Half-Elf
Racial Traits
Your half-elf character has the following traits.
Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 2, and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.
Age. Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, exceeding over two centuries.
Size. Half-elves are about the same size as humans, raning from 5 to 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium. To set your height and weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:
- Size modifier = 2d8
- Height = 4 feet + 9 inches + your size modifier in inches
- Weight in pounds = 110 + (2d4 x your size modifier)
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. Thanks to your elf blood, 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.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and one extra language of your choice.
