Dark Elves share a common ancestry with Elves, both hailing from a more ancient race. They appear as normal elves but with dark ebony skin and brightly colored, often luminescent eyes. Often slightly shorter than their elven cousins, they also have a more muscular build.
They are very strong, lightning-quick, and have an amazing intellect. The race is also marked by a very taciturn and suspicious nature which often leads others to believe they are unfriendly or even hostile. Dark Elves make good warriors and excellent mages but they also make talented Rogues.
Their close association with magic gives them the ability to withstand many magical attacks. Having lived for generations underground, they have developed the ability to see in the deepest darkness.
Class Recommendations: They can be suitable for pretty much any class apart from Ranger/Bard due to their low CHR potential. They are slightly fragile, due to their low END potential, but their good potential for high AGL and WIS/MR may offset this vulnerability.
