Wood Elf

Wood elves, also known as Gladedhel (Singular) or Gladedhil (Plural), are tribal elves that have “all of Autumn in their hair.” Typically hardier than most elves, these elves are akin to nature’s caretakers. Due to their lifestyle, they are one of the more physically stronger ethnicities, and have a much deeper respect for the natural ways of the environment and both the floral and animal denizens.

Traits of a Wood Elf

As an Elf, they have the following traits:

Elves are Average or Medium-sized creatures.

Wood Elves have a movement speed of 35ft.

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).

Elves do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.

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. An elf can see in dim light within 60 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 Longswords, Rapiers, Longbows, Shortbows 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.

Elves are able to speak, read and write both the Common Tongue and Elvish. Additionaly, elves are able to choose between the following languages: Draconic, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, Orc, and Sylvan.

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

Additionally, Wood Elves possess the following traits:

Wood Elves gain a +2 to Strength, and a -2 to Intelligence.

Wood Elves have proficiency with the Perception Skill (5e Ruleset).

Wood Elves have a +2 with the Listening, Spotting and Searching skillsets (3.5e Ruleset).

Compared to their High Elf counterparts, Wood Elves are nothing like them. Wood elves seem to be extraordinarily strong, however, they are more instinctual than tactical. This would imply they aren’t the most reliable at planning things out.
