Half-Elf

HUMANOID

To humans, half-elves look like elves, and to elves, they look human. In height, they’re on par with both parents, though they’re neither as slender as elves nor as broad as humans. They range from under 5 feet to about 6 feet tall, and from 100 to 180 pounds, with men only slightly taller and heavier than women. Half-elf men do have facial hair, and sometimes grow beards to mask their elven ancestry. Half-elven coloration and features lie somewhere between their human and elf parents, and thus show a variety even more pronounced than that found among either race. They tend to have the eyes of their elven parents.  

They tend to be fairly common in the Kingdom of Therassia.


Half-Elf Traits

Size: Medium (about 5–7 feet tall)

Speed: 30 feet

As a Half-Elf, you have these special traits.

Darkvision. Thanks to your elf blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.   Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.   Skill Versatility. You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.  

Elven Lineages

  • Drow. The range of your Darkvision increases to 120 feet. You also know the Dancing Lights cantrip.
  • High Elf. You know the Prestidigitation cantrip. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can replace that cantrip with a different cantrip from the Wizard spell list.
  • Wood Elf. Your Speed increases to 35 feet. You also know the Druidcraft cantrip.
