[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 3546029, member: 2020"] The elf cannot share his immunities and powers with his friends. They must find their own means of survival. So the elf can only sit and watch as wounds, disease, and even old age claims those he cares about. The powers described above are all but useless in a dungeon (except Elfsight.) Immunity to forest creatures does not mean immunity to dungeon creatures. The green slime in the forest did not attack the elf, but the black pudding in the dungeon will. The carrion crawlers left him alone, but the piercers will attack. The powers described are all but useless in a city (but a good way to get arrested for vandalizing trees ...) Immunity to disease is the one notable exception to this. But immunity to natural poison is useless against an assassin's poison. Immunity to disease won't stop the Lankhmar rats from doing one in. The powers described are all but useless on a road. They don't pay tolls, or aid in dealing with the king's men, or armor the elf against brigands (or superstitious peasants.) They don't ward off most monsters, since most monsters are not directly associated with the forest and green things. [/QUOTE]
