every motherfucking city-elf in the Known World gets the 'steal' skill

Thanks, I didn't know that.

I was under the assumption that players generally play sneaky roles with c-elves, not that they race gets the steal skill by default.  Keep in mind that you don't always need the skill to steal from someone.

it's a fair assumption! I mean, come on! they're neckers! you thought all that talk about them stealing from you was just talk?

The arguments in this thread got weeeeaaaak.

Fortune and glory.

Lol, I don't see how sailing into a place full of sand and big monsters is going to be fortunate or glorious :P Why would an elf want to do such a thing, unless it was to rob everyone on the boat and swim out of there.

Clans can give stat bonuses and penalties, too. The Byn drop in wisdom is particularly notorious.

Permanent structures? Oh...you mean like, uh...the Blackwing Outpost?

Yeah, and it contradicts every other elven tribe in the known world, doesn't it?

Welcome to the exception that proves the rule.  I believe you've met.
Any questions, comments, or condemnations to an eternity of fiery torment?

I'm pretty sure all original settlers had some sort of gain in mind.

*ding* Wrong.

Not all elven tribes are nomadic or semi-nomadic. I'd wager that if they could afford it, the Sun Runners would build an outpost of their own for trade.

A little OOC thinking there, most settlers in Zalanthas seem to be either looking for a safe place to squat (with water) or fleeing from some danger. If they're happy where they are (the lazy elves being happier than anyone to sit in the same spot), then they shouldn't really want to go to some dangerous place. If there's gold on the other side of the seas, I'm sure it's perfectly elven to get others to bring it back for them.

Well I always thought you were a bit of a stupid bastard.

Please lock the thread.  Degraded into nothing helpful and...the above.

Why would a human? Half-giant? Mul? Half-elf? Dwarf?

It's unclear to me why anyone would think this was acceptable behavior.  Don't.
