You hare a mixture of human and elf. You see twice as far in the dark as a human. You gain a +2 to saves against ghoul paralysis. You may reach 9th level as a fighter, thief, or assassin, 7th level as a magic-user, or 4th level as a cleric. You may also multiclass as a fighter/magic-user, fighter/thief, magic-user/cleric, or fighter/magic-user/cleric. Multiclass magic users have the same restrictions as elf magic users.
