Half-Elf

D&D Beyond Article: Half-Elf

 

Half-Elf Traits: Your half-elf character has some qualities in common with elves and some that are unique to half-elves.  

Ability Score Increase: Your Charisma score increases by 2, and two other ability scores of your choice increase by 1.  

The altnernate rule for increasing ability scores found in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything is allowed -- take any ability score increase you gain in your race or subrace and apply it to an ability score of your choice. If you gain more than one increase, you can’t apply those increases to the same ability score, and you can’t increase a score above 20.

 

Age: Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years.  

Size: Half-elves are about the same size as humans, ranging from 5 to 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.  

Speed: Your base walking speed is 30 feet.  

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 two skills of your choice.  

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and one extra language of your choice.  

The following sub-races of Half-Elf exist in Chronala

Some half-elves in Chronala have a racial trait in place of the Skill Versatility trait. Your half-elf character can forgo Skill Versatility and instead take a trait based on your elf parentage.

 

Drow Magic: A half-elf of drow descent can forgo Skill Versatility and instead choose the drow’s Drow Magic:

 

You know the dancing lights cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the faerie fire spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the darkness spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
