Elf (species): Difference between revisions

Obsolete: This article refers to an aspect of the game which has been removed. It is retained for historical reference only.

Elves (also called plain or common elves, when they weren't looking) were a race in early versions of Crawl. Their aptitudes were generally similar to those of High Elves, but less pronounced. This made them more versatile than HE, in fact easily the most versatile of all of the five original elven races. However, they paid for this by having fewer strong aptitudes: they only really excelled at Bows, Air Magic, and Enchantments (and were fairly good with bladed weapons and Spellcasting). They also leveled faster than the other elven races, though still noticeably slower than humans.

Level Bonuses

+1 MP every 3 levels.
-1 HP 2 out of every 3 levels.

-slower to learn new things. Elves are especially good at using those [[skill]]s which require a degree of finesse, such as [[stealth]], sword-fighting, and archery, but tend to be poor at using brute force and inelegant forms of combat. They find heavy [[armour]] to be uncomfortable, and make the finest, lightest armours to be found anywhere. Elves are particularly good at using elven weapons.
