Re: Lord of the Rings Elven Racial Template
I think these look rather nice.
Some extra suggestions:
I'd personally drop the Acute Senses, and just go with the Per bonus. This would simplify the template and would also be more economical points-wise. (Not necessarily a concern, I know.) We don't hear about elves having particularly acute touch, taste, or smell, but I think it's a reasonable guess that it just doesn't come up in the narration.
Also, the racial skill bonuses. I think Acrobatics should be included in addition to Stealth and Light Walk (also because it's a prerequisite for the latter) but I also think they should be combined into a racial talent, as per p. B452 (possibly padded with one or two extra skills like Dancing or Jumping) or just forgotten. A generous bonus to DX might be quite enough.
