The Stone Elf
One of the strangest of the Elven races, the Stone Elf is a mystery indeed. Seemingly devoid of all emotion, who can say what drives this race? More perplexing than their history is the unique appearance of the Stone Elf. In eras past, humans often mistook the rare Stone Elf as a living statue, thanks to their marble-like skin. Magic is thought to be the reason for the radical difference between this race and its cousins.

Make-Up Requirements
Stone Elves appear to be made of marble. Therefore, the Player must wear white make-up with black or gray lines on all exposed skin. Pointed ears are also required when playing this race.
Inherent Advantages
Like all Elves, Stone Elves can purchase the Resist Sleep skill and the Resist Charm Skill. This breed of Elf has developed the peculiar ability to "see" into the minds of others and sooth the trauma of sorrow and anguish. This skill, Sooth Mental Anguish, does not allow a Stone Elf to read the thoughts of others, only to remove sorrow. It is solely a role-playing skill. The extreme control or absence of their emotions allows Stone Elves to purchase the Resist Emotion skill. As with the other Elven races, Stone Elves are trained as a youth to wield the Bow, so Stone Elves deal +2 damage with bows (increasing base damage to '8 Normal').
Inherent Disadvantages
Having a typical Elven physique*, the Stone Elf suffer a -1 Starting Body Points and -5 to Maximum Body Points. For the same reason, they cannot learn the Two-Handed Blunt or Two-Handed Sword (Note: Stone Elves MAY purchase the Two-Handed Mastery skill, however, it is limited to use of Polearms and Staves). The greatest disadvantage of this race is their inability to lie. A questioned Stone Elf may choose not to answer, or be evasive, but cannot knowingly tell a lie.
*Purchasing at least +1 Strength Bonus, as a prerequisite, permits Stone Elves to purchase the Two-Handed Blunt and Two-Handed Sword, or gain the use of those weapons with Two-Handed Mastery skill. All Strength bonus rules apply. No other source of strength augmentation is suitable for this benefit.
