Just wondering but is there an actual reason elves aren’t fat? I’m not even talking obese either because if you factor in a bit of realism then most humans won’t be fat. However, why can’t elves get a little chubby? Why do they always look like they’ve been fasting? I’m sure there have to be elven shop keeps or bartenders who have a pounch or a beer gut. Conversely you don’t see many elves with huge muscles. Idk if there are gladiators but they want to look strong for the fans I’d think. And if we meet in the middle why are there no dad bod types? A dockworker with a muscle gut and a bit of brawn on the arms and legs who has a loving shoanti wife who decided to stay in his hometown and an optimistic half elven child waits for him at home. You meet him using the a home in every port feat and stay with them for a night. Why can’t that be a thing? Also, if you want an obese character then why not a elvish shadow leader of a gang that uses bribes to get political influence and uses its strength to assert and maintain power. He claims to be a devout follower of calistria but that manifests in a largely hedonistic lifestyle. Think hedonismbot but lawful evil. You could take him down using a information network through a network of local calistrians but he has his own so it’s an information war taking the party to locations to get more evidence to show the government and temple of calistria.
I’ve been told it can’t and I’ve tried to find things on it to justify the “can not” but it seems inconclusive aside from a blurb on the wiki saying citation needed. Obviously these are mostly npc ideas but the dockworker idea I like as he can be a very wholesome player character I feel. I’m really looking for an answer.
