Feat & Skill Racial Traits

Mask of the Wild
Wood elves gain a +2 racial bonus on Stealth checks while in foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, or other natural phenomena, and Stealth is always considered a class skill for them.
Sensory Racial Traits
Low-Light Vision
Wood elves can see twice as far as humans in conditions of dim light.
Other Racial Traits
Savor the Memory
Wood elves have the unique ability to gain insight into the life of others through consumption. Once per hour, when a wood elf consumes at least one mouthful of raw or freshly killed flesh (within 1 hour of death), they receive a single vivid memory from the deceased creature’s life. This memory is chosen by the GM and may reveal insight such as a formative experience, recent strong emotion, or sensory recollection. The wood elf gains a +2 insight bonus on a single Knowledge or Sense Motive check relating to the creature's background, behavior, or culture, usable within 24 hours. Flesh that has begun to rot (typically after 1 hour or sooner in extreme heat) no longer imparts memory and provides no bonuses to any skill checks. If the wood elf tastes the living flesh or bodily essence of a sentient creature (via a kiss, blood from a wound, sweat, etc), they instead receive a dim emotion—feelings tied to a memory, without clear visuals. Using this ability in this way provides no bonuses to any skill checks. This ability is supernatural and does not function if the wood elf is suffering from effects that block mental connections or sensory magic.
Alternate Racial Traits
Replaces Mask of the Wild
Deeproot Scholar
You gain a +2 racial bonus on Knowledge (Nature) and Knowledge (History) checks. One of these skills is always a class skill for you. This racial trait replaces Mask of the Wild.

The following options are available to all wood elves who have the listed favored class.
