Description

The example above is for a typical Elf; trained warriors would likely have the maximum 7 HP. Obviously, Elves encountered in the course of a party’s adventuring will have a variety of powers and different attributes. The Referee will assign such powers as he sees fit, in accordance with the way he envisions Elves. They might be the woodland dwellers of Tolkien’s The Hobbit, or the high Elves of the Lord of the Rings, or might be the faerie-folk of Irish legend.In any case, as with Dwarves, don’t bother trying to fit your “advanced” elves into the constraints of character classes—just make up their attributes to fit what you need. NPCs aren’t subject to the rules that govern building a player character; they are your tools for good fantasy, not an exercise in formula application.
