Reinstate High Elf, Remove Merfolk (Op Buff Too)
If High Elf isn't very similar to Tengu, and if they're played the same way, High Elf is almost strictly a weaker blaster caster, and if they challenge one-another in melee, Tengu is generally better at maintaining the melee role though will always lag behind in HP. High Elf is not made to utilize one form of combat without significant support from items and deities, while Tengu can be.
Merfolk generally train one weapon (polearms), enough armour to wear ring mail comfortably, perhaps a buckler if they pull a particularly good trident from somewhere, then dodging until infinity. Their magic aptitudes are lackluster at best and bad at worst, with their outliner being Transmutations, or Magical Unarmed. They make for similar characters every game with little deviation because they lack room for such.
If Merfolk were removed, High Elf wouldn't be contested by Merfolk and would further stand out in its infallible niches, and it's floating fast swim mechanic could be given to Octopode, because that would be awesome and rule of cool surpasses impregnable logic sometimes, and it would make the water branch rune less deadly to obtain for them. Octopodes are certainly not overpowered, and this would make them feel pretty commanding without having farmed for eight artifact rings in a zigg with Necromutation.
