Ok let me rephrase… I realize the first post might be too general.
I like the Elf and Half-Elf in the PHB. However I am creating a campaign where elves can “pass on” their heritage to any living creature, and I was trying to come up with the half-elf as a template, that can be added to OTHER races, so we could have (pardon the nonsense here for a minute) a half-elf dwarf, a half elf lizard man.
Maybe it could be called elven ancestry or something like that, grant half-elf traits, and still be ECL 0.
Do any of you know if something like this exists? I just wanted to bounce my ideas against existing rules and see how they meshed… Perhaps I should look in the house rules forum?
Thanks!
