Elves (old school)

...

They were very powerful kender.

Elves in AD&D (or possibly just basic D&D, been a while) were always just agile, thin people that were flighty and mercurial, considering that they could just switch class between Fighting Man and Magic-User every adventure. We had one guy who would switch every adventure because he thought the rules said that he HAD to.

>But like what elves used to be, eldritch, dark, alien.
Wrong.

When you say 'old', how old are we taking here? 1st edition D&D? There on the ground floor old?

I was born in 66, and I remember my friend that was one year older introduced me to it when I was in 7th grade. I don't remember what edition it was though, just that it had just come out and his dad got it for him.

Elfs should be better at everything, also they shouldnt be playable unless in a monster as pc campaign.

Were you or your friends chewed out for playing D&D? There was a big mess early on that the game 'promoted devil worship' and the like, the creators had to retcon and remodel the whole thing for a while

Not really. I lived in Florida, and it wasn't a particularly religious area. One of my friends had to stop playing, but it was because the DM smoked pot instead of anything Satanic.
