Short Blade - 10 Points

Specials

Ancestor Guardian (Activated) -- Sanctuary 50 pts for 60 secs on Self
Resist Fire (Constant) -- Resist Fire 75%

Comments: At first glance, the Dark Elf appears to be a good mage, but I would sat otherwise. Compared to the Bretons and High Elves they just don't seem very appealing. A lot of the skills here, you should note are well suited to thieves (for example the light armor and short blade skills), so that becomes a prominent factor in determining whether or not you choose them.

Again, there aren't any 15 point skill bonuses, which is a shame, but the skills in which there are bonuses are very useful. Since you will probably be being a thief (with good spellcasting abilities as backup) these skills are almost perfectly suited.

The Dark Elvish special abilities are very good. Constant effect resist fire
75% and a very strong sanctuary spell for 60 seconds. The latter could be life saving in many situations as could the first. If you play as a Dark Elf for very long, then these abilities will be missed.

The male Dark Elf gets more Endurance that the female, however the female gets a higher personality rating. Personality is better suited to thieves, so that would be useful, however, the aesthetic choice might sway your choice of gender.

Summary: Dark Elves can be excellent in any area, provided you start with the right array of skills. They are particularly adept at thievery, and don't lack any magic skill. A wise choice in any case.
