[QUOTE="Ahrimon, post: 6488781, member: 12630"] Mostly from comments like this: But there's also a dash of overboard to help drive the point home. I think this is where I see things differently. I look at from the reality of a fantasy reality and not from a game perspective. I don't see that elves have +2 dexterity I see that elves are on average more dextrous than other races. For a character that is reflected by a +2 to dexterity, but it has nothing to do with the narrative to me. Elves learn the longsword because it's culturally considered a nobles weapon, it's a weapon of war not dueling, it's more effective overall in the grand scheme of things, and it's what their god wields. Once you look at things from a narrative world building view and not translating the game into the world so much more makes sense. The game is there to model interaction with the world not to model the world itself. That's my POV anyway. [/QUOTE]
