Accomplished with both spell and blade, elves move through the world at a pace removed from that of shorter-lived races. The elf race is storied beyond telling and peopled by illustrious heroes beyond counting. As mighty as the elf race can be, it is not often that elves turn to warfare or combat, preferring instead the paths of poetry, dance, song, and lore. With their long life spans and many talents, elves excel in numerous areas and classes, but a few exemplify to an even greater degree the complex and powerful nature of their race.

Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
An Elf Paragon is proficient with Basic weapons and Elf Weapons (see Martial Focus below). They are proficient with light armor but not with shields.
If not using weapon groups, an Elf Paragon is proficient with simple weapons.
Spellcasting
At 2nd and 3rd level, an elf paragon progresses her druid or ranger spellcasting as if she had also gained a level in that class.
If an elf paragon has no levels in druid or ranger, this class feature has no effect at 1st or 2nd level. However, at 3rd level, she gains the ability to access and cast orisons as a 1st-level Spiritualist Druid. She does not gain access to higher level druid spells.
Elfsight
An elf paragon has exceptional visual acuity. Her racial bonus on Perception checks increases to +4. In addition, an elf paragon’s low-light vision increases in range, allowing her to see three times as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination.
Feytouched
An elf paragon gains the Intermediate Bloodline feat as a bonus feat which applies to her Fey Bloodline. A character who already possesses Intermediate Bloodline for their fey bloodline instead gains one bloodline level at no cost, which can exceed the normal maximum based on her Hit Dice.
A character who does not posses the Fey Bloodline instead gains the Fey Heritage feat.
Martial Focus
At 2nd level, an elf paragon gains Weapon Focus (Elf Weapons) as a bonus feat. This applies to all weapons listed as part of the elf paragon’s Martial Training ability, normally the rapier, longsword, shortbow, and longbow. If the elf paragon already possesses this feat, he gains Weapon Specialization with one of those four weapons instead, even if he doesn’t meet the prerequisites.
Ability Boost
At 3rd level, an elf paragon’s Wisdom score increases by 2 points.
