Meta:Aiuvarin

Renaming and canon changes

The Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster Project changed the primary name of half-elves to aiuvarins and changed several related canon details.

Prior to the introduction of versatile heritages in the Remaster Project, non-human half-elves did not have mechanics and were suggested in canon sources to be rare or non-existent. The article was updated with details from Player Core that reflect this possibility.

The following content was removed for being unsupported by the descriptions of aiuvarins in Player Core, whose strain between cultures results in mental stress (which is retained in the "In human society" section), but not "madness" per The Inner Sea World Guide 28:

Their dual ancestry can create a conflict within them, as their elven and human sides clash, and their elongated elven sense of time finds itself in opposition to their human impulsivity. This conflict often leads to a mental fragility that belies their outward beauty, and often ends in madness.
