|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.
|sizedesc=Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds.
|size={{SRD5|Medium}}<!-- size category of the race, like "Medium" -->
|speed=30<!-- base speed of the race, as a number like "30" -->

|additionalspeeds=<!-- any additional movement types that the race has -->
|darkvisionfluff=Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions.
|darkvisiondist=60<!-- blank=30 feet; or distance of darvision -->
|darkvisioncolor=<!-- blank=gray; or color of darkvision -->
|trait1name=Keen Senses
|trait1desc=You have {{srd5lc|Proficiency}} in the {{SRD5|Perception}} skill.

|trait2name=Fey Ancestry
|trait2desc=You have {{srd5lc|Advantage}} on {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}s against being {{srd5lc|Charmed}}, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

|trait3name=Trance
|trait3desc=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.

|languages={{SRD5|Common}} and {{SRD5|Elvish}}
|languagedesc=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.
