Pick an elf, any elf and I can almost guarantee that he respects nature, has some affinity with magic (not able to cast, but knows, has seen, assumed to be good at), is good with swords and always come from forests. Now if this were the Pc I would loosen up some expectations, but most would stay. If you took a dwarf it would be from underground, they would all have a strong sense of tradition and law, all know how to battle giants (even though 1) giants would find it hard to live in tunnels and 2) not all dwarves live near/come to blows with giants), and take an interest in stones. And so one (Gnomes are born with gogles, halflings only exist on the streets of cities)In short there are their stereotypes, and when they break them they are special.I would assume that the Subraces are attempts to break these, some do, some don't. But what I think is wrong is that practically all of the races (bar humans) seem duplicates of each other no matter where they come from. Whereas humans change with were they are from.So maybe regional elves and dwarves rather then subraces. I don't want more mechanics to represent this, just flavour. In fact I don't 'want' anything, I'm jsut speaking my mind, and if you survived to the end of this post, I thank you.</blockquote>
