Elven Stats? besides the base elf?


Pathfinder First Edition General Discussion


Hello - cant find any stats on wild elves - or any elf other than Drow and the core elf of the core rules book

Any help

(Not even in elves of golorian)


I am under the impression that the fine folks at Paizo don't like the Baskin Robbins Elves (31 flavors...) or dwarves or halflings or gnomes or whatever. They figure that if each region of humans don't get different racial features, why do the others? So I highly doubt that you will find racial variants. Elves will remain +2 INT, +2 DEX, -2 CON. Drow, being an entirely different species, get their own stats.

In Golorian an elf is an elf is an elf. Traits can help define a "wild" elf from an elf from Mordant Spire.

Wasn't aware drow were an entirely other species, but other than that, I completely agree. Unless there is some vastly different things in the make-up of two variants of the same basic race, don't use different stats. Or at most toy a little with stuff like skill bonuses, weapon familiarities and starting languages (an elf from a branch that sails a lot might get a bonus to Swim instead of Perception, know how to use the trident, and have Aquan as a possible bonus language).


Thanks guts i appreciate it and it always bugged me that there was and elven spiecies for every climate.

If I could be bothered, I'd find the post where James said so. Duergar and svirfneblin are also distinct species from dwarves and gnomes (respectively)...if I remember correctly.

Good thing I still have my 2nd edition Book of Elves.

Pathfinder is supposed to be/remain compatible w. 3.5E. As such, you might check out the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting where wild elves are statted out. You might need to make tweaks to render consistent w. Pathfinder, but if your DM is cool with it, you at least have an option.

In Golarian the differences between elves are cultural... all elves use the same stats For differences with Drow consult the Bestiary.


*cough* Makes comment about 'Sea Elves' *cough

Slight change in certain abilities there beyond the 'norm' one would think...
