No way! Vogel is an immortal *dwarf*! ;)
And now, from the home office in beautiful Pittsburgh, PA, we present:
TOP 10 REASONS DWARVES ARE BETTER THAN ELVES
10.The dwarves didn't cobble together a culture and language out of bits
of Celtic Myth and Tolkien, and then try to pass it off as 'traditionally
Dwarvish'
9. You never see a dwarf walking around with that Elven curled-lip
sneer...you know, the one that makes 'em look constipated?
8. You never see a dwarf walking around with the goofy elven "I love
mousse' hairdo, either.
7. Dwarven mages rule. Who needs a bonus to Charisma when you have a
bonus to -Willpower-?
6. Dwarves can outcuss, outdrink and outfight those candy-ass treehuggers
any day.
5. The immortal dwarves aren't dumb enough to let their presence be known
on the biggest underground BBS in existence.
4. Dwarves don't get people in goofy costumes walking up to them and
saying 'Live long and prosper."
3. Harlequin's an elf. 'nuff said.
2. Read your Tolkien. Dwarves get cooler songs. ("Far o'er the misty
mountains cold" vs. "Tra-la-la-lally". If anyone brings up that
"Hi-ho"
song, I'll perforate them.)
1. Dwarves are the only subrace with the ability to grow _real_ facial
hair. (With the exception of the guys from ZZ Top.)
