■ Low Light Vision (+1): Half-elves ignore penalties for Dim and Dark
Illumination (but not Pitch Darkness).
■ Skilled (+1): Sharing the ingenuity of their human relatives as well as having
slightly longer life spans, half-elves start with a d4 in any skill based on their
experiences, education, training, or culture. If the chosen skill is a core skill, it
starts at d6 and the skill’s maximum increases to d12+1.

their sleep.
 ■ Dual Mind (+2): Because of the guidance from the quori spirit with which they
are bonded, Kalashtar can reroll opposed Psionics rolls.

■ Naturally Psionic (+3): Kalashtar have the Arcane Background (Psion or
Soulknife) Edge with mind link as one of their starting powers. They also start
with a d6 in Psionics.
■ Outsider (−1): If identified as kalashtar, they subtract 1 from their Persuasion
roll as they seem to have alien dispositions with which most do not feel
comfortable.

■ Keen Senses (+1): Shifters begin with a d6 Notice skill. The skill’s maximum
increases to d12+1.
■ Low Light Vision (+1): Shifters ignore penalties for Dim and Dark
Illumination (but not Pitch Darkness).

At character creation, the player chooses a shifter ability from the list below.
Shifting is a limited free action and lasts up to 5 rounds plus 1 round for each
Shifter Edge they have. The shifter can shift back to his normal form at any time
before then. While in this animal-like form, the shifter can ignore 1 Wound
penalty. When the shifting ends, the shifter takes a level of Fatigue. This level of
Fatigue can only be removed after 4 hours of abstaining from shifting.

◻ Cliffwalk: The limbs, hands, and feet of cliffwalk shifters become
stronger. They gain the Free Runner Edge.
◻ Longstride: The legs of longstride shifters elongate, and longstride
shifters balance on the balls of their feet. They gain the Fleet-Footed Edge.
◻ Longtooth: The face of a longtooth shifter distorts, growing a canine
muzzle full of sharp teeth that cause Str+d6 damage (see Natural
Weapons in Savage Worlds).
◻ Razorclaw: The claws on the hands of razorclaw shifters grow and can be
used to make attacks dealing Str+d4 damage (see Natural Weapons in
Savage Worlds).
 ◻ Wildhunt: Wildhunt shifters’ sense of smell becomes more sensitive,
granting them the Alertness Edge.

with the Repair skill or the repairing power. (−1)
■ Outsider (−2): Warforged have the Outsider (Major) Hindrance. With a long
history of being dedicated soldiers of war, warforged have difficulty blending into
post-war Khorvaire. Most non-warforged strongly dislike the sight of warforged
as they stand as living reminders of the horror that was the Last War. As such,
warforged have −2 to Persuasion rolls when interacting with non-warforged and
are often treated as less than human.
■ Steel Fists (+1): Warforged may attack with their fists as natural weapons that
deal Str+d4 damage.
