[QUOTE="Crimson Longinus, post: 8693002, member: 7025508"] So what? 95% of characters aren't of any one race! Fiveish percent is decent for non-human, non-elf species. Dwarves are around that too. Those are not similar niches! Kobolds are not acceptable halfling replacements, and warforged most definitely are not acceptable gnome replacements! But if say 4% played each it would actually be 8% that want to play elfy things. How the species are divided is pretty much arbitrary, so you can't just stare the popularity of each variant in isolation. In newer books they seem to be doing away with subraces, so we have things like Astral Elves (or something) so in future where elves are further subdivided your logic would indeed lead to eliminating them all! In a game with over forty species it is not. It is crazy to me have a bizarre vendetta against imaginary little people and twist statistics concoct arbitrary mathematical requirements to justify getting rid of them. [/QUOTE]
