No.

Now, I'm going to outline WHY I hate knife-ears.

They rarely if ever, have meaningful flaws as a race. If they're viewed as ancient, wise ponces, I'm going to remove knife-ear with a smile on my face, and I don't give a fuck what anyone thinks.

What makes elves good besides being fetishy animu shit? Sell me on it, faggots.

I mostly like them because they're the opposite of dorfs, and I'm getting real tired of dorf fags.

That, and I'm tall, pretty, and as a Scandinavian who browses 4chan, I'm often left with the impression that the rest of the world either hates me or wants to fuck me. So I feel I can relate.

Only if the setting, GM, or players make them that way.

The ideal setup is cultural differentiation and subfactions within each race. After all, IRL humans are divided as fuck and part of that is the cultural heritage any given group draws from. Why should fantasy races be different?

But nope. Elves = 200,000% enlightened vegans. Drow = always matriarchal sadists with a spider fetish. Kobolds = Always sniveling little cowards with a hard-on for traps.

It's fucking annoying.

J.R.R. Tolkien had to find a way to make white people feel racially inferior to someone, so he made White People+1. Surprisingly, this actually worked, and turned unaccomplished white nerds into massive racists against a race that doesn't even exist.

That violent, impotent rage you feel is probably what Robert Mugabe feels every day of his presidency as his people starve to death because he killed all of the white farmers.

>Then don't use the same carbon-copy elves that everyone else uses.

yeah but try not to go TOO HARD on making them different

so many times, ill see in worldbuilding threads or something, where people's elves are just attractive orcs

i don't really see the point of skin-swapping races. i'd rather something interesting be done on a personal level to characters of that race rather than turn the race into "elves that act like orcs/dwarves/trolls/goblins/gnomes/whatever but theyre actually elves"

it's cheap

I like where you're coming from, but cultural differentiation and subfactions can very easily lead into a setting with hundreds of different clans of high elves, wood elves, grey elves, dark elves, half-elves, green elves, space elves... Which isn't bad on its own, but handled by a poor DM or writer, it leaves you with the sense that none of them add to the plot or have a purpose (beyond an attempt to jam as many elves with as many sooper-special features as possible into the setting).

Hey, it's not my fault the only redeeming factor of elves who aren't written by Bioware (fucking Bioware, how low is that?) is that they're animu waifu shit material these days.

Even in Lord of the Rings, they were too perfect for my tastes, and as much of a classic as LotR (the books, but I'll admit the movies were great in their own right) is, I just couldn't get past anything to do with the elves without grimacing.
>>
>>46412093
Well, mechanically they wouldn't be different at all. And it wouldn't be specific to the elves.

Minimizing the amount of homebrew you'd need to make would be an ideal approach. Just make backstory notes and lore snippets as-needed. If they're bit players, they're bit players.

Not that guy 'lol they slaves now' was one of the reasons I liked it, and I played a female city elf through Origins. I ranged between hilarity and pandering to my fetish of being abused and spoken down to.

Doing the lesbian thing with Leliana and then watch her repeatingly stumble over her own white guilt and mercilessly roasting her in it and watch her squirm was hilarious.

An elves greatest flaw is their pride. Many think themselves better than others, when in truth they are only gifted in small ways. Age never equates wisdom, wisdom is gained by experience. Most elves keep to themselves in their hidden realms wallowing in their pride becoming decadent and corrupt, while those who escape these places and experience a world beyond the mists find things larger then they, and find beauty in the fleeting moments with others.
>>
>>46412402
Actually, I like them because they have actual flaws. The Dalish are dealing with half-remembered lore and live a nomadic lifestyle as savages. They're genuinely mistaken as to the holiness of the Fade, and it's pretty heavily implied their deities are at least vaguely Lovecraftian with all the shit that implies.

I liked the presentation of elves in Dragon Age because they were as flawed as everyone else. Elf waifu a shit, bring in more demon-worshipers.

Ears are supposedly an erogenous zone for humans too. Yet I have never seen or experienced any sexual activity connected to them.

Gonna remake Pathfinder elves into an NPC fey race. Figure they could be the First World's gut reaction to humanity, a sort of overpowered fey equivalent that's still instinctive to a considerable degree but has magic instincts to make up for their deficiency in logic/thought.

I have a few things plotted out already, but I think their spell-like abilities might be over the top.

CL 5th:
at will - spark
5/day - aggressive thundercloud, anthropomorphic animal, garden of peril

The general concept is "fey equivalent that's alien as fuck and not to be fucked with", basically.

Basically, there's different creature types for creatures. And each block will rotate which types are most popular for each color. So White may see Humans, Rebels, Soldiers, Knights, Leonins (catwarriors), Loxodons (elephants), Halflings, Priests, etc.

