Dark Elf

Dark Elves, also known as Duredhel (Singular) or Duredhil (Plural), are a more notable kind of elf. Commonly called “Drow,” they have darker skin and silver hair. They come from a matriarchal society, and females of the race have a natural disdain towards any male. This ethnicity of elves also tends to act nocturnally, and are even found living in underground societies more commonly than their other counterparts.

Traits of a Dark Elf

As an Elf, they have the following traits:

Elves are Average or Medium-sized creatures.

Elves have a movement speed of 30ft.

Elves maintain roundabout the same qualities as humans, even though they weigh less.

Elves are immune to the sleep spell, and have advantage on saving throws against charms (5e Ruleset).

Elves have a +2 to resistance on enchantments, and are immune to the sleep spell (3.5e Ruleset).

Dark Elves are unable to use the trance meditation to rest should they wish to operate during the day. Instead, they must rest the full 8 hours to be fully rested during a long rest.

Elves have shown a distinct immunity to magical sleep spells and other stimuli. This is probably due to their mental training and trances.

Elves have Darkvision, which is superior vision in dark and dim conditions. A Dark Elf can see in dim light within 120 feet of them as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. Additionally, elves are able to discern color in darkness through their darkvision.

Elves are capable of seeing twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. Unlike dwarves, they can still see colors and details with this keen eyesight.

Elves are proficient with Shortswords, Rapiers, and Firearms.

Elves have access to training and exposure with longswords, rapiers, longbows, shortbows, and firearms. In doing so, it isn’t hard for an elf to learn how to use these by the time they become adventurers.

Elves are capable of discovering nearby secret passages.

Elves are so observant of their surroundings that if they pass by a secret passage, they have a chance of stumbling upon that passage. It really depends on whether or not they are willing to undergo that venture into the unknown.

Dark Elves are able to speak, read and write Undercommon as well as the usual Common Tongue and Elvish. Additionaly, dark elves are able to choose between the following languages: Abyssal, Aquan, Draconic, Drow Sign Language, Gnome, Goblin, and Kuo-Toan.

Elves are capable of integrating themselves amongst different people, and thus able to learn different languages.

Additionally, Dark Elves have the following traits:

Dark Elves have a +2 to Dexterity, and a -2 to Wisdom.

Dark Elves, or drow, are as agile as ever. This means that drow have the same dextrous nature as most elves, however they suffer in decision-making due to their brash behavior. Being exposed to the constant changes of the sea, and the dangers of their hideouts in caves, this makes drow hardier than the typical elf.
