In most cases this is due to either a romantic liaison or rape (often the case with half-goblins), but in some cases (such as with changelings) the interference may be more insidious.It is possible for a demi-human character to be a beast-touched half-elf caliban. In this case, the demi-human templates are said to be compounded. Each template describes the likelihood of offspring carrying the template, and the penalties for compounding one template with others. Some templates cannot be compounded.All demi-human characters share these basic traits:· Humanoid type and Human subtype (but may have other subtypes).· Medium: As Medium creatures, demi-humans have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. · Demi-human base land speed is 30 feet. · Adding a template to a base human racial type creates all demi-human characters. As a result, demi-humans are allowed to gain racial levels in their initial human type; however, they may only take two levels in their base human type and admixed demi-humans cannot take human type racial levels.· Demi-humans do not gain additional skill points, or a bonus feat at first level, as do humans.Half-ElfOf all the fey, elves are perhaps the most likely to mate with humans and produce viable offspring. Half-elves may be of several human types, or admixed from the human types listed below. They are always of a single elf type, and can only take elven racial levels in the “class” of that elf type. Because of their strong human blood, half-elves are not specifically affected by cold iron, and can gain the benefit of divine miracles and rituals (although they cannot become Priests).· Human Types: Alderhald, Fenlanders, Indrus, Lakashi, and Lakelanders· Outcast Rating: +2.· Low-Light Vision: A half-elf can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.· Elven Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-elf is considered an elf. A half-elf is allowed to take up to one racial level in the elf type of his elven parent. The maximum of three racial levels still applies. Half-elves are considered elves for the purpose of prestige class requirements.· Fey-Kin: In addition to the Humanoid type, a half-elf is considered to be of the Fey type for the purpose of any spell, feat, or special ability. In addition, the half-elf may take up to one racial level in the Seelie, Unseelie, or Wild Fey racial “class”. The maximum of three racial levels still applies. Half-elves are not considered Fey for the purposes of prestige class requirements.· Bonus Languages: As human type, plus Sylvan.· Favoured Class: Ranger.· Other Core Classes Allowed: As human type, plus Druid, Magician, Psychic, Shaman, and Witch (Wood). Regardless of human type, this character cannot become a Priest.· The offspring of a half-elf and an elf is an elf. The offspring of a half-elf and a human is a human. However, a half-elf may aquire additional templates from its human parent; these are limited to beast-touched and caliban. Each additional template adds to the ECL of the half-elf template. A beast-touched half-elf would have an ECL of +2, for example, and a beast-touched half-elf caliban would have an ECL of +3.· Effective Character Level: +1.</blockquote>
