| Oct 15, 2020 at 10:38 | comment | added | Eddymage | @BBeast Yep, that's true, but it depends on so many factors: if the NPC knows the other elements of the party, if the party is compound only by elves or half-elves.. I had the same exact situation of the OP in my campaign, but all the people in the party who were known by the NPC where elves (3 out of 6!). | |