Red will have Goblins, Orcs, Dwarves, Elementals, Dragons, Viashino (desert lizards), Barbarians, etc.

Green has elves. Every set has elves. Sometimes there are other things too, but there's always more elves.

Actually very good. Male Orcs wander across a large grassy plain most of the year, and while many of the permanent settlements are near a large coniferous forest, the wood is typically sap-filled and too flexible for anything fancy. Elves, on the other hand, live in the biggest deciduous forest in the known world, and are experts at manipulating wood both with magic and an axe. Trades of meat for wood are quite common, although the wood is usually delivered by sea.

Daily reminder that the most hardcore badass to ever exist was an elf. Fingolfin; Second King of Noldor, and son of Finwe.

Fingolfin left his people behind to fight the Dark Lord Morgoth ALONE. When all was lost and darkness fell upon the land, he rode out across the plains surronding Angband with such fury that his eyes glowed like stars, and all who witnessed it claimed he was like a hurricane itself rode across the land.

Fingolfin arrived at the gates of Angband and challenged the GOD OF ALL EVIL, by proclaiming: "MORGOTH, I NAME YOU CRAVEN! LORD OF SLAVES!". And Morgoth was fucking scared shitless of this one mortal. Yet he had to show up because otherwise all of his captains would know he was a pussy, so he put on his greatest armour, and took up his mighty hammer, and he came up to accept Fingolfin's challenge.

For Seven Hours, Fingolfin and Morgoth fought. As a mortal, Fingolfin darted out from underneath each of morgoth's strikes as thunder flies from underneath a cloud. Over seven hours, Fingolfin struck Morgoth seven times, inflicting deep and perilous wounds with his sword Ringil, such that would never heal. Yet on the seventh hour of their duel, fingolfin grew weary, and he tripped on a rock. That one momentary weakness was all it took for Morgoth to strike down the elf king.

And here, have a song about their glorious duel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3aB6CPyO0Ww

Apparently Mary Sues commit genocide of entire races and get banished from the land of their gods, then tie their own race to a magically binding oath to horribly murder anyone that so much as MAYBE has one of three magical pretty gemstones.

I think I am the only Dwarf Fortress player who actually likes Elves.
Sure, they are annoying, treehugging, cannibalistic cunts who will attack you so much as you chop one tree too many, but then again the Dwarves more often than not are sadistic, genocidal maniacs who would flood half a fucking continent in magma just to get rid of a couple of elephants.
And, for a bunch of savages carrying exclusively wooden weapons, they can be pretty badass.
Also, there is Cacame, the Elf King of Dwarves and the Dwarfiest Elf to ever exist, so there's that.

>>46413936

>>46414405
I recall that there was an elf in the Silmarilion who came to middle earth and discovered dwarves. So he decided that "Dwarf Fortresses are awesome, I need to make one of my own!". He then proceeded to bugger off from all of the rest of the royalty and just make his own damn dwarf fortress in the middle of nowhere, and even hired a bunch of dwarves to help him make it.

Still, Cacame and Finarfin are awesome. We need more Dwarf Cosplaying elves in this thread.

Its safer than either. Elves live a very long time, but don't reproduce often.

Archery is extremely effective, especially combined with their crafting and natural dexterity. Keeps the enemies at bay while murdering them with sharp sticks flying through the air.

Wizardry can backfire horribly, even if you're really good. Swordsmanship is dangerous as well, just in a much more mundane way.

Sounds reasonable. Extending the livelihood of their race by mastering a war art you don't need to be physically engaged in to get better at. I assume you can get way better with ranged weapons on a target vs melee weapons on a dummy. Plus, hunting in woodland settings.
>>
>>46416434
Pretty much.

Archery is incredibly powerful in the traditional Elven homelands too. Getting into melee with someone through the underbrush, up trees, or whatever might actually be impossible. But shooting at someone? Easy.

Let's not get started on the tactical possibilities of bows in woods.

>>46416245

Specifically, Aragorn was the king of the Duneduin, AKA "The Rangers of the North", and they were a dwindling group of elves who lived wildly off the land and had great archery, hunting and tracking skills.

Back in "Race as Class" days, Elves were thus effectively all rangers because rangers didn't yet exist, then when races and classes were seperated but before multiclassing was tentatively introduced in AD&D 2e "Ranger" was made one of the main character classes and the key "archer" class, and as elves got a racial penalty to CON and a bonus to DEX they further synergised both the ranger and elves.

