Why do elves suck?

[frankthedm]

I think Felon needs some Pamprin.

:\ You know the thread would have had a longer lifespan without that one...

True, they do have a weak package

*Now*, who is bashing elves?

That is part of the problem, not part of the solution.

and what "problem" would that be? keep in mind i liked ElfQuest back in the day, so magical divergence isn't a problem in my opinion.

Elves suck for two reasons:

* Mialee artwork
* Inferior wizards in 3e (except for the Races of the Wild generalist wizard subst. level)

Cheers!

I so agree with you on this. Mialee art makes me want to puke. ug. Its not so much the art itself, its the core dzn really.

Pretty mild response, actually.

*Now*, who is bashing elves?

Not that kind of package...

Well, why do elves suck?

Forrester did this better than you.

I don't put too much blame on Bloom's portrayal of Legolas. I’ll blame those who don’t grasp Hollywood characters always auto succeed when the director want them to. Some systems and variants embrace that over the top crap, Core D&D does not. In Core D&D the Oliphant soaks up arrow after arrow due to HD and CON, takes his AoO, hits due to STR and BAB, nails the elf, grabs and does constrict damage and probably kills the elf archer in a round or two because the rest of the party is still on the wall.

Lol. I used to like elves, and generally played them or half-elves. Nowadays, I like the 0 LA Aasimar in FR. Now those are nice if ya like the play the goody-two shoe characters like I do.
