Valaeri Elf
Race: Elf
Ethnicity: Valaeri (val-LAIR-ee)
Physical Description: A 2.5 to 3.0 feet tall race of winged elves
Background: They are a reclusive and peaceful race that avoids most communication and involvement with others. Merchant ships from the Valmyrrian Empire occasionally trade with them while other races rarely ever have contact with them. Little affected by the Great Cataclysm, they live their lives much as they have for the past several thousand years. Possessing the ability to fly, they prefer to dwell in small, scattered villages on steep hills, mountaintops, and in the branches of ancient Valorn trees. They are renowned for their knowledge of air magic which they use to great effect when needing to repel undesirables from their homeland. Often called faerie elves, the Valaeri are the most connected of the elven races to the fae.

Generic Character Creation Guidelines:
Ability Score Racial Traits: They tend to be more intelligent, dexterous, and charismatic than humans. However, with their more delicate body structure, needed for flying, leads to them being weaker and less hardy.
Size: Being a small sized creature, they are more difficult to strike in battle, while increasing their stealth while giving them a bonus to strike other creatures.
Base Speed: They have a land speed of 20 feet and flying speed of 50 feet. Wearing armor heavier than studded leather will reduce their flying speed.
Languages: They begin play speaking Common and the Valaeran dialect of the elvish language. Valaeri with high Intelligence scores can choose additional languages.
Feat and Skill Racial Traits: They are immune to magic sleep effects and gain a bonus against enchantment spells and effects. They have keen senses that give them better perception than humans. All Valaeri know how to fly. They receive a bonus to overcome spell resistance when casting spells against opponents. They are very knowledgeable when attempting to identify the properties of magic items. They are proficient with longbows (including composite longbows), rapiers, and shortbows (including composite shortbows), and treat any weapon with the word “elven” in its name as a martial weapon. They can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light. They can see object clearly at twice the normal range.
