Elf, High

Truly annoying elitist magical perfection. A humanoid.

Imagine perfection. You are to this creature what a chimp is to a human. It is so entrancing and graceful it seems that time bends around it.

Better than you, condescendingly polite, graceful pride.


 
HD: 1 Armor: none
Hit it: normal Dodge it: hard

It resists spells (because it’s nearly a fairy). Out of combat, it can cast minor magic.

Attacks (1/round)

Elven Fencing. The high elf makes a melee attack (1D6). Its target’s attack against it are hard until the elf’s next turn.

Elven Accuracy. The high elf makes a ranged bow attack with advantage (1D6).

Dancing Lights. The high elf summons small orbs of light that dance around a target in sight. Negating cover and stealth for the battle.
