[QUOTE="Nai_Calus, post: 5073408, member: 79670"] They make no sense to me. The reason that thousand-year-old elf isn't level eleventy in six different classes? He hasn't bothered. Never felt the need. Life is long and life is good. So he stayed in his forest and practiced with the sword and the bow for when his village was attacked but never decided that he had to master all aspects of it and go out and slay things, he spent a century or two learning to paint and mastering it, dabbled for half a century in pottery, took up singing for a good 75 years, spent a decade watching a tree grow, did a thousand other things that took a little bit of time, read a lot, learned a few spells out of curiosity, and just generally lived his life and floated between things. That elf PC who's devoted his life to one thing and goes out into danger constantly? That guy is [I]crazy[/I]. Mr. Thousand-year-old Elf has no idea what the heck to think of that guy and his crazy hectic human-paced life, but knows that that sort of thing was never for him. That's why you don't have a billion high-level elven/dwarf/whatever NPCs. :P And frankly I've never gotten what's supposed to be so great about human-centric settings anyway. So what if the Elven empire rules the world, or the Dwarves have taken over, or the other races are constantly complaining about the doors and ceilings built by the halfling majority? Why is that even a bad thing? [/QUOTE]
