Race Half-Elf.png

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

About Half-Elves

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.

Racial Features

All Half-Elves receive the following racial features:

(Note: these are the racial and subrace features of Half-Elves as of Patch 9 of Early Access; they will be different in the full release of the game.)

High Half-Elves

Default High Half-Elf appearances

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.

Subrace Traits

  • Base Racial Speed: 9 m / 30 ft
  • Cantrip: (Choose 1) High Elf Cantrip

Wood Half-Elves

Default Wood Half-Elf appearances

Like their wood elf parent, these half-elves have a quickened stride and eye for stealth. Yet many break away from isolation in Faerûn's forests to explore the rest of the Realms.

Subrace Traits

  • Fleet of Foot: Your Movement Speed is 10.5 m / 35 ft
  • Mask of the Wild: You were raised to blend into your natural surroundings. You gain Proficiency in Stealth.

Drow Half-Elves

Default Drow Half-Elf appearances

Most Half-Drow result from liaisons between Seldarine Drow and surfacers. While Half-Drow inherit a few magical gifts, they aren't usually raised in the Underdark.

To be Half-Drow is to wrestle with a violent and complicated legacy. Cleverness and tenacity serve them well, for they are caught between two very different worlds.

Subrace Traits
