Right, but that’s just one figure that had to introduce the class into the race.
Whereas Elf Hunters are natural. It’s core to pretty much every elf race in any fantasy game. You don’t need a specific icon to know elves and hunters go hand in hand.
Same with Human and Orc Warriors, or sneaky Undead Rogues & Warlocks.
Not saying it doesn’t fit, I just don’t see Paladin Elves to the same degree as Orc Warriors or Elven Hunters.
