...And the whole fantasy genre has been inspiered be Tolkien. The different races and the way they are and all the creatures and special abilitys that warrior, rangers, wizards... have are all more or less invented by Tolkien.
In D&D for example, they also have Elves (who leave the lands of men after a time of 1200 and go somewhere else), hobbits (who are like.. hobbits! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] ), drawfs (who are really drawf-like), men and half-elves.
There are also driffrent kind of hobbit-races, like in LOTR.
BtW: Nothing against drawves, I really like them (although I´m elven [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] )

P.S. Didn´t want to double-post.. sorry [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
