Race Bonuses and What they mean?

azsh1 · January 2013

Hi all,

This may have been discussed before sorry if so but here we go. So I understand the +2 Charisma and +2 Dexterity ideas but what do the other bonuses equate to? List below

Human Versatile Defense=???
Half Elf Dual Heritage=???
Elf Elven Accuracy=???
Drow Trance=???
Teifling Blood Hunt=???
Dwarf still unknown
Halfling still unknown

Anyhow I know it has probably been explained somewhere but I cant seem to find the link so if you would enlighten me!

Thanks,

Azsh

These bonuses have not been revealed, yet (afaik).

If you want, i could tell you what these things mean in the pnp edition ^^

So I found what a couple of them mean as follows:

Elven Accuracy= +5% Damage to Critical Hit
Trance= Regeneration Increase @ Campfires
Blood Hunt= Increase in Damage for Short Duration After Critical Hit

The others still evade me though so if you could let me know what the PnP Edition means.

Thanks,

Azsh

I believe that in PnP the Half-elf Dual Heritage means that they can count as both a human and an elf for anything with a racial prerquisite.

Human VD: not in the game

Half Elf Dual Heritage= You can take feats that have either elf or human as a prerequisite (as well as those specifically for half-elves), as long as you meet any other requirements.

Elf Elven Accuracy= Reroll the attack roll. Use the second roll, even if it’s lower. (i guess that the +5% crit is similar)

Drow Trance= Rather than sleep, drow enter a meditative state known as trance. You need to spend 4 hours in this state to gain the same benefits other races gain from taking a 6-hour extended rest. While in a trance, you are fully aware of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies and other events as normal.
Not wholly viable in the game, though.

Teifling Blood Hunt= Bloodhunt: You gain a +1 racial bonus to attack rolls against bloodied enemies.
I guess it will be changed into bonus damage

Dwarf Dwarven Resilience = use your second wind as minor action... i don't really know how it will be brought into the game

Halfling Second Chance = when you are hit by an attack, the attacker must reroll the attack and use the second roll, even if it is lower. This will be, probably, changed into a generic defense bonus.

Thanks for the info Denka. At least it gives me a clearer picture of what they may ultimately be. Maybe the devs will get us some more info as CB goes on?

Hopefully. Their main concern, thought, should be giving ME a long and exhaustive devoted cleric video :P

Anyway, i didn't notice you found drow racial. That seems quite nice.

Consider most of them giving an attack and/or defense bonus. Some may or may not be conditional and are likely to be more if so. That's as far as the NDA will let me. I'm sure you;ll learn more come this weekend.

I hope to play the next one and see the bonuses for each race.

I don't think they're officially released yet.

Not sure they will be the same thing in this game

They are not, mostly.

Give this a look. I haven't listed the names of the perks; just what they do. eg. Elven accuracy gives 1% crit.

It's from the first beta weekend.
