Homebrew Half Wood Elf- Half Drow Species Details
Although the number of Half-Elves has increased over the years, their existence is frowned on by most full blood elves, worse than this though are the Half-Half-Elves, especially those who have Drow blood in them. This is because they are so hard to distinguish from regular elves and have been used for spying and other treacherous behaviours during the elven wars. From this hatred and dislike comes the name Fallen Elf (the Lanta in Elvish).
These elves have the abilities of one or both their parents and this gives them skill that most elves can't access.
Shunned by their own people and sometimes even their parents, fallen elves live on the fringes of elven society, foraging and stealing what they need, some have managed to make a name for themselves hiding their true identity and showing only one of their mixt background. Others have tried to live with humans but they struggle with the same things as Half-Elves, watching their friends grow up and die while they stay the same. Struggling to fit into either society, most end up living solitary lifestyles for at least some time in their lives.

Dominant Heritage

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. The drow are an exception; their exile into the Underdark has made them vicious and dangerous. Drow are more often evil than not.
Size
Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 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.
Keen Senses
You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, 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.
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.
