It's akin to, though different from, the special status and powers afforded to those elves who had been to Aman/Valinor, seen the light of the Two Trees, and learned directly from the Valar and Maiar. And just like those "high" elves...the higher you start, the further you fall when corrupted.*It's a bit unfair, actually; if a half-elf chooses the fate of Men, all of their descendants after that point will also be Men. However, if a half-elf chooses the fate of the elves, all their future children will still be half-elves and still need to make a choice.Ironically I am exactly the opposite. Love the Draenei, hate the "classic" Tiefling.In the end, I voted half-elf. Tieflings are cool, and I love some of the story work done with them (especially in 4e)...but unless they were Draenei-clones (which would be more like hoofed aasimar than tieflings!), I don't think I'd ever play one.</blockquote>
