Half-Orc Half-Elf Traits

Your half-orc character has certain traits deriving from your orc ancestry.

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on Saving Throws against being Charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Fleet of Foot

Your base walking speed increases to 35 feet.

Mask of the Wild

You can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.

Ability Score Increase

Your Strength or constitution score increases by 1, and your dexterity or wisdom score increases by 1. This choice represents the versatility of half-breeds

Age

Half-orcs mature a little faster than humans, reaching adulthood around age 14. They age noticeably faster and rarely live longer than 75 years.

Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach Adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years.

As such a half-orc, half-elf matures a little faster than humans reaching adulthood at around age 16. But live a bit longer than humans often exceeding 110 years.

Alignment

Half-orcs inherit a tendency toward chaos from their orc parents and are not strongly inclined toward good. Half-orcs raised among orcs and willing to live out their lives among them are usually evil.

Size

Half-orcs are somewhat larger and bulkier than humans, and they range from 5 to well over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

Thanks to your 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.

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 and a language of your choice (normally orcish or elvish).

Orc is a harsh, grating language with hard consonants. It has no script of its own but is written in the Dwarvish script.

Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
