As a result we have a nature loving bunch who enjoy unnatural magic. A long-lived race that live in tiny communitied numbering around 200, which to me suggests small families but could suggest a limited number of families( as per PHB fluff) yet they are suceptible to disease. i understand the magic argument but I do not buy it all the way, magic costs money and the typical non-adventurer elf I would assume to have the same income as a commoner which the phb seems to suggest is mere silver pieces per week. So how do they survive- free healing? It is possible it just seems very unlikely to me. It stands to reaso na long-lived race would have disease resistance but they do not--- thats the point all the things they need to function they do not have.Also with eating- hunting gathering is fine for the summer but what about the wnter months do they store food places like bears and squirrels? I just have a hard time imagining it. So if they do not farm and presumably do not store food places how do they eat in anyway that does not involve large amounts of free spellcastingThey are some what xenophobic in some sources yet they rely on trade. There needs to be either an executive decision on what an elf is instead of trying to streamline a lot of different ideas. A wood elf and a grey elf should look significantly different in terms of what they can do and how they live not very similar with different stats.</blockquote>
