+2 racial bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot checks.

A Moon Elf's senses are so keen that she practically has a sixth sense about hidden portals.

Vampiric Hand: Moon Elves have a magical affinity for Moonlight that gives them an unusual edge in fighting foes; this ability has no effect vs. undead. During the full moon phase (x2 per day) a Moon Elf accesses the vampiric hand ability. You must succeed on a melee touch attack. Your touch deals and additional 1d4 points of damage and you gain temporary hit points equal to the total damage you deal. However, you can’t gain more than the subject’s current hit points +10. The temporary hit points disappear 1 hour later. Vampiric Hand is a supernatural ability.

Elven Trance: As with all elves, Moon Elves do not sleep like members of the other common races do. Instead, they meditate in a deep trance for 4 hours a day. An elf resting in this fashion gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. While meditating, an elf dreams, though these dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. The Common word for an elf’s meditation is “trance,” as in “four hours of trance.”

Automatic Languages: Low-Elven, High-Elven and Merchant's Tongue. Bonus Languages: Undercommon, Clestial and Sylvan.

Favored Class Sorcerer. A multiclass Moon Elf's sorcerer class does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty for multiclassing.
