Homebrew Elf-Orc Species Details
Born of the rare paring of an Elf and an Orc, Elf-orcs bare traits from both parentage, but often lean more toward one or the other.
Elf-Orc Traits
Your Elf-Orc character bares traits of both elves and orcs.Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity and Strength score increases by 1, and two other ability scores of your choice increase by 1.
Age
While Orcs live very short lives, Elves are much longer lived. Thus, while your Elf-Orc character may not have the expectancy of an elf, they still live on average of 400 years.
Alignment
Elves and orcs have a strong bend toward Chaotic alignments, and Elf-Orcs doubly so.
Size
Elf-Orcs can resemble either their elven or orcish parent in size and stature, and can be anywhere from under 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium regardless.
Skill Prociency
Elf-Orcs lean toward either Elf or Orc as they grow up. Choose between Keen Senses or Menacing.
Keen Senses:
You have prociency in the Perception skill.
Menacing:
You have prociency in the Intimidation skill.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
Thanks to your elf and orc blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Elven Parent
Fey Ancestry:
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Trance:
Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Orcish Parent
Elf-Orcs inherit traits from both of their parents, but not everything gets passed down. Choose between Relentless Endurance or Savage Attacks.
Relentless Endurance:
When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Savage Attacks:
When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon’s damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Orc.
