Just because you don't like FINAL FANTASY doesn't mean others don't.I have to assume you read books or watch movies. When a person sees a movie or read a book, they may want to play a character like the one in the book. Even if they are playing exactly like the one in the movie they are "role playing" because they are not playing themselves. Role playing is taking on the role of someone other than yourself.Now you may like to play all different types of roles, but some people may just be happy playing a single type of role. Or some may like playing weird roles of strange powerful creatures. The great thing about 3.x is it now gives us the ability (mechanics) to do just that.Playing a sterotypical wood loving, magic using elf may be a challenging role playing experience for some people. Especially newer people who haven't been playing as long. Or maybe someone who is shy or isn't as self confident as some. That shouldn't be looked on as a bad thing. They are giving it a try. And it may take years for them to move onto the next step. I know I've been playing since '84 and I played only elves my first 6 years of gaming. I still don't play a humans, you may ask why, because I am a human. I live the life of a human. I find them boring. I want to live the life of something else, gaming allows me to do that. All the roles you can apply to your humans, you can apply to a elf. As for stats? I have approached my GMs and asked that if I could take a race and apply human stats and gain human feats, skills and such, because personally (as pointed out by another post) they are much better than any +LA. Bonus feats, skill points, any favored class. These easily outway stat adjustments in 90% of cases. Sometimes they allow it, sometimes they don't.So why don't you take the next step, and take all your roles you talk so much about and try them on a tiefling or a half dragon? Expand your "role playing"...</blockquote>
