= Goblins (Half-Elves) =

Goblins are the offspring of Humans and Elves. They are usually misshapen and ill-favored, and generally hunched and small. Most Goblins are afflicted with a variety of health problems, and few live past adolesence. Most are also prone to dementia or other mental problems. 

A small minority of Goblins are more capable, actually appearing something like a Human/Elf hybrid, and behaving much the same. There are persistant rumors of Goblins able to ingest Passion with much the same result as Humans, but there is as-of-yet no proof that such a being exists. Goblins are usually able to benefit to a certain extent from Elvish drugs, though sometimes they have strange reactions to them.

<i>Pseudo-game rules:  Goblins are extremely variable in nature.  The vast majority take penalties to all stats, often severe ones.  The more fortunate can use human-level stats, elf-like ones, or some meld between the two.  In general, goblins should never get more of a bonus to any stat than the higher of a human's or elf's bonus to those stats, and can always justify any penalty to any stat.  Most, but not quite all, goblins will have some measure of the elvish vulnerability to mind control or persuasion originating from another elf.

All known goblins are sterile, and get at most the same benefit from Passion that elves do, not humans.  Any goblin that did not show these traits would be of significant interest to a lot of elves (even moreso if it shows the vulnerability to persuasion)</i>
