Half-Elf

Overview
Half-Elves are a cross between humans and elves, so Half-Elves have a good blend of human versatility and elven sensibility and have access to both race's enhancements and racial-specific equipment. Half-Elves don't have a favored class, they can do well in any class and are also naturals at social interaction and can use social skills more often than the other races, an advantage in managing the battle and assisting their party. They may also dabble with an additional class ability using the Dilettante feat, making them even more diverse and self-sufficient.

Originally a premium race, Half-Elf was made free in Update 53.
