You were adopted by a family of elves. As such, you struggled to fit in, much like the story of the Ugly Duckling.
Note, half elves and elves can not take this background.
- Skill Proficiencies: Pick two from Perception, Arcana, Nature
- Languages: Elvish
- Equipment: A hooded lantern with 5 flasks of oil, tinderbox, a fancy wooden sculpture, a set of common clothes that are just a bit too big for you, and a purse containing 20 gp
After years of being woken early by elves, you became a light sleeper. When anyone approaches within 5 ft of you and does not make a DC 15 Stealth check, you wake up. This applies even under the sleep spell or similar effects.
