High Elf Trait

High Elf Traits

High elf heroes have access to the following traits.

Signature Trait: High Elf Glamor

A magic glamor makes others perceive you as interesting and engaging, granting you an edge on Presence tests using the Flirt or Persuade skills. This glamor makes you appear and sound slightly different to each creature you meet, since what is engaging to one might be different for another. However, you never appear to be anyone other than yourself.

Purchased High Elf Traits

You have 3 ancestry points to spend on the following traits. (Quick Build: High Senses, Otherworldly Grace.)

Glamor of Terror

When a foe strikes, you reverse the magic of your glamor to instill fear into their heart. Whenever you take damage from a creature, you can use a triggered action to make that creature frightened of you until the end of their next turn.

Graceful Retreat

You gain a +1 bonus to the distance you can shift when you take the Disengage move action.

High Senses

Your senses are especially keen and perceptive. You gain an edge on tests made to notice threats.

Otherworldly Grace

Your elf body and mind can't be contained for long. Whenever you make a saving throw, you succeed on a roll of 5 or higher.

Revisit Memory

Accessing memories is as easy as living in the present for you. You gain an edge on tests made to recall lore.

Unstoppable Mind

Your mind allows you to maintain your focus in any situation. You can't be made dazed.
