Dark halfelf

Dark halfelves descend from the union of human and drow parents. They reach about 160 cm. in heigth and they weigh about 60 kg. Dark halfelves are despised and rejected by both races (especially by drows, who can't accept the fact that a dark halfelf has human blood in his veins). In some dark halfelf human features are dominating and they can be seen as humans in public. Their skin varies from dark brown to blackish; hair can be blond, black, gray, white, brown, red or any other intermediate hue. Dark halfelves are usually lone wolves, shy and cold and they always have a strong uneasyness (it's hard to bear the mark of shame). Their mixed blood gives them attributes of both races and they can belong to the following classes: cleric, druid, warrior, wizard, ranger, thief and specialist wizard; they can also have a multiclass combination. Dark halfelves can be of any alignment.

Players who choose a dark halfelf as their characters have 45 character points do use in the racial skills.

These points can be spent to create a custom halfelf following the general skills list detailed later, or they can be spent do buy subrace skill in block. Up to 5 CP can be kept for later use during character creation.
