Homebrew Elf-Orc Species Details

So, basically, you're a Half-and-Half.

Wherever I may roam

Walking in two worlds but truly belonging to neither, the elf-orcs find it difficult to get acceptance among either society. While open minded individuals may have a welcoming approach to this mixed race, traditionalists will shun it. Those devoted to Gruumsh or Corellon will most likely see elf-orcs as abominations. Dwarves might also look unfavorably upon them. This is why elf-orcs will either live in multicultural settlements or outside of society altogether. The absence of a home may inspire their wanderlust, driving them towards a life of adventure.

Beauty and Strength

The elven heritage is mostly visible in the elf-orcs eyes and ears, however, the jutting jaw and prominent teeth stand as a reminder of their orcish bloodlines. Muscular, but not bulky, elf-orcs stand between 5 and 7 feet tall and usually weigh between 150 and 220 pounds.

Depending on their heritage, their skin color varies from the dark tones of the drow, to aquatic blue and green, tan, copper and the orcish gray. They tend to have the eyes of their elven parents.

Elf-Orc Traits

Your elf-orc character has some qualities in common with elves and some that are deriving from your orc ancestry. Feats and items that have the orc or elf prerequisites are available to you.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

Age

Elf-orcs mature faster than humans, reaching adulthood around age 14. Their lifespan can extend up to 200 years.

Size

Elf-orcs are athletic and they range from 5 to well over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision

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.

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

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.
