I have a long time character who plays a very peculiar build into Fochlucan Lyrist, and for it to work I need to be Human. In my heart, he is an Elf, and this is the alternative Elf race I have built for him.
It should be benchmarked against Human and other optimal races, not against core Elves. Let me know what you think about balance and what changes you would suggest. I included Evasion to avoid having to take the Shadow Creature template or others that would go against the concept and give me LA for abilities I do not really need or want.
---Elf
-2 Str +2 Dex
Type: Fey (Elf)
Size: Medium
Senses: Low-light Vision
Defenses: Immunity to sleep effects, +2 racial bonus to saving throws against enchantment effects, Evasion.
Feats: Able Learner, Martial Weapon Proficiency (longsword, rapier, longbow, shortbow).
Skills: An Elf who has 5 skill ranks in Spot, Listen or Search gains a +1 racial bonus in the other two skills (this bonus stacks with itself up to +2). An Elf who merely passes within 5ft of a secret or concealed door is entitled to a search check to notice it as if they were actually looking for it.
Favored Class: Any one martial or spellcasting class.
-Subraces (These ability score modifiers and traits are in addition to the ones presented above)
---Noble Elf Paragon
+2 Str -2 Dex
Defenses: Ageless (Immortal unless slain, immune to effects that alter the subject's age)
Favored Class: Any one martial class.
---Noble Elf Sage
-2 Str -2 Dex +2 Cha and +2 Int or +2 Wis
Defenses: Ageless (Immortal unless slain, immune to effects that alter the subject's age)
Favored Class: Any one spellcasting class.
Edit: some changes to ability scores and skills implemented. Namely corrected a total modifier calculation and modified the way skill bonus is accrued.
