[QUOTE="Al'Kelhar, post: 790534, member: 7884"] I nicked the concept of half-elf as a 1st level human character's bonus feat off the boards a few months back, and this is the version which I now use IMC: "[B]Half-Elf[/B] A half-elf is a human who has taken the following feat as their bonus feat at 1st level. [B]Half-Elf (Initial)[/B] The blood of elves courses through your veins. [B]Prerequisites:[/B] Human race, character must be 1st level. [B]Benefits[/B]: You gain the following benefits as racial benefits: - Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects, and a +2 racial bonus to saving throws against Enchantment spells or effects. - Low-light Vision. - +1 racial bonus to Listen, Search and Spot checks. - Elven blood: Your Humanoid type modifier is (elf). For all special abilities and effects, you are considered to be an elf. For example, you are not affected by a ghoul’s paralysing touch. - Longevity and fine features: Your starting age and the effect of aging on you are determined by reference to the Half-Elf row on Tables 6-4 and 6-5 on p93 of PH. Your height and weight are determined by reference to the Half-Elf row on Table 6-6 on p93 of PH." The result is that the character retains the bonus skill points and favoured class of the humna, but gains some substantial racial benefits too. IMHO, one of the more powerful feats available.
