Playing ghetto this age, and I'm thinking of running Elf/Merchant. It seems to me that it'll give me reasonable flexibilty to play it however I want, and to change my mind as I like if I change ghettoes.
BIG EDIT : Just found a couple of threads on Elf A/m, (still not many that actively recommend Merchant, but np).
Let me rephrase my question to this...Is there any race that can play A/m as well as Elf? If so, what and why (throw in 'how' if you want... :)
