Editing Half-Elf (section)

===2e===
In the change to 2nd edition AD&D, half-elves remained mostly the same as before, just with a few minor tweaks:
* Now, half-elves could become specialist wizards, when they had been denied access to the Illusionist class in 1e.
* They lost their favored classes in the [[Druid]] and [[Thief]]; ironically, half-elves now capped at as 9th level druids (compared to '''14th''' level clerics) and 12th level thieves. Instead, they gained the ability to become [[Bard]]s of any level. Their other class limits were set to Fighter 14, Mage 12, and Ranger 16.
* Finally, half-elves had a slight tweak to their innate ability to detect secret/concealed doors:
::Merely passing within 10 feet of a concealed door (one hidden by obstructing curtains. etc.) gives the half-elven character a one-in-six chance (roll a 1 on Id6) of spotting it. If the character is actively seeking to discover hidden doors, he has a one-in-three chance (roll a 1 or 2 on Id6) of spotting a secret door (one constructed to be undetectable) and a one-in-two chance (roll a 1, 2, or 3 on 1d6) of locating a concealed door.
