Conversions:

Modern:

If there are elves running around loose . . . Add some tech skills and Literacy.

Near Future:

"Elves" may be a gengineered race! To get the right attitude, though, maybe they took over the company that created them . . . Their "magic" might be psionics.

Space:

"Elves" might be an alien race - either leave as-is (for a primative one), or add tech skills and Literacy. The magical abilities may be replaced with similar psionic ones.


[These were done up for a con - it's a diplomatic (?) party of elves, sent to Megalos to protest the breaking of some treaties; in the convention-game, they arrived just as somebody started trying to kill all the elves in Megalos . . . One of the great things about elves is that all the names can be for either gender. <grin>]

Elowyn is an Elvish diplomat who often negotiates with humans. He usually has a retinue of guards and mages - both for protection, and because humans are more impressed by a large retinue.
