Category:Half-Elf (Monster) Race

Half-elves, as usually defined, are humanoids born through the union of an elf and a human. Whether a half-elf was raised by their human parent or their elven parent, they often feel isolated and alone. Because they take around twenty years to reach adulthood, they mature quickly when raised by elves (who think they look like humans), making them feel like an outsider in either place.

Most half-elves are descended from moon elves. Pairings of elves and other races also existed, though they were rare.

Half elves stand roughly around 5 feet 5 inches to six feet two inches (1.65 - 1.88 meters), making them only slightly shorter overall than humans, and weigh in at 130 - 190 lbs. (59 - 86 kg), making them heavier than elves but still considerably lighter than humans. Like humans, half-elves have a wide variety of complexions, some of which are inherited from the elven half of their heritage, such as a tendency for metallic-hued skin and inhuman hair colors.

Half-elves are also notably more durable and passionate than either elves or humans, a unique result of the two races' blending.

Half-elves gain an unusual blend of abilities from their two heritages. More durable and more innately charming than either humans or elves, half-elves lack the grace or wisdom of their elven parents, though they do have some of the versatility of their human ancestors. Half-elves have a natural ability to learn outside of their specialty, giving them a strength in adaptability. Half-elves, like their elven parents, work well with others and could lend some of their own skill to friends or allies.

Like their elven parents, half-elves are typically immune to the effects of the enchantment school of magic. Likewise, half-elves also inherit the ability to see keenly in low-light conditions, with little or no ill effect, and have enhanced senses of sight and hearing compared to their human brethren.
