They can hide well and have a bonus to missile attacks. I've always seen them played as slingers, archers and scouts with that 90% hide in natural settings ability.<br /><br />Elves are basically fighter/magic users so they really excel as support troops. A first level elf with a bow and a sleep spell is a nice party member to have around. They are fine in melee, but I mostly have seen them played as missile/spell slingers. <br /><br />Fighters and Dwarves tend to be the brawlers, with Clerics doing their thing and, of course, the Thieves steal from everyone when they are not looking. christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650456794111980661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103348394993405916.post-53011808428953590932013-09-05T20:28:59.626-07:002013-09-05T20:28:59.626-07:00So what determines whether or not the Halfling or ...So what determines whether or not the Halfling or Elf is a "fighter" or "thief" type person?Mystic Scholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07593826779432906953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-103348394993405916.post-56023377185740816862013-09-05T17:33:08.948-07:002013-09-05T17:33:08.948-07:00Yeah, in Labyrinth Lord/Moldvay Basic the playable...Yeah, in Labyrinth Lord/Moldvay Basic the playable options were (human) Cleric, (human) Fighter, (human)Thief, (human) Magic-User, Halfling, Elf, and Dwarf.

So funny!<br /><br />I hope that at some point my players are willing to give D&D another shot. I wrote up these fellows as a possible NPC party that could be encountered.
