"In those days of our tale, there were still some people who had both Elves and heroes of the North for ancestors..." [Hobbit, p.85].

Half-Elves, or Peredhil, are the result of the union between an Elf and a human. Although there have been quite a few of them, they are still quite rare. The most famous Half-Elves are Dior Eluchil, the son of Beren and Lúthien, and the brothers Elrond and Elros, sons of Eärendil and Elwing (and grandsons of Dior on their mother's side). Elros became the first king of Nûmenor, and reigned for 500 years as Tar-Minyatur (Q. "First Master"), while Elrond remained in Middle-Earth, and is famous enough that his story need not be told here.

There is no skill template for Half-Elves. They should use the one appropriate for the people they were raised by (usually Elves of one stripe or another, but sometimes Edain). Use the 'Elves Table' for prior experience.

Like all elves, Half-Elves possess excellent eyesight, and can see as well under starlight as a human in daylight, and by the sun may see much better than humans; however, complete darkness robs them of sight just as easily. They also share the near immunity to all forms of disease common to the Firstborn, and resist diseases at double their normal CON. Half-Elves do not have to share in the Gift of Men (ie. dying of old age), but they do sometimes succumb. Even so, their lifespan will be prodigious.

Attributes:				What Do You Learn? Half-Elves are brought up in the society of one of their parents, so their native language is whatever they grow up learning.
