Favoured Classes: Barbarian, Ranger, Druid
Experimental: Wood Elves are not a Core Incursion race.
Wood elves are the least civilized of the elven peoples, possessed of great strength, wild cunning and an affinity for sylvan creatures of all kinds. They tend to be xenophobic and conservative, scorning the ways of humanity and blaming mankind for the travails of their race.
Wood Elves are an Elven subrace, and share all Elven traits, except as noted below.
WOOD ELVEN RACIAL SKILLS
The Wood Elf racial skills are Wilderness Lore, Climbing, Listen, Move Silently and Animal Empathy.
WOOD ELVEN RACIAL TRAITS
* Racial Attributes -- Wood Elves are stronger, swifter and hardier than their cousins, but lack the patience to take advantage of bookish learning. They live in the now and eschew the long-term perspective common to most elves. As a result, they repeat the mistakes of the past and fail to take advantage of certian opportunities.
* Racial Weapons -- Wood Elves are familiar with the use of the long bow, short bow, long sword and hand axe.
* Manifestation -- Wood Elves have lost this power. * Sylvan Affinity -- As with druids, sylvan creatures will not strike a wood elf unless he strikes them first. In addition, Wood Elves can see through dense trees and obscuring terrain.
* Starting Equipment -- Wood Elves start with a medium backpack, elven waybread, a bow, a long sword or a handaxe, and torches. Starting weapons and armour are assumed to be of Elven make and thus light, fast and less restrictive than the norm. Starting wooden items are instead made out of deep-forest darkwood, and are thus twice as strong.
