Racial Articles Racial Abilities

The ability to see in extremely low light and no light conditions for 160 feet.

Indomitable Will

The ability to resist all fear, domination and charm spells (65%).

Silent Movement

The ability to stealth at a penalty of half movement speed (75%).

Ambidexterity

Half-Elves are ambidextrous and can use two small/medium sized weapons at +5% to hit.

Quickness

Physically, Half-Elves are more sturdy and physically stronger than their Shei parent, while being just outright faster than their Human parent. This allows for a sort of acrobatic attenuation that normally doesn't exist in either species. This allows for a natural -20% armor rating and either a flat 65% chance to dodge a single attack per round or a +10% chance to a class-based evasion score. This trait skill also allows for a +5% to both Acrobatics and Tracing non-weapon proficiencies. (-20% armor rating, 65% to dodge or +10% to an Evasion class skill. +5% to Acrobatics and Tracing non-weapon proficiencies).

Strength of Bloodlines

Half-Elves may take one trait from the Human Trait skills, reflecting the strength gained from the mingling of bloodlines. (Allows for one trait to be taken from Human Trait skills).

Path of Zorah (Moon Elf Lineage Only)

Half-Moon Elves can also use moonlight to travel long distances. If there is strong moonlight available to them (three-quarter moon, or better) they may use it to travel anywhere else on Imarel that it is night time. This feat can only be called on once per night. (100% success if destination is familiar. 50% chance for failure if the destination is unknown. Failure can mean being teleported somewhere else, or simply not going anywhere).

Gift of the Wild (Wild Elf Lineage Only)

Half-Wild Elves can hide in shadows if they remain still, because of their smaller profile and their naturally stealthy nature. Furthermore, Half-Wild Elves can move over land without leaving a discernible trail to track them by. This understanding of covering one's tracks also grants all Half-Wild Elves with basic tracking skills. (85% Stealth or +10% to superior Class Skill, 3% chance to be tracked. 55% to track).

Gift of Shadows (Shadow Elf Lineage Only)

When in the dark, Half-Shadow Elves can hide with uncanny ease, making them nearly undetectable under most circumstances. They are even able to move while maintaining this cover, providing they have made their Stealth check. When under the effect of the Gift of Shadows, a Half-Shadow Elf can surprise attack as well, giving them an advantage in combat. (85% stealth or +10% to superior class skill, Surprise Attack 55%, if successful the surprise attacker gains an extra attack that round).
