Your hob-elf character has the following traits and abilities.

Ability Score Increase. Hob-elves are very durable and resilient creatures due to being forced to survive on their own. Your Constitution score increases by 1.

Age. Hob-elves mature at the same rate as humans do and reach adulthood at age 20. They live longer than humans though, and often exceed 180 years of age.

Alignment. Hob-elves are extremely rare, and during their childhood they are often shunned by both parents. This leaves many hob-elves fending for themselves, and have a tendency to be chaotic, though no sway in good nor evil.

Size. Hob-elves are medium creatures ranging in height from 5 to 6 feet, and weigh anywhere from 150 to 200 pounds.

Darkvision. Both a hob-elves' elf and hobgoblin blood gift them with superior vision in darkness. You can see in dim light within 60 ft. of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern colour in darkness, only shades of gray

Saving Face. Hob-elves tend to feel a need to prove themselves, and are careful to never show weakness to others. If you miss with an attack roll or fail an ability check or a saving throw, you can gain a bonus to the roll equal to the number of allies you can see within 30 feet of you (maximum bonus of +5). Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.

Languages. You can speak, read, and right Common and either Goblin or Elvish.

Subrace. A hob-elf is further defined by their heritage, or which parent they take after more. There are three options, Hobgoblin Heritage, Elvish Heritage, or Indeterminate Heritage, for if your hob-elf favours neither parent. Choose one subrace and add the additional benefits to your character.
