Thanks people!
Alternativly they could use the normal abilities of the human melees as well
(it would be the same like the human archer/elf archers- they share the same abilities). And if I am right, the same suggestion was made in german forum (for an male/female melee hero).
Uhmmm i dont know i dont think it would be very unique, they surely can have some similarities regarding abilities, but frankly have many differences since they are different races and melee elves specially are more ''magical''
It is true that elves are more mystic, but as far as I know, the Edain-team don't wants to add magic powers to CAH-roster. They removed the magic powers and class from CAH in an earlier version of the mod. So they won't add it later, but honestly you have my approval.
Magic powers for elves would be an suggestion or option for EAs submod "Chronicles" which brings the wizzard class back to game and maybe some magic to other classes later.
