Sample file Intro Half Races of the Realms is a campaign supplement designed to be used by both the dungeon master and player characters. In a campaign world full of numerous sentient hu- manoid creatures it's highly likely that mixed races other than just half-elves, half-orcs and half-ogres would arise, especially in certain areas in the Realms. This supplement depicts twelve of the most common half races, where they are most likely to be from, their unique traits, and how other groups of humanoids interact with them. List of Races (in Order of Appearance) Dwarf-elf (half dwarf, half elf) Dwarf-orc (half dwarf, half orc) Dwarfling (half dwarf, half halfling) Gnome-elf (half gnome, half elf) Half-dwarfElfling (half (half elf, half dwarf, halfling) half human) Half-trollHalf-gnome (half (half human, gnome, half half troll) halfling) PettyHalf-goblin Dwarf (half (half halfling, dwarf, half half gnome) goblin) Rat-orc (half orc, half goblin) Dwarf-elfThree-Quarterling (half human, half halfling) “A half-dwarf, half-elf? Disgusting. I’ve dedicated my life to eradicating those ugly, bearded ground-slugs from the face of Faerun. Any so called ‘dwarf-elf’ should be slain at birth before it infects our kind with tainted dwarf-blood. Our innocent women should never even have to think of such a wretched act as having one of those dirt-covered tanglebeards...” -Aramis Dwarfslayer, native of Myth Drannor, upon being asked if he ever encoun- tered a dwarf-elf. Dwarf-elves, called Elf-dwarfs by the dwarvenkind, are very rare, since most elves and dwarves don’t get along well. The pairing does happen on occasion though. Most Dwarf-elvesSample resemble stocky, short elves with thin beards and large noses.file WHERE THEY’RE COMMONLY FOUND Most recorded appearances of dwarf-elves have been in cities like Silverymoon, Water deep, or Raven’s Bluff, and the Dalelands. Most dwarf-elves are acknowledged as their mu- tual kinfolk, but they are often kept at an arms length distance. No dwarf-elves are allowed in Evermeet or Evereska, nor are any dwarf-elves allowed the deep dwarf cities, or Iron- master in the Frozenfar. PROUD AND TOUGH Dwarf-elves are often stubborn, like their dwarven kindred, but also somewhat vain and aloof like elves. Many come across as extremely arrogant and prideful, and although most are generally good-natured, a few have been lured by dark powers into evil.

HILL DWARFSample BLOODED file One of your parents was a hill dwarf, also called a gold dwarf, which imparted some of your dwarven kin’s intuitive nature in you. In the worlds of D&D, dwarf-elves who are half hill dwarf tend to have keen senses. They regard both elves and dwarves well, but they often are a bit sullen as they are never really accepted in either culture, but they’re often closer with their dwarven kin as the elves in the Shining South are usually very reserved and which hide deep within their woodlands. They interact with humans well, as well as with most other races, even half-orcs to a degree. Dwarf-elves who have hill dwarf blood are generally from the Shining South, near the Great Rift, and are often mixed with wild elves from the Forest of Amtar, or the Chondalwood. Ability Score Increase. Your Wisdom score increases by 1. MOUNTAIN DWARF BLOODED One of your parents was a mountain dwarf, often called a shield dwarf, which im- parted some of your dwarven kin’s physical strength in you. In the worlds of D&D, dwarf- elves who are half mountain dwarf tend to be very hardy. They often dwell in Silverymoon, Waterdeep, or up in Icewind Dale. Often they are of wood elf, high elf, or moon elf blood. Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 1. HIGH ELF BLOODED One of your parents was a high elf, often called a sun elf, which imparted some of the elvenkind’s Intellect within you. In the worlds of D&D, dwarf-elves who are half high elf tend to be slightly smarter than those around them. They most likely dwell in the North such as in Silverymoon, Waterdeep, or up in Icewind Dale, but also around the Sword Coast, Western Heartlands, or in the Daleslands and the Vast. Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score increases by 1. WOOD ELF BLOODED One of your parents was a wood elf, often called a wild elves and green elves, which imparted some of the elvenkind’s deep wisdom in you. In the worlds of D&D, dwarf-elves who are half wood elf have keener senses as they are used the the dangers of the wild. They often dwell in North by the High Forest, in Silverymoon, and Waterdeep. Many also dwell on the edges of the Chondalwood and the Forest of Amtar in the Shining South. Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases by 1. DROW BLOODED SampleOne of your parents was a dark elf, often called a drow, which impartedfile some of the dark elve’s sinister Charisma in you. In the worlds of D&D, dwarf-elves who are half drow may be more charismatic, but they also tend to be shorter and lean toward being evil far more regularly. Drow society does not accept dwarf-elves in the least, and neither would.
