Description

Half-elves speak Elven, and most also know Common and Sylvan.

Combat

Elves are cautious warriors and take time to analyze their opponents and the location of the fight if at all possible, maximizing their advantage by using ambushes, snipers, and camouflage. They prefer to fire from cover and retreat before they are found, repeating this maneuver until all of their enemies are dead. Their wizards often use sleep spells during combat because these won't affect other elves.

Half-Elven Traits (Ex): These are in addition to the basic elf traits, except where noted here.

  • Proficient with longsword, rapier, longbow, composite longbow, shortbow, and composite shortbow, regardless of character class.
  • Immunity to magic sleep spells and effects.
  • +2 racial bonus to Will saves against enchantment spells or effects.
  • Low-Light Vision: Half-elves can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, etc.
  • +1 racial bonus to Search, Spot, and Listen checks.
