Why can't Wood Elves be Paladins (Verant's reasoning?)

[Danth]

Wood elves aren't stuffy enough to be Paladins. I believe some of the NPC's in Ocean of Tears hint at the Wood Elves' loose notion of morality.

Half elves are presumably limited in their options by discrimination as much as by their own temperaments.

Dark Elves ought to get bards. They obviously have taverns and dancing and seem to party hard. That's the specific omission I find most curious. On the other end of it, barbarian rogues make no sense beyond VI apparently wanting every race to have a minimum of three classes available. Some musclebound 7 foot tall dude isn't going to be stealthy.

Why not? Haven't you seen Conan the Barbarian? He's was as much a rogue as he was a warrior. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For real though, I don't see a viking who fights dirty as a contradiction. In fact, I think it makes a lot of sense. And I think that's more important roleplay-wise than the practicality of them sneaking.

LOL Barbarians aren't Scottish.... learn your history buddy :P I mean the Romans did call the scottish barbarians but that was more of a noble put down than anything :P

Which actually is quite insulting now that Barbs wear kilts... So i can see how you would make that connection!

My Scottish heritage is quite upset right now!
