Character Building Tips
Charisma-focused Half-Elf shines as a face character or spontaneous caster. Bards and Warlocks maximize spell power. Paladins gain better auras and saves.
With darkvision, this species excels in dungeon delving and night missions. Consider classes that benefit from scouting ahead: Rogue, Ranger, or Druid.
Fey ancestry provides charm immunity and advantage - excellent for social builds or characters who will face many enchantment spells.
