Message: <blockquote data-quote="The-Magic-Sword" data-source="post: 7724058" data-attributes="member: 6801252">I would actually be very much in favor of Eladrin being Charisma only, which is weird since I liked them as intelligence just fine in 4e. I think it would have two major benefits 1. It would help to reduce the amount of overlap between the High Elf and the Eladrin, which is important if we're going to have both. Earlier in the thread someone was insisting that the seasonal cantrips is a direct upgrade to the high elf cantrip, I disagree due to the fact that I feel there are plenty of cantrips one would want outside of that set, however it does remain that it is extremely similar, so the stat change would help to give them unique, complementary niches.  2. It would offer the Dark Elf some competition for charisma-elf race, notably the dark elf is one of those races that it seems like some DMs might forbid you from playing for alignment reasons, or a player might prefer not to use it as a result of sunlight sensitivity. Having a charisma-elf without those hangups would be healthy for the game, I also think the Drow (when not in sunlight) is strong enough to be indisputably equal to the eladrin, whereas I feel as if the high elf might be more negatively impacted. it also has a minor benefit of not breaking with the fact that the player's handbook races don't have a flex stat, which isn't hugely important (and i'm sure some people would prefer they all did) but might be a concern.</blockquote>