Alright guys, what if my knife-ears are actually humans that bound their souls to a sort of mass-phylactery, swearing themselves to a hundred years of war in exchange for life unaging? They were given lean, muscular bodies that wasted slowly with the effects of stretching a human lifespan over the centuries. They're better at magic purely because they're older, same with crafts and arts. Someone who's been sculpting for two hundred years will be far more technically advanced than any human.
>>
>>46416964
>a dwindling group of elves
You are so fucking wrong it's not even funny. The Dunedain were men of Numenorean blood, and more specifically descendants of those Numenoreans who ruled and lived in the northern kingdoms.

>multiclassing was tentatively introduced in AD&D 2e
Wrong. AD&D 1e is the edition. Also, no rules in the phb denote Ranger as "the archer" archetype. Dexterity is not even a stat requirement, whereas Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Constitution are.
Even in UA, where there is a list of required weapon choices (that was probably homeruled out of a lot of games), there is no change to the stat requirements. Hell even in Method V for generation of your Ranger's stat line, Dex is only higher than 2 other stats: Charisma and Comeliness.

Additionally, with a starting HP value of possibly 24, at level 1 mind you, you're far more suited to soaking up damage and dealing it out in frontline melee with your necessarily more than above average strength.

You have all this versatility as a ranger so that you can fill more than one niche. Just going by useful stats, Fighters can be just as good ranged fingers as rangers. Additionally, Thieves and Assassin's do well as ranged fighters, given that Dexterity is a strong choice for any of their ilk. Finally, Illusionists aren't too bad either, given that they have a Dex requirement as well.

Tl;dr, Dunedain are men, not elves. Rangers, introduced in 1e AD&D were not the end-all-be-all of ranged warfare.

Speaking of Elves, do any other anons feel that modern fantasy kind of ruined Elves? I mean these days most Elves can be explained as "They are like humans, only better" or "the perfect race superior than others". That just ruins it. I like it when Elves, or any other fantasy race, are shown to have their own unique culture and society and certainly not game breakingly overpowered and perfect compared to the other races.

Like for example, I loved the Elves in Artemis Fowl series, if any of you guys ever read those books. There are fat elves, smelly elves, some curse a lot, and etc. They are unique here instead of being the all soo perfect race or better humans.

Well in the series Elves are one of Fae races. The other Fae races are centaurs, goblins, dwarfs, pixies, and etc. I like this series because it gives a different look to the Elves and Dwarfs compared to the usual Tolkien copypasta

Elves mythologically were similar to humans but they were from an otherworld and had closer relations with gods, giants, and spirits. Elves often were the lovers or spouses of the divine, or were semi-divine themselves.

The key i've found is not to make their inherent gifts make them better, but different.

At this point it doesn't matter. Sweden has effectively acquired a serious bacterial infection and has decided that in lieu of antibiotics it will wash it's hands more than it has in the past. There are enough immigrants there to destroy the existing populace as it is if the situation just maintains itself.

Seems a bit too good to be true, why would that highborn elf wana marry the guy just because he was the first human not to pull the trigger on her.

I like me some good ol' lowly human being hitched by beautiful and graceful highborn elf, but this just seems to good to be true.

I fear she's gonna eat Jake Abernathy once after she gives birth their baby, according to some legends involving elves.

What if humans are just a type of elf that fucked up and all the other elves see humans as "original species do not steal"

Eh, Tolkien made Elves pretty damn "like humans but better". I think it was part of his overall anti-modernist outlook - anything that had to do with progress and industry tended to be bad, anythng that went with tradition and simple life was good.

He didn't have game balance in mind and made them more divine. Of course they were better just like angels tend to be better.

Indeed, wish there were more stories that are happily accepting of human-elf relations that also advocate for half human-half elf kids and pretty much shows unity is the way to go.

Like this anon, he has the right idea; story where humans and elves are at war. But one of the elves who's a highborn who'll possibly inherit the throne wants to work with humans to stop the war, is in favor of peace with humans, falls in love with the human soldier who helped her.

And promotes the message of kickass democratic government run by elf and human alike.

How does /tg deal with elves living so long? Do your elves live many smaller lives? Do they have pity on short lived races, or do they tend to go insane from having seen so many years? I usually try to make my elves slower and less productive, so that an elf's life time of work can be more equal to a human's.

They suffer from ennui doing something for too long. Their life is too long to be keep doing the same things over and over. They try and do many things but hardly ever master any. Like artists they go through periods of expression and discovery that change as time goes on. Relationships are built, flourish, and break between them. Marriage really isn't a thing, since those sorts of bonds don't last among elves. Families are full of half-siblings all living in their communes. An elf who has bonded with a human will stick around for a great deal of the human's lifetime before moving on to other things. Elves are prone to wanderlust and have a seed of chaos in their bosom.
