The elves are an acient race - often thought to be the very first humanoid race in exsitance. They are figures of beauty and grace and this shows in everything that they do. They have developed artistic styles of magic and sword play and their language sounds like music to non-elven races.

Because of their long existance, elves are now divided into numerious subraces, each with their own culture and set of traits. Some subraces developed as a result of their enviroment and isolation while others appeared through cross breeding or magical alternation. Three subraces, the drow, shadow elves, and dusk elves, resulted from clans and families being exiled for various reasons.

Mad Elves

The mad elves were once high elves than fell victim to a horrible curse. All of the children born to these cursed elves still possessed a lesser form of the curse and were never quite sane. The mad elves are looked down on by other elves - some pity them and others fear them. Any elf of any other subrace that mates and produces a child with a mad elf passes the curse on and their children are born as full mad elves and have no traits of their sound minded parent.

Sky Elves

A noble Dijinn fancied the beauty of elves so much he collected a great number of the most beautiful blue eyed-blond haired elven maidens for his personal harem. His pleasure created a large number of Elven half breeds that became the racial basis for the sky elves. Very few elves are aware than this was their origin, even though many of these half bred elves are still alive, but in hiding. Since then the sky elf offspring have collected in small communities or have bred out their traits and blended in to other elven societies. Besides always being blue eyed, having blond hair, and being exceptional beautiful or handsome, sky elves appear very similar to other elves.

- Favored Class: Bard. A multiclass sky elf’s bard class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.

Shadow Elves

The shadow elves were once a normal family of elves that fled their enemies by fleeing through a portal into the plane of shadow. After generations of hiding in the shadow plane, the dark energies of the place twisted their bodies and minds. Though not actually evil, almost all shadow elves have dark personalities. They still retain some of their abilities from their elven heritage, but have also developed new abilities using their ties with their dark plane. Most shadow elves remain on the plane of shadow, knowing that they no longer have a place on the prime planes; however, a few do venture back to their previous home to find work as spies, assassins, and shadow mages. Shadow elves are one of three exiled elven subraces - the others being the dark elves and dusk elves.

- +2 Dexterity, +2 Intelligence, –2 Constitution, –2 Wisdom: Shadow Elves are quick in both body and mind, but their dark plane has also twisted both, leaving them prone to sickness and on the edge of sanity.

- Level Adjustment +1.

Dusk Elves

Dusk elves the last of the exiled elf subraces. They were a clan of magically gifted elves that began to dabble in necromancy and death magic. They were seen as aberrations to the rest of the elven community around them. They refused to cease their unnatural research and experiments and were exiled by force from their ancestral home. Even since then they have been bitter and resentful of the other elven subraces. After many millennia of practicing their dark magic and breeding only within their kind, the dusk elves have produced their own self sustaining subrace. Dusk elves live nocturnally and are most active under the cover of darkness. They do not share the elven traits of beauty and grace as the other subraces do - most are deformed and ugly, twisted by thousands of years of practicing the dark arts. Dusk elves have skin that is shades of grey with black hair that begins graying at an early age. The most disturbing feature of the dusk elves are their eyes - though not blind, they have milky white eyes with a small pupil and no cornea. Although most use dark magic, many dusk elves are fighters and rogues as well.

- Necromantic Boon: dusk elves cast spells from the school of necromancy as if they were one level higher. This adjustment stacks with those from similar effects.
- Necromantic Curse: dusk elves only receive a partial benefit from healing spells. When a dusk elf is the recipient of a healing spell that restores hit points, they are only healed one half (rounded down) the number of hit points.
- Automatic Languages: Common, Elven. Bonus Languages: Abyssal, Aquan, Draconic, Gnome, Goblin, Orc.
- Favored Class: Wizard (Necromancer). A multiclass dusk elf’s wizard class does not count when determining whether she takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.

Aquatic Elf

Rune Elf

Rune elves are named for their practice of tattooing arcane runes on their face and arms. Taller and grander in physical appearance than others of their race, rune elves have a reputation for being aloof and arrogant (even by elven standards). They have either silver hair and amber eyes or pale golden hair and violet eyes. They prefer clothing of white, silver, yellow, or gold, with cloaks of deep blue or purple.

Common elves are the most numerous subrace of elves. They easy make up over seventy percent of the total elven population and thus are considered to possess the sterotypical elven traits. They are quick and graceful, but their thin limbs make them fragile. Common elves consider themselves the truest elven subrace and thus are extremely proud (some would say arrogant) of their heritage.

Elf Half Breeds

Only the more common non-exile elven subraces breed with other humaniod races and product viable offspring. Though all elves can breed with any humaniod, only half human half elves are a sustainable sub race of their own - both because matings that produce them are more common and they are not sterile as most half breeds are. The exile elves generally have a difficult conceiving within their subrace and have never been known to product sterile offspring with any other race.

Aquatic Half-Elf

The statistics below are for a half elf breed with a human and an aquatic elf. The making between a human and an aquantic elf is rare, but they can reproduce and several small fishing villages and communities have been founded by half breeds. Aquatic half-elves have the best of both worlds; they can breath both air and water and survive on the land or in the sea. They appear as normal half-elves, but usually have pale skin and green or blue hair. They have small webbing between their fingers and toes, but not as pronounced as their aquatic parent. The half breeds are amphibious - they have gills on their neck that close when they use their lungs to breath.

• A aquatic half-elf ’s base land speed is 30 feet and a swim speed of 30 feet.
• Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects, and a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells or effects.

• Automatic Languages: Common, Elven. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).
• Favored Class: Any. When determining whether a multiclass aquatic half-elf takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing, her highest-level class does not count.

