Why do elves suck?

In this case, I suspect it's because he's trying to be funny. If you don't find it to be so, there's plenty of other polls to answer.

The poll wasn't there when I posted.

IMC, they are fruity, tree-hugging, artsy, flighty, god-killing evil atheist bastards.

You know, DJ, you would have made my life much easier if you had included an All of the Above option...

It's a multiple choice poll. Just select them all!

I know that...but you could have saved me many clicks, thus making my life easier, had you included an All of the Above. What, are you lazy or something??

because they aren't dwarves.

Great poll.

Man, did you ever hit the highlights.

In my own current campaign the "good" elves are kind of like the elves in Terry Pratchett's novel "Lords and Ladies." The dark elves are much worse...

Thanks. How am I supposed to sleep now? *Scared*

I don't like them much because they're kinda boring and suboptimal, rules-wise. A bunch of minor advantages that don't synergize well, and an ability score bonus that doesn't directly support the favored class. Are those worth giving up an extra feat and extra skill points? No way!

It's just the rules that bug me, though. Flavor-wise I think they're just fine in the right campaign.

They're too darn short. I refuse to think of elves as the most ancient and powerful race when their biggest representitive only comes up to my chin.
