Elf (species)

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 It is retained for historical reference only.

Elves are physically slight but long-lived people, quicker-witted than humans but sometimes slower to learn new things. Elves are especially good at using those skills 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.

Due to their fey natures, all elves are good at using enchantments and air elemental magic and most are poor at invoking the powers of earth and death.

Those of the most common strain are referred to simply as elves or, when they're not listening, common elves. Common elves have good intelligence and dexterity, but suffer a bit in strength. They have slightly fewer HP and slightly more magic than humans, and advance in experience a bit more slowly.

The Elf species was removed in Stone Soup version 0.3 due to lack of differentiation from the other elven races.
