[QUOTE="GSHamster, post: 6107126, member: 20187"] Does this issue actually exist for races other than Elves? Humans don't really get "humanier" as they age. Dwarves don't really seem to do this either, nor Hobbits. Bilbo at 111 doesn't really seem to be "more hobbity" than he was as a young hobbit. In other literature, I don't really see this happening except where the change is an actual mutation (Niven's Protectors, for example). If the problem is Elf-only, perhaps it would be best solved with a Elf-specific racial. At level 10, Elf gains specific feat A. At level 20, Elf gains specific feat B, and so on. It could be a special quirk of Elves that as they age and become more powerful, specific Elven traits become more and more pronounced. Edit: After thinking about it, the only other races in fiction I can think of that really tie powers to age are Vampires and Dragons. [/QUOTE]
