- | |'''Primary Features:'''|| | + | |'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Varied Ancestry:</u> Due to his mixed blood, a half elf often has quite a number of interesting entries on his family tree. At 1st level, he may select any heritage feat he qualifies for and take it as a bonus feat. He gains a second bonus heritage feat at 7th level and a third one at 14th level.<br><u>Adaptable:</u> At 1st level, a half-elf chooses to take after his human heritage or his elven heritage. He gains either the Able Learner ability of the human (allowing him to only spend one skill point on cross-class skills rather than two) or the Weapon Proficiencies of the elf (granting him proficiency in rapier, longbow, shortbow, and their composite equivalents). |

- | |'''Primary Features:'''|| | + | |'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Powerful Build:</u> The physical stature of half-orcs lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever it is advantageous for him, a half-orc is considered one size category larger for the purposes of special abilities and combat maneuvers that depend on size (like Swallow Whole and determining who he can grapple) as well as checks that are subject to a size modifier (like grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts). In addition, he may use weapons designed for creatures of a size category larger without penalty, though his size and reach remain that of his actual size. This trait stacks with effects that would change his size category. |

In addition, they gain a +2 racial bonus to Intimidate checks, which increases to a +4 bonus at 5th level, +6 at 10th level, +8 at 15th level, and +10 at 20th level. | |'''Secondary Features:'''||<u>Menacing:</u> Half-orcs may use Strength in place of Charisma to determine their ability modifier to Intimidate checks.

Whenever it is advantageous for him, a kobold is considered one size category smaller for the purposes of special abilities and combat maneuvers that depend on size (like the ''mighty throw'' maneuver) as well as checks that are subject to a size modifier (like Hide checks). In addition, a kobold can also count as one size category smaller when "squeezing" through tight spaces. Finally, he may use weapons designed for creatures of a size category smaller without penalty, though his size and reach remain that of his actual size. This trait stacks with effects that would change his size category.<br><u>Trapsmith:</u> Kobolds get a +2 racial bonus to Craft (Trapmaking), Disable Device, and Search. This increases to +4 at 5th level, +6 at 10th level, +8 at 15th level, and +10 at 20th level. | ||
