This is perfectly fine by me ... for a Tiefling ...

Peronaly i have problem with Drows ...
Drow somehow get this attention drawing presence ... while none of other elves ever had it ...

And to make it even more confusing ...
Once you crossbreed any Elf (Drow included) with Human, somehow their offspring become even one point more charismatic ... no matter wich breed of Elves was the parent. laugh


Dont get me wrong here, i dont mind it, and certainly not fighting against it ... it just seems a little odd, once you start to think about it. :-/


//Edit:
It just feels like really weird alchemy ...
You take this exceptionaly flexible High Elf ... with inherent traits for slightly higher intelligence ... and mix it with this human who is slightly more smart, strong, flexible, wise, and charismatic ...

And you get something that is incredibly charismatic ... and slightly abowe standards in two other fields ...

I mean along with Strength and Wisdom (or intelligence if the parent is actualy Wood Elf) is Charisma the least shared feature for both parents, so how is that possible it come out strongest? laugh

And if the Elf parent was a Drow, who is inherently more charismatic ...
The offspring is inherently exactly as charismatic as everyone else. laugh
While being even more charismatic than his parent ... aka the original (lets say undiluted mixure laugh )

Weird stuff this genetic. laugh
