[QUOTE="Angel Tarragon, post: 3943775, member: 23733"] I'm looking at modifying Illumians for my homebrew to be an elf-offshoot race called Rune Elves. However, looking over Illumians, it looks ro me like they need at least a +1 LA. And adding all of the racial features to basic elf, I guess it would be +2. Thoughts? [sblock=Homebrew Elves][B]Elves[/B] [list][*]+2 Intelligence, +2 Charisma, -2 Constitution. [*]Medium: As Medium creatures, elves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. [*]Elf base land speed is 30 feet. Elf base swim speed is 20 feet. [*]Elves can cast detect magic as a spell-like ability at will; caster level is equal to half hit dice. [*]Immunity to magic sleep effects, and a +3 racial saving throw bonus against enchantment spells or effects. [*]Low-Light Vision: An elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. She retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. [*]Since magic is an integral part of the elven way of life, Knowledge (arcana) and Spellcraft are always treated as class skills. Additionally, the elf gains a +2 racial bonus with these skills. [*]Weapon Proficiency: Elves receive the Martial Weapon Proficiency feats for the longsword, rapier, longbow (including composite longbow), and shortbow (including composite shortbow) as bonus feats. [*]+3 racial bonus on Listen, Search, Spot and Swim checks. An elf that merely passes within 5 feet of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a Search check to notice it as if she were actively looking for it. [*]Automatic Languages: Common and Elven. Bonus Languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, and Sylvan. [*]Favored Class: Wizard or Sorcerer.[/list][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
