Elf

Graceful
With their unearthly grace and fine features, elves appear hauntingly beautiful to members of many other cultures. They are slightly shorter than humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet.
Elves’ coloration encompasses the normal human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, hair of green or blue, and eyes like pools of liquid gold or silver. Elves have little to no facial and little body hair. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry.

Elf Traits

Your elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of elven refinement. _{(Elf Variations info not shown)}
Ability Score Increase Your Dexterity score increases by 2.
Age Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.
Size Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Speed Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Keen Senses You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Fey Ancestry You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.
Trance Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
Languages You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
