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.

High Half-Elves

Default High Half-Elf appearance

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.

Wood Half-Elves

Default Wood Half-Elf appearance

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 11m / 35ft
• Mask of the Wild

Drow Half-Elves

Default Drow Half-Elf appearance

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.
