Elven Traits
|
Elves tend to be somewhat shorter and slimmer than normal humans. Their features are
finely chiseled and delicate, and they speak in melodic tones. Although they appear
fragile and weak, as a race they are quick and strong. Elves often live to be over 1,200
years old, although long before this time they feel compelled to depart the realms of men
and mortals.
As initial languages, an elf can choose common, elf, gnome,
halfling, goblin, hobgoblin, orc, and gnoll. The number of languages an elf can learn is
limited by his Intelligence (see Table 4) or the proficiency slots he allots to languages (if
that optional system is used).
Elven characters have 90 resistance to sleep and all charm-related spells. (See
Chapter 9: Combat for an explanation of magic resistance.) This is in addition to the
normal saving throw allowed against a charm spell.
When employing a bow of any sort other than a crossbow, or when using a short or
long sword, elves gain a bonus of +1 to their attack rolls.
An elf can gain a bonus to surprise opponents, but only if the elf is not in metal armor.
Even then, the elf must either be alone, or with a party comprised only of elves or
halflings (also not in metal armor), or 90 feet or more away from his party (the group of
characters he is with) to gain this bonus. If he fulfills these conditions, he moves so
silently that opponents suffer a -4 penalty to their surprise die rolls. If the elf must open a
door or screen to attack, this penalty is reduced to -2.
Elven infravision enables them to see up to 60 feet in darkness.
Secret doors (those constructed so as to be hard to notice) and concealed doors (those
hidden from sight by screens, curtains, or the like) are difficult to hide from elves. Merely
passing within 10 feet of a concealed door gives an elven character a one-in-six chance
(roll a 1 on 1d6) to notice it. If actively searching for such doors, elven characters have a
one-in-three chance (roll a 1 or 2 on 1d6) to find a secret door and a one-in-two chance
(roll a 1, 2, or 3 on 1d6) to discover a concealed portal.
As stated previously, elven characters add 1 to their initial Dexterity scores. Likewise,
as elves are not as sturdy as humans, they deduct 1 from their initial Constitution scores. |
