Homebrew Elf-Human Species Details

Elf-Humans have mixed Elven and Human parentage. They can be born from two Elf-Humans, an Elf and a Human, or an Elf-Human and Human or Elf-Human and Elf (and so on). They can of course possess the heritages of Drow, High Elves, Wood-Elves, or any other Elven subspecies imaginable. Their Elven heritage can manifest in a myriad of ways. They may live long lifespans, ranging from 200 years to, very rarely, immortal. They may possess massive affinities for magic, and so on. Elf-Humans are longevous, adaptable, beautiful, diverse, and possess rich cultural roots.

Editor's Note: The Half-Elf race as it stood in the past had racist and problematic undertones that the folks behind D&D sought to eliminate from their IP. This homebrew is my take on rules for a specific Elf-Human Lineage. It is understood by me that not all half-elves are half-humans, and I want to put this out here as an option for a mixed-race Lineage.
