Using the extended levels for demihumans and mystics (Ch. 19), elves can either gain ability in magic or fighting after level 10, but not both. At level 10, and elf is considered to be both a level 10 Fighter and level 10 Magic-user. After level 10, the elf must choose between gaining fighter levels or magic-user levels. The previous abilities (up to level 10) are retained. An elf that chooses fighting will not gain any more spells. An elf that chooses magic will forever be considered 10th level for fighting purposes:

• Continues to gains spells using the same Spells/Level chart as the Magic-user class.
• Gains 1 hp/level (as stated in the variant rules) without CON adjustments.
• Does not get any better in hit rolls.
• If weapon mastery is used, may only further weapon mastery in magic-user restricted weapons.

• Continues with hit rolls on the Attack Rolls Chart like a fighter of equal level.
• Obtains all fighter combat options (such as multiple attacks).
• Gains 2 hp/level without CON adjustments.
• Does not gain any more spells per level.
• Continues to use scrolls and magical devices as a magic-user.
