Homebrew Half Elf (Orc-blooded) Species Details

More slender than a full blooded orc, but bulkier than an elf, orc-bloods are the product of a union between orc and elf. These half elves are often shunned by the majority of elven society, and are identified by their small tusks, and their larger and more muscular frames. Unlike most elf blooded individuals, orc-bloods often grow full beards, and tend to have hairier bodies. Despite their orcish blood, orc-blooded half elves are still considered handsome by humans, by virtue of the elvish blood. Their skin tone can range from the greens and greys of orcs through to the more traditional elven skin tones.
