wounds than humans could. They were supernaturally healthy and fit, even if they were thin. I could be misremembering, but this is what I seem to recall from reading the Silmarillion. So yeah, remove the Constitution penalty. Maybe reduce the Spell Resistance to 8 + character level, too, but I dunno if that's necessary. 'Course, I'm more objective about stuff like this; a fragile race with Spell Resistance isn't necessarily uber-tough just because they have a decent chance of resisting spells. One thrown club from an ogre (or frost giant, titan, or balor, whatever beefy brute they may face at their level) may yet do them in. Especially at the lower levels, where the SR is more significant (you can get decent SR at upper levels from spells, items, or class features, like the Monk's Diamond Soul, or a Mantle of Spell Resistance, or the SR spell itself).
