Otherwise, their abilities are mostly related to the natural world (and even the sleep/enchantment thing makes them more capable of interacting with woodland fey).Obviously, one can layer whatever culture one wants to atop the stats, but just stripping away all the fluff and looking at the crunch, nothing about elves suggests they'd be a magical race, other than that weird appendix of a favored class description.This is one of the few times I favor using subraces. If someone wants to play a magical elf, I would give them a totally different set of stats to start with than the default wood elf types.</blockquote>
