Paizo has a chance to be the first!


Gamer Life General Discussion


In another thread I've just discovered that in 30 years of adventuring in any system never ever once met a fat elf.

If paizo were to make one of the new iconics an overweight elf...

Which of the new classes should it be?

Warpriest is already revealed as a male half-orc so he's out.

Silver Crusade

I remember an overweight elf in at least one Planescape supplement.

There was something else weird going on with the guy too though, but for the life of me I can't recall what.

I favorited all of them because I want them all to be fat elves.

Polymorph. The warpriest can be a fat elf who likes to polymorph into a fat half-orc.

Hmmm. The swashbuckler should be a fat elf. Because damn, that would be fantastic.


Bloodrager because that would probably be the most unusual elf they could come up with.


This is an amazing idea!


Elvis impersonating elf swashbuckler, all sideburns, PBJB&P sammich in the off-hand ... uh huh huh ... ;)


Maybe it doesn't matter. Maybe you just need to have an elf that worships the god of Beer.

I suggest you read Monster Hunter International. The elves are

I once created an overweight elf for a home game. However, given how absurdly skinny elves are in Pathfinder, she was actually still on the slender side by human standards.


Make it the Brawler. He could be like Sammo Hung.


Warhammer RPG: Friends rolled a party and ended with three fat elves. They decided to be siblings.

I'm not sure how anyone pursuing a very active lifestyle, that isn't subjected to the highly processed toxic diet that passes for American cuisine would be that overweight.

Being overweight is pretty much a modern disorder of First World countries.

Hormone problems.

There was a fat elf in the first D&D movie, though that probably doesn't count.


In one of the 2e Monstrous Manuals, one of the binder dividers had artwork that included, on one side, a fat drow.

Not true, look at late medieval/early Renaissance paintings of European nobles.

A wizard, who isn't particularly active even in combat, that spends as much time drinking ale and eating mutton as his (pretty high) income can support could easily be overweight, or at least chubby.

Not to mention, once gained, for some people it is *very* difficult to lose weight depending on their genes. Some people just retain more than others. I have friends that are no more or less active than I am (and some that are more active) that have more body fat than I do.

I'd say it counts, it's just really depressing that the one body-type-mold-breaking elf we can think of in media is in something so bad.
