This resulted in them retaining a fraction of their resonance to the Feywild, giving them some control over nature. [High Elves](Verum/Races/Elf/High%20Elf.md) of old believed that Wood Elves were not true elves and many times the sub cultures came to blows. It was not until the fall of the elven empire that these elves went into hiding. Some of the places they went to hide in were primal places, resulting in transformations into [[Firbolg]]._ ### As a playable race Wood Elves are a standard playable race in 5e and [Verum](Verum.md). > |<!-- -->|<!-- -->| > |---|---| > |**Ability Scores**:|- +2 DEX<br>- +1 WIS| > |**Size**|Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.| > |**Speed**|30 feet| > | **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 100 and can live to be 750 years old.| > |**Alignment**|Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not.| > |**[Darkvision](References/Terms/Vision/Darkvision.md)**|Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in [Dim Light](Dim%20Light.md) within 60 feet of you as if it were [Bright Light](Bright%20Light.md), and in darkness as if it were [Dim Light](Dim%20Light.md). You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.| > |**Keen Senses**|You have proficiency in the Perception skill.| > |**Fey Ancestry**|You have advantage on saving throws against being [charmed](Charmed%20(C).md), and magic can't put you 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, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. If you meditate during a long rest, you finish the rest after only 4 hours. You otherwise obey all the rules for a long rest; only the duration is changed.| > |**Elf Weapon Training**|You have proficiency with the longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow.| > |**Fleet of Foot**:|Your base walking speed increases to 35 feet.| > |**Emperor’s Gift**:|You gain a +2 to your initiative rolls.| > |**Mask of the Wild**:|You can attempt to [hide](References/Terms/Actions/Hide%20(C).md) even when you are only [Lightly Obscured](Lightly%20Obscured.md) by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.| > |**Languages**|You can speak, read, and write Common and Elven. Elven is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elven ballads to their repertoires.<br>You can also speak, read, and write one extra language of your choosing.| #### Player Characters - [Amaris Kingvale](https://verum.fandom.com/wiki/Amaris_Kingvale "Amaris Kingvale") - [Jeanne](https://verum.fandom.com/wiki/Jeanne "Jeanne") - [Madeleine](https://verum.fandom.com/wiki/Madeleine "Madeleine")
