Desert Half-Elves

Desert elves often wed humans, just as their more common cousins do, producing desert half-elf children. These offspring often serve as diplomats and negotiators for either their human or elf communities, depending on where they live.

Racial Traits: Desert half-elves have the following racial traits.

• Humanoid (Elf).
• Medium: As Medium creatures, desert half-elves have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.

• Immunity to sleep spells and similar magical effects, and a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against enchantment spells or effects.
• Low-Light Vision: A desert half-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.

• Elven Blood: For all effects related to race, a desert half-elf is considered an elf.
