Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.

You can speak, read, and write Common, Elvish, and Sylvan.

Darklings mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 300 years.

Darklings are about the same size as dwarves, ranging from 4 to 5 feet tall. Your size is Small.

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Thanks to your fey nature, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 120 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.

Due to your fey nature, you can perceive anything within 30 feet of you without the use of your other senses.

Your creature type is fey rather than humanoid. This means you are immune to effects that specifically target humanoids (like Charm Person) and effects that specifically target fey, target you.

When you die, nonmagical light flashes out from you in a 10-foot radius as your body and possessions, other than metal or magic objects, burn to ash. Any creature in that area and able to see the bright light must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of the creature's next turn.

While in bright light, you have disadvantage on attack rolls, as well as on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
