Elf (High)
Basic Information
Anatomy
Fey Ancestry.
High Elves have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can't put them 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, they can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, they gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.
High Elves have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow. Cantrip.
High Elves know one cantrip from the wizard spell list. Intelligence is their spellcasting ability for it. Extra Language.
High Elves can speak, read, and write one extra language of your choosing.
