Nov 17, 2008 19:39:56 Ideas for Half-Elves with a different flavor.

I just want to hear others' ideas for alternate abilities or whatever. Some ideas people have mentioned are giving them a bonus feat, like Jack of All Trades and/or Linguist instead of a +2 to Con, .

Or a +2 to any ability score as a Human, instead of bonuses to designated ability scores.

Or Elven Accuracy for a more Elven Half-Elf instead of one of their abilities, etc.

Please no discussions on why they should or should not have a +2 to Con or about the Dilettante ability, just ideas for different flavor.

The skill points would be 3e. Many alternate Half-elves in that ed.

I am specifically looking for 4e suggestions (the bonus feat suggestion has been noted).

I would be interested to know what abilities you gave Half-Elves in 4e.

In fact I would be curios about the full Elves' abilities, as well.
