Half Elves are typically the product of
a Human and an Elf (but not always). Half
Elves typically favor one parentage over
the other, but generally benefit from the
enhanced senses of Elvenkind, while enjoy
greater physical strength and durability
from their human (or other) parentage. Their
life spans are typically doubled or tripled
compared to those of normal humans, but
are still brief by the estimation of most
elves. |
|
Half Elves in some cultures suffer some
discrimination, but are treasured in other
cultures. Further, some Half Elves are raised
by one parent or the other, and some others
have experience in both environments. Due
to their high degree of variation from one
another, each Half Elf should be personalized
as befits their background. |

| Masters of
derring do, a true Swashbuckler knows that its not what you do -- its how
you do it that counts. Most typically a melange of Fighter-Rogues,
Swashbucklers favor wit, panache, personal style, and savoir faire in all
their dealings, and try to never take anything to seriously, except for
their reputations and challenges to their person. |
|
Swashbucklers are competitive to a fault and tend to like making other less
individualistic warriors out to be clods. Swashbucklers are one of the most
fun archetypes to play, as they have a certain zest for life and
devil-may-care attitude that can be very enjoyable to portray. |

As the name would indicate Light Foot typically fight on foot. They generally wear
lighter armor and wield lighter weapons.
|
|
Light Foot concentrate on speed, manueverability, skill, and technique over brute
force and strength. Reflexes and adroitness are their bread and butter, and they
often make use of easily carried thrown weapons which they can hurl at an opponent.
|
|
Adept skirmishers, Light Foot are much more dangerous than their lightly armored
fast moving nature would suggest, and what they lack in striking power they make
up for with accuracy and finesse.
