Additional Rulebook Notes
Only humans have the genetic similarity to other races that produces half breeds — there is no half Orc/half Elf, half Elf/half Dwarf, or similarly mixed lineage. Half Elves are the sole half breed that does not live as long as a human: about 1,000 years, aging as humans do to about eighteen, then physically aging roughly one year for every ten years of life thereafter.
