Greetings everyone.
I am interested in creation a Half-elf character born from an aquatic elf. I was planning on just using the half elf template, give him the amphibous rule, aquatic sub type, 30-ft swim spd and be done with it. However adding these rules without and penalties seems abit overpowered as he is pretty much superior to normal half-elves which ever way you look at it.
Does anyone have any ideas of what I could do to help balance him out? Mabye a racial penalty to str or something?
Yeah now re-thinking it droping Multitalented and Adaptability seems the way to go.
So i'll probably end up with this.
Half-elf (Aquatic)
- +2 to One ability Score
- Medium
- Aquatic Sub-type
- Amphibious ability
- Normal speed 30ft
- Swim speed 30ft
- Low-light vision
- Elf Blood
- Elven Immunities
- Keen Senses
- Languages (Common and Elven)
(Prehaps if raised by the elven parent and not by the human parent could also have the Aquan lanquage)
