Half-Elves
Becuase
of their parantage, half-elves have quite distinct features. Drow
half-elves tend to have dusky skin, silver or white hair and human eye
colors. (They have 60' darkvision but gain no other Drow ability)
Moon half-elves tend toward pale skin with a tinge of blue around the ears
and chin. Sea half-elves tend to blend the flesh tones of their human
and elven parents (but cannot breath water). Sun half-elves have
bronzed skin. Wild half-elves have medium-brown skin. Wood
half-elves have coppery skin tinged with green.
Regions : Most
half-elves are loners because of their uniques parentage. However,
a few stable communities of half-elves are sprinkled around the landscape
of Faerun. Aglarond, Cormyr, the Dalelands, the High Forest, and
Silverymoon posses relatively high populations of half-elves and are appropriate
homelands for half-elven characters. Half-elves from these areas
generally find more acceptance than theri solitary counterparts.
Half-elves can also select the racial entry of their elven parent.
