[QUOTE="Goblyns Hoard, post: 2175581, member: 19970"] [b]Hernan Elves[/b] In my home brew I've taken the elves back into being tru woodland creatures not the high elves that just don't make sense to me in the PHB. Woodland based and tribal, the elves have never developed arcvane magic and don't really trust it. They aren't xenophobic as a race, though they're are factions that are. They live in small and fairly loose gatherings and individual elves will wander from group to group throughout their lives, meeting new people and new ideas. There are no big cities, not even towns, and the largest of groups will number only about 100 elves. There is no real government and very few laws, decisions are made by pure democracy in which every elf that is present takes part. The concept of marriage is one that elves don't understand. They are not a war-like race but are very capable hunters and have tried (and almost succeded) to eradicate the green dragons. They fight in guerrilla warfare style if they need to - most often when faced by island orc raiders attacking the coast. They have never learned to work metal very well - due to limited iron ore in their area and not wanting to cut down the trees for fuel. Instead they shape alar wood which becomes as hard as metal when it is cropped from the tree - thus they grow weapons and armour. A bit of crunch: Druid or ranger would be their favoured class if I used that rule, and they lose the longsword bonus proficiency. Stats are changed to -2 str instead of -2 con - they simply lack the muscle mass that other races have. Also they don't live significantly longer than humans - 120 is probably the average lifespan.
