[QUOTE="Tsyr, post: 1034294, member: 354"] Here is how I look at it: A poodle, a chihuahua, a german shepard, a pit bull, a bull dog, a beagle, and a wolf are all canines. Yet they are vastly different animals. Likewise, a housecat, a cheetah, a lion, and a sabertooth tiger all all felines (Ok, one is a dead feline...), but are vastly different animals. If one were going to be realistic, they wouldn't all have the same stats (Heck, they don't... House Cat and Lion don't have the same stats, though all domesticated dogs, for some reason, do, in a lot of games). For me, it's the same way with elves. They are all the same basic species, but with different variations. As for your changes to Dragons... *shrug* Your choice, I suppose, and for the right game I would even agree with such choice. Heaven knows I've made some pretty wild changes to Dragons in some of my settings before. For a "generic" DnD setting, though... That's something else. My "Time of False Gods" setting was anything but standard DnD. [/QUOTE]
