[DF] Arctic Elf Template

DAT · 03-29-2015, 02:34 PM

Hey Folks,
I am looking at having a DF game set in the far North, and it makes sense to have some Arctic Races, including Arctic Elves. So I need to come up with a template. I have lots of options when it comes to advantages that make sense, but two main ones are shown below. Any thoughts on which might be better in play? Or if a different option of advantages is suggested?
Thanks.
