Fallen Empire: Races - Half-Elves

Half-Elves

This is a variant version of half-elves that will be used in the Fallen Empire campaign setting. Because elves in the campaign setting were hunted almost to extinction during the Age of Tyranny, many elves took refuge among friendly communities of other races, and inevitably intermixed with them. Many of the remnant elven families have many members who are actually half-elves.

Because the Fallen Empire does not use favored classes, this version of the half-elf race has no defined favored class, but if it did, the favored class would be any class.
