Ancestral Options: Half-Elves
![]() |
The Best of Both Worlds! In the Pathfinder Second Edition roleplaying game¸ a character's ancestry matters more than ever before. Instead of picking a race and sticking with it¸ players are encouraged to customize the benefits a character gains from their lineage¸ with a wide assortment of ancestry feats gained at various levels. While the Pathfinder Second Edition Core Rulebook presents plenty of great options for each of these ancestries¸ the focus on customization means that there's always room for new and exciting ways to bring your ancestry to the fore. This book focuses on providing new ancestry-related options for half-elf characters. Often seen as tragic figures¸ half-elves fall somewhere between the grace and beauty of their elven ancestors¸ and the ingenuity and adaptability of their human forebears. Though many believe that half-elves don't truly fit in with either race¸ it's not uncommon for half-elves to thrive precisely because of their position between two worlds. In this book¸ you'll find: 5 new half-elf heritages¸ including Deep Half-Elf and Brooding Half-Elf. 12 new ancestry feats for half-elves¸ ranging from 1st through 13th level¸ including Misfit¸ Cunning Charm¸ and Zen Improvisation. A new archetype for half-elf characters¸ the charming drifter¸ for half-elves devoted to a life apart¸ able to use their charm and beauty to get what they want¸ and then set off for their next adventure without looking back.