Elf Vital Statistics

Age

You can choose or randomly generate your character’s age. If you choose it, it must be at least the minimum age for the character’s race and class (see Table: Random Starting Ages). Your character’s minimum starting age is the adulthood age of his or her race plus the number of dice indicated in the entry corresponding to the character’s race and class on Table: Random Starting Ages.

Alternatively, refer to Table: Random Starting Ages and roll dice to determine how old your character is.

With age, a character’s physical ability scores decrease and his or her mental ability scores increase (see Table: Aging Effects). The effects of each aging step are cumulative. However, none of a character’s ability scores can be reduced below 1 in this way.

When a character reaches venerable age, secretly roll his or her maximum age, which is the number from the Venerable column on Table: Aging Effects plus the result of the dice roll indicated on the Maximum Age column on that table, and records the result, which the player does not know. A character who reaches his or her maximum age dies of old age at some time during the following year.

The maximum ages are for player characters. Most people in the world at large die from pestilence, accidents, infections, or violence before getting to venerable age.

Height And Weight

The dice roll given in the Height Modifier column determines the character’s extra height beyond the base height. That same number multiplied by the dice roll or quantity given in the Weight Modifier column determines the character’s extra weight beyond the base weight.

Height And Weight

The dice roll given in the Height Modifier column determines the character’s extra height beyond the base height. That same number multiplied by the dice roll or quantity given in the Weight Modifier column determines the character’s extra weight beyond the base weight.

Elf Racial Classes

The elves have a number of racial classes, class varients, and prestiage classes that are available only to elves or those of elven blood.

Elf (Racial Class)

Alignment:Any.

Hit Die: d8.

Class Skills

The elf's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Knowledge [all skills, taken individually] (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Skill Points at 1st Level: (2 + Int modifier) x4.

Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 2 + Int modifier.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the elf class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Elves are proficient with all simple weapons, rapiers, longswords, shortbows, and longbows. Elves are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.

Spells per Day: At 2nd, 3rd, and 5th level, an elf gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in an arcane spell casting class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic feats, and so on). This essentially means that she adds the level of elf to her level in an arcane spell casting class, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly. If the character has no spell casting class, they gain the spell casting ability of a 1st level arcane caster of their favored class. Wood elves and aquatic elves gain the casting ability of a 1st level sorcerer (their favored class is not an arcane spell casting class).

Elfsight (Ex): An elf has exceptional visual acuity. Her bonus on Search and Spot checks increases by +2. In addition, an elf's low-light vision increases in range, allowing her to see three times as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. At 4th level the bonus on Search and Spot inceases by +2 again and the elf's low light vision increases to four times.

Resist Enchantments (Ex): An elf's bonus on saves against enchantment spells or effects increases by 2.

Weapon Focus (Ex): At 2nd level, an elf gains Weapon Focus as a bonus feat. This feat must apply to a weapon that they have a racial proficiency with.

Ability Boost (Ex):At 3rd level, one of an elf's ability scores increases by 2 points. The ability score increased must be the same ability score in which the subrace gains a racial bonus.

Bonus Feat: At 4th level, a elf gets a bonus racial-oriented feat in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats listed here:

Weapon Specialization (Ex): At 5th level, an elf gains Weapon Specialization as a bonus feat. This feat must apply to a weapon that they have a racial proficiency with and one that they have also applied the Weapon Focus feat.

Exiled Elf (Racial Class)

Special: Only members of the drow, dusk elf, and shadow elf subraces may take levels in Exiled Elf.

Alignment: Usually Evil

Hit Die: d6.

Class Skills

The exiled elf's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge [all skills, taken individually] (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), Spot (Wis), Survival (Wis), and Swim (Str).

Skill Points at 1st Level: (4 + Int modifier) x4.

Skill Points at Each Additional Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the exiled elf class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Exiled elves are proficient with all simple weapons, rapiers, longswords, shortbows, and longbows. Exiled elves are proficient with light armor, but not with shields.

Spells per Day: At 1st, 3rd, and 5th level, an exiled elf gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in an arcane or divine spell casting class. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (bonus metamagic feats, and so on). This essentially means that he adds the level of elf to his level in an arcane or divine spell casting class, then determines spells per day and caster level accordingly. If the character has no spell casting class, they gain the spell casting ability of a 1st level caster of their favored class. Shadow elves gain the casting ability of a 1st level wizard (their favored class is not an arcane spell casting class).

Improved Spell-Like Abilities: At 1st level, a exiled elf gains one additional daily use of each of his innate spell-like abilities. If the exiled elf has no spell like abilities, this has no effect.

Weapon Focus (Ex): At 2nd level, an exiled elf gains Weapon Focus as a bonus feat. This feat must apply to a weapon that they have a racial proficiency with.

Light Sensitivity (Ex): A 2nd-level exiled elf's light blindness is lessened to light sensitivity. Instead of being blinded by bright light, he is merely dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell. If the exiled elf has no light sensitivity, this has no effect.

Ability Boost (Ex):At 3rd level, one of an exiled elf's ability scores increases by 2 points. The ability score increased must be the same ability score in which the subrace gains a racial bonus.

Bonus Feat: At 4th level, a exiled elf gets a bonus racial-oriented feat in addition to the feat that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. These bonus feats must be drawn from the feats listed here:

Weapon Specialization (Ex): At 5th level, an exiled elf gains Weapon Specialization as a bonus feat. This feat must apply to a weapon that they have a racial proficiency with and one that they have also applied the Weapon Focus feat.
