Would I be terribly unpopular if I suggested that we are still closer to humans then we are to being a different race altogether?

How is he a party pooper? I would say that we are most like a different fantasy race. One called Russians. They cannot be understood by anyone, despite being incredibly intelligent. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

But Russians are crappy engineers and are even crappier tacicians. About the only military strategy they understand is the human wave assault. Also, Nomaken mentioned the French. Let's just leave it at I had second thoughts about going there. Well actually third, I cut out part of the original reply befor I posted it.

Oh yeah, nobody mentioned Elf medicine yet.

I chose dwarfs because they are stubborn and less emotionally aware than the humans and elves. Elves are highly intuitive with excellent social skills. I guess the dwarfs don't develop theirs as much because they go digging for gems in their mines all day.
