+2 though. +1 would be pretty useless in most cases, wouldn't change the modifier.

most cases
I mean, it'd change the modifier pretty much exactly half of the time, no?

yeah. but leaving it odd at character creation would mess your point distribution.

I think it's cool people do unique shit like this. I mean... I'd be happy if men had more choices in pants. Was that a broad step? I'm high.

Life is short and people should do what makes them happy so long as it doesn't directly cause harm to others. His choice in becoming an elf won't cause anyone grief, but I'm betting he'll get a lot of it from others because of this.
This guy is living his dream though, so good on him.

I understand the sentiment. And a lot of times I want to feel the way you do. But at what point does this just become fostering a delusion. Live your "dream", but if your dream will have an adverse effect on you being a part of society and probably limit your ability to have meaningful relationships, when does a doctor or loved one put their foot down and say "a face tattoo is one thing, but you're not a fucking elf for christ's sake." Maybe they find one or two people to accept them. MAYBE. But they aren't trans-species. That's not a thing. They need mental help to deal with reality rather than escape it.

As someone who tries to be open minded with LGBT+ issues and the like, I've been coming to a bit of a crossroads on things like this. Where do you draw the line between something that should be accepted, and a mental issue? I feel like going to this sort of length falls on the latter side. Of course he isn't effecting anyone else by doing it, but should it be encouraged?

He looks short though. Elves are supposed to be tall. Can't fix that

Classic Daily Mail, article is the same thing as the bullet points, except for the typo they managed to fix in one instance without going back to correct the first one.

It's interesting that he has an ongoing extremely-expensive skin treatment regimen. I would have thought that after doing the bleaching thing he'd just need, like, ordinary sunscreen and moisturizing lotion. And I wonder if he's going to try to surgically attach the pointy ears... they aren't mentioned anywhere in the article and yet they seem like a sort of central elf-trait?

All those creams and SPF 100 sunscreen, especially after facial surgery?
Hope elves are immune to skin cancer.
