Half Elf

While most believe half-elves of today are far more man than elf, none can deny that they exhibit traits emergent from their elven ancestry. Some half-elves have found their place as royalty, some as simple farmers. They do, however, tend to take great pride in their Elven blood.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2, and two other ability scores of your choice each increase by 1.
