Orc-Elves

AKA Orcelves.

History of the Race: Orc-Elves are extremely rare due to the very different lifestyles of the two races. They typically are the result of Orc raids on Elf cities, and the taking of Elves as spouses or concubines. An Orc that has left nomadic life and settled in a city could very well marry an Elf or engage with an Elven prostitute, but this rarely occurs.

Physical Description: Orc-Elves are odd ducks. They have the incredible height of their parent races, but the curving features of elves look off on the body so like an Orc. They are strong of body and mind, but struggle to attract people.

Society: As one of the rarer Half-Races, they often exist as outsiders within the societies they are born to. The children in Nomadic Orc tribes often are treated better than their counterparts in the city.

Relations: An Orc-Elf is often wary of kindness due to their difficult lives, and will take time to come to connect to anyone.

Alignment and Religion: Their ostracized lives typically lead them to double down on the laws of their societies to try and fit in, becoming highly lawful characters.

Adventurers: When an Orc-Elf becomes an adventurer, it is often the result of being cast out of the family unit or orphaned. These adventuring folk will usually live lonely lives, but can be powerful allies.

+2 STR, +2 INT, -4 CHA: Orc-elf characters get a +2 bonus to strength and intelligence, but their odd features and gangly bodies make them difficult to sway people to their side.

Medium: Orc-elves are Medium creatures and have no bonuses or penalties due to their size.

Normal Speed: Orc-elves have a base speed of 30 feet.

Low-Light Vision: Orc-elves can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.

Orc-Elf Blood: Orc-elves count as both elves and orcs for any effect related to race.

Languages: Orc-elves begin play speaking Common and Elven and Orc. Orc-elves with high Intelligence scores can choose any languages they want (except secret languages, such as Druidic).
