A half-elf is a child of a human and an elf or of two half-elves. Half-elves inherit characteristics of both their parent races, but are treated with distrust and often contempt by both elves and humans. A human with a quarter of elven blood is called a quarter-elf.
Perks
Select a total of 3 Perks from the following of which at least 1 must be selected from Elf Perks and 1 from Human Perks:
Elf Perks
Artistic
Elves have a natural eye for beauty and a talent for artistic endeavors. Elves gain an inherent +1 to their Fine Arts skill.
Marksman
Years of tradition and practice make elves some of the best archers in the world. Elves gain an inherent +2 to their Archery skill and can draw and string a bow without taking an action.
Natural Attunement
Elves have a deep magical bond with nature itself. Elves do not disturb animals, meaning that any beast they encounter is considered friendly and will not attack unless provoked. Elves also automatically find any plant substance rated as commonly available (or lower) that they are seeking, as long as the substance would occur naturally in the surrounding terrain
Delicate Looks
Your character gains +2 bonus to all Empathy based skill checks in situations where appearance has an effect. This bonus does not stack with any magical effects, such as the Glamour spell. A character with this Perk can be mistaken for an Elf. In such a case the character's effective Social Standing for that encounter is that of Elves
Human Perks
Ingenuity
Humans are clever and often have brilliant solutions to difficult problems. Humans gain an inherent +1 to Deduction.
Blindly Stubborn
Part of the human race’s greatest strength is its willingness to charge forward endlessly, even into truly life-threatening situations. A human can summon up their courage and reroll a failed Resist Coercion or Courage roll 3 times per game session. They take the higher of the two rolls, but if they still fail they cannot re-use the ability to roll again.
