<strong>Half</strong>-<strong>Elves</strong><br />

Like humans, half-elves are a flexible race, fully able to<br />

adapt to new environments with ease. They often change<br />

occupations frequently, switching from one class to another<br />

with little concern as they progress. This section expands the<br />

feat choices available to half-elf characters, building on their<br />

natural talent for excelling in multiple areas of expertise.<br />

New Feats<br />

In addition to the feats presented here, many of the feats<br />

described in Chapter One: Humans and in Chapter Three:<br />

<strong>Elves</strong> are equally suitable for half-elves.<br />

Ammunition Threat [General]<br />

You can threaten an area when wielding a loaded crossbow.<br />

Prerequisite: Base attack bonus +2.<br />

Part III: Supplemental Rules<br />

Benefit: When wielding any kind of loaded crossbow, you<br />

threaten adjacent spaces as if you were armed with a melee<br />

weapon. When you have the chance to make an attack of<br />

opportunity, you may do so with your crossbow, albeit at a<br />

–4 penalty on the attack roll. On a successful hit, you deal<br />

1d4 points of damage with a ×2 critical multiplier.<br />

Normal: You can use an arrow or a bolt as a melee weapon,<br />

but you do not threaten adjacent spaces when wielding a<br />

ranged weapon.<br />

Special: A fighter may select Ammunition Threat as one of<br />

his fighter bonus feats.<br />

Artiste [General]<br />

You are a skilled performer, capable of working the crowds<br />

for your material gain.<br />

Benefit: You gain a +1 bonus on all Bluff, Diplomacy, and<br />

Perform checks. In addition, when making a Perform check,<br />

you may roll two dice and take the better result.<br />

Blood of <strong>Elves</strong> [General]<br />

You gain the full benefits of your elven heritage.<br />

Prerequisite: <strong>Half</strong>-elf.<br />

Benefit: Your racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot<br />

checks increases to +2. In addition, merely passing within<br />

5 feet of a secret or concealed door entitles you to a Search<br />

check to notice it as if you were actively looking for it.<br />

Normal: <strong>Half</strong>-elves have a +1 racial bonus on Listen,<br />

Search, and Spot checks, and do not get a chance to<br />

automatically notice secret or concealed doors.<br />

Bull Rush Strike [General]<br />

You gain an extra attack against a foe you bull rush.<br />

Prerequisites: Str 13, Improved Bull Rush, Power Attack.<br />

Benefit: Whenever you successfully bull rush an opponent,<br />

you immediately get a single free attack at your highest<br />

attack bonus.<br />

Special: A fighter may select Bull Rush Strike as one of his<br />

fighter bonus feats.<br />

Cast on the Run [General]<br />

You are trained to cast spells as you move.<br />

Prerequisites: Dex 13, Con 13, Concentration 5 ranks,<br />

Dodge, Mobility.<br />

Benefit: When casting a spell with a casting time of one<br />

standard action or less, you may move both before and after<br />

you cast the spell, provided the total distance moved is no<br />

greater than your speed. When you cast the spell, you must<br />

succeed on a Concentration check (DC 15 + spell level). On<br />

a failed check, the spell is wasted.<br />

Cloak and Dagger Fighting [General]<br />

You incorporate your cloak into your fighting style, masking<br />

your maneuvers and blocking your enemies’ attacks.<br />

Prerequisites: Dex 17, Improved Feint, Two-Weapon<br />

Defense, base attack bonus +9.
