Description
Half-Elves are the result of a cross-breeding between a Human and an Elf, the only interracial pairing that can successfully produce offspring. Half-Elves possess the strength of a Human and the agility of an Elf, and fall somewhere between the two in height and weight. They are readily accepted in either Elven or Human society, but because of their unusual heritage Half-Elves are unable to reproduce.
While they can see in the dark and resist magical control like their Elven ancestors, Half-Elves also inherit Human versatility and can be trained in most classes. They seem to regenerate faster and are less likely to get sick than either Elves or Humans, most likely because of their genetic diversity.
Half-elves' racial ability is to be able to innately determine when they are in a wooded area, and to have a 30% chance per tick to cure their own poison while in the woods. Half-elves and their mounts are immune to tangle vines. Half-elves deal 14% more damage with slug-thrower and archery weapons.
