Half-Elf
A half-elf is born to an elf and another ancestry, or to two half-elves. The life of a half-elf can be difficult, often marked by a struggle to fit in. Half-elves don’t have their own
homeland on Golarion, nor are populations of half-elves particularly tied to one another, since they often have very disparate traditions. Instead, most half-elves attempt to find acceptance in either of their natural settlements.
Half-elves often appear with subtly pointed ears and tall stature. Half-elves lack the almost alien eyes of their Elf parents, though they do have a natural presence—and often a striking beauty— that leads many to become artists or entertainers. Despite this innate appeal, many half‑elves have difficulty forming lasting bonds due to the distance they feel from both peoples as a whole.
Ancestry Feats
First Level
- Elf Atavism
Elf Atavism - Ancestry Feat 1TRAIT
Requirements Half-Elf HeritageDescription Your elven blood runs particularly strong, granting you features far more elven than those of a typical half-elf. You may also have been raised among elves, steeped in your elven ancestors’ heritage.
Applications You gain the benefits of the elf heritage of your elven parent or ancestors. You typically can’t select a heritage that depends on or improves an elven feature you don’t have. For example, you couldn’t gain the cavern elf’s darkvision ability if you didn’t have low-light vision. In these cases, at the GM’s discretion, you might gain a different benefit. Special You can take this feat only at 1st level, and you can’t retrain out of this feat or into this feat.
Fifth Level
