'''Half-Elves''' are a playable [[race]] in [[Baldur's Gate 3]].


Half-elves inherit blessings from both their parents, but at the price of never quite fitting in. Curious, ambitious, and versatile, half-elves are welcome everywhere, but struggle without a community to call their own.

A touch of the [[Feywild]] remains in half-elves with this bloodline, and even those untrained in magic possess a hint of wild power.


A step further from the Feywild than their high elf parent, these half-elves still hold a magical spark. They mature faster than their brethren, but only live a few decades longer than humans.
