{"name":"Elf, Drow","overview":"Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living\u00a0in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in\u00a0places of ethereal beauty, in the midst of ancient forests\u00a0or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where\u00a0soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances\u00a0waft on the breeze. Elves love nature and magic, art\u00a0and artistry, music and poetry, and the good things\u00a0of the world.\r\n\r\nDescended from an earlier subrace of elves, the drow\u00a0were banished from the surface world for following the\u00a0goddess Lolth down the path of evil. Now they have built\u00a0their own civilization in the depths of the Underdark,\u00a0patterned after the Way of Lolth. Also called dark\u00a0elves, the drow have skin that resembles charcoal orobsidian, as well as stark white or pale yellow hair. They\u00a0commonly have very pale eyes (so pale as to be mistaken\u00a0for white) in shades of lilac, silver, pink, red, and blue.\r\n\r\nThey tend to be smaller and thinner than most elves.\u00a0Drow adventurers are rare.","image_id":"","ability_score_increase":"Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Charisma score increases by l.","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 selfexpression, 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. The drow are an exception; their exile into the Underdark has made them vicious and dangerous. Drow are more often evil than not.","size":"Medium","speed":"Your base walking speed is 30 feet.","languages":"You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish 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 Elvish ballads to their repertoires.","parent_race":"","sub_races":"","race_features":"[b]Superior Darkvision.[\/b] Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions.\u00a0You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it\u00a0were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light.\u00a0You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.\r\n\r\n[b]Keen Senses.[\/b] You have proficiency in the\u00a0Perception skill.\r\n\r\n[b]Fey Ancestry.[\/b]\u00a0You have advantage on saving throws\u00a0against being charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.\r\n\r\n[b]Trance.[\/b] Elves don't need to sleep.
