High Half-Elf is a Subrace of Half-Elf in Baldur's Gate 3. High Half-Elf has the ability to gain gain 1 Half-Elf cantrip as a subracial bonus. While creating your Character in Baldur's Gate 3, you can choose between 11 different types of Races. Each of them has their special characteristics and some of them have Sub-Races which provide different Features and Traits.

• BG3 Full Game Note: In the full launch of Baldur's Gate 3, Ability Score Points for Races that were present in Early Access are removed. And instead, Ability Score Points in the full game correspond with the Class players will choose.
  
  

A touch of the Feywild remains in half-elves with this bloodline, and even those untrained in magic possess a hint of wild power.
