[QUOTE="Zaruthustran, post: 305875, member: 1457"] Why do you assume that just because grey elf warriors would never go toe to toe, there would never be grey elf warriors? Seems to me that there'd be plenty of warriors--they'd just be warriors with (as you say) bows. And if you look at any common fantasy literature, that's exactly what elves are: hit and fade artists, shooting from the trees. High Int + High Dex = useful skills like Hide and Wilderness Lore. Of course a Grey Elf Warrior would have a slightly different skill list than the standard Warrior. I mean, you wouldn't expect a Human Warrior to be anything like a Halfling Warrior, would you? Of course each race's Warriors would take advantage of that particular race's advantages. Also: Wizard is a PC class. It is not meant to be a class for the masses. Rules-wise, nothing's stopping you, but I got the impression that PC classes are extremely special/rare, and that NPC classes were to be used for groups of ordinary people. You can do whatever you want in your own campaign, obviously. Just saying that in my interpretaion of the rules, the Wizard class is restricted to PCs and important NPCs--there aren't supposed to be platoons of spellcasters. If you want that, use Adepts.
