[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9846575, member: 7006"] Very good point. Which is really part of the problem when it comes to trying to make all these other non-human species make sense. We have had elves in D&D games for decades, with almost everyone playing these creatures exactly the same as we play humans, which is almost entirely incorrect. Almost no elf that has a thousand year lifespan would follow the boom-boom-boom, quest-quest-quest, never stopping, never resting "adventuring path", 'get to Level 20 over the next five years'... that we play with all the time as humans. These alien creatures have lived through so much stuff over their millennia of life that whenever humans have this idea of "We have to solve this problem RIGHT NOW! LET'S GO!!!" and move from one thing directly into another... the elves [I]should[/I] be looking at all these silly humans and just rolling their eyes and walking away. After all... humans have like what... at best 50(?) years of useful action (from when they reach adulthood to retirement-age) to get all their crap done... and that's merely a blink of the eye for an elf. And yet we all play elves with that same exact go-go-go mentality that we give to humans. [/QUOTE]
