That could even potentially include almost everything on the elf templates, leaving them only slightly more expensive than humans. |

Re: PC Races of Middle Earth
I always have a hard time with appearance in general. I tend toward the camp that races shouldn't get appearance modifiers since it's relative to the race, but I waver. Let's not get into that discussion here. I've added appearance (positive) and charisma as common traits to all the Elf templates.

Other disadvantages for elves... You could probably justify Social Stigma (Minority Group) - they're definitely in the minority compared to humans, and lots of humans react negatively to them, considering them suspicious or uncanny. Other than that, I can't think of any other disadvantages that are really universal for elves. However, one thing you could also do is come up with a short list of "stereotypical" or simply extremely common disadvantages, and say that, while they don't count as part of the racial template, a member of that race can take them without them counting against any disadvantage limit. That's the approach the Discworld RPG takes with several "common but not universal" disadvantages for some of its non-human species. |

Re: PC Races of Middle Earth
That's why I split "domination" out from "mind control" - it's canonical that the Rings of Power "inflamed" the dwarven bearers' lust for gold. Clearly dwarves can be influenced - see also Gimli being susceptible to the supernatural fear of the Dead Men of Dunharrow, for example. But you can't straight-up break their mind and order them to follow your orders.
