Elf.

Ability Score Increase +2 Dexterity.
Size Medium
Speed 30ft

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 20 and can live to be 2600 years old.   Alignment. Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly towards the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and are good more often than not. Drow are an exception; their exile into the Underdark has made them vicious and dangerous. Drow are more often evil than not.   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.   Fey Ancestry. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.   Trance. Elves do not sleep, Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.   Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.   Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Elven, Anurian Elves know Qyrn instead of Common.   Dark/Drow-   Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 1.   Superior Darkvision. Your darkvision has a range of 120 feet, instead of 60.   Sunlight Sensitivity. You have disadvantage on attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight when you, the target of the attack, or whatever you are trying to perceive is in direct sunlight.   Drow Magic. You know the Dancing Lights cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Faerie Fire spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast the Darkness spell once and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells.   Drow Weapon Training. You have proficiency with rapiers, shortswords, and hand crossbows.   Eladrin- Eladrin are elves native to the Feywild, a realm of beauty, unpredictable emotion, and boundless magic. An eladrin is associated with one of the four seasons and has coloration reminiscent of that season, which can also affect the eladrin's mood.   Autumn: is the season of peace and goodwill, when summer's harvest is shared with all.   Winter: is the season of contemplation and dolor, when the vibrant energy of the world slumbers.   Spring: is the season of cheerfulness and celebration, marked by merriment as winter's sorrow passes.   Summer: is the season of boldness and aggression, a time of unfettered energy. Some eladrin remain associated with a particular season for their entire lives, whereas other eladrin transform, adopting characteristics of a new season.   When finishing a long rest, any eladrin can change their season. An eladrin might choose the season that is present in the world or perhaps the season that most closely matches the eladrin's current emotional state. For example, an eladrin might shift to autumn if filled with contentment, another eladrin could change to winter if plunged into sorrow, still another might be bursting with joy and become an eladrin of spring, and fury might cause an eladrin to change to summer. The following tables offer personality suggestions for eladrin of each season. You can roll on the tables or use them as inspiration for characteristics of your own.   Autumn Eladrin Traits   If someone is in need, you never withhold aid.   You share what you have, with little regard to your own needs.   There are no simple meals, only lavish feasts.   You stock up on fine food and drink. You hate going without such comforts.   Autumn Eladrin Flaws   You trust Others without Thought   You help others to the point where you leave yourself without necessary supplies   Everyone is your friend or a potential friend   You spend excessively on creature comfort   Winter   Winter Eladrin Traits   The Worst-Case Is most likely to occur   You preserve what you have. Better to be hungry today and have food for tomorrow.   Life is full of dangers, but you are ready for them.   A penny spent is a penny lost forever.   Winter Eladrin Flaws   Everything dies eventually. Why bother building anything that is supposedly meant to last?   Nothing matters to you, and you allow others to guide your actions.   Your needs come first. In winter, all must watch out for themselves.   You speak only to point out the flaws in others’ plans.   Spring Eladrin Traits   Every day is the greatest day of your life.   You do everything with enthusiasm, even the most mundane chores.   You love music and songs. You supply a tune yourself if no one else can.   You can’t stay still.   Spring Eladrin Flaws   You overdrink.   Toil is for drudges. Yours should be a life of leisure.   A pretty face infatuates you in an instant, but your fancy passes with equal speed.   Anything worth doing is worth doing again and again.   Summer Eladrin Traits   You believe that direct confrontation is the best way to solve problems.   Overwhelming force can solve almost anything. The tougher the problem, the more force you apply.   You stand tall and strong so that others can lean on you.   You maintain an intimidating front. Better to prevent fights with a show of force than to harm others.   Summer Eladrin Flaws   You are stubborn. Let others change.   The best option is one that is swift, unexpected, and overwhelming.   Punch first. Talk later.   Your fury can carry you through anything.   Ability Score Increase.
