High Elf

Proud elves, who can cast spells as well as they can fight with the sword.

High Elf is a Species in Dungeon Crawl.

High elves are a branch of elf that has a particular affinity for magic and blades. They enjoy a bonus to aptitude in all schools of magic except Necromancy, Earth and Poison.

The most straightforward way to play a High Elf is either as a ranged character (taking advantage of a +3 to bow skill) or a mage, and then picking up long blades or some other weapon as a backup. A High Elf without a ranged option will often struggle to survive, given the slow leveling (slowing benefits from Fighting) and naturally lower HP pools.
