Elves and Half Elves

[poundpuppy30]

I've a question. Do half elves get the same immunity to paralysis that elves get? I'm trying to understand if they do or don't enjoy the same immunities that elves have from paralysis so if you know what rule this falls in please link it?

[poundpuppy30]

Would racial heritage elf give that immunity to a human with that feat also?

[blackbloodtroll]

Half-Elves only get what is listed in their entry.

As per FAQ, Half-Elves cannot take Human, or Elf feats, or archetypes.

[poundpuppy30]

So why do elves get immune to paralysis on some monsters and half elves dont? Neither has it listed in core book under immunities.

[Speaker for the Dead]

Because they're only half an elf.

[blackbloodtroll]

They don't have immunity to paralysis, of any kind.

The Ghoul, which you are likely referring to, simply has a paralysis effect that does not effect some creatures.

That's something different.

[Crash_00]

Half Elves do count as Elves for the purpose of an effect that specifically targets Elves. So, for a Ghoul's paralysis, the Half Elves would be immune.

The books spell this out pretty blatantly (example using Ghoul paralysis):

Quote:

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

Special Attacks paralysis (1d4+1 rounds, DC 13, elves are immune to this effect)
