[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 8803816, member: 29398"] Outright follow? Now necessarily. Trend toward? Of course; as that's the point. Seeing past the stereotypes is one thing. Somehow making average Hobbit strength the same as average Human strength, not so easy. And even if individuals get past the stereotypes, on a broad level they still exist. Elves (all types) tend to have the physical attractiveness side going for them. And yes, snooty and-or haughty is another stereotype for Elves; though I tend to play mine more happy go lucky which is why that example leaped quickly to mind. Appearance is part of it. Persuasiveness is another, whether used in a leadership role or not. In my view, spiritual strength is a third. A Cha 11 Elf is quite likely to be fairly attractive and rather boorish; while a Cha 11 Dwarf might be unattractive yet well-spoken. A Cha 11 Human could be the perfect spy - as bland and boring and forgettable-in-a-crowd as it gets. :) [/QUOTE]
