Males and females have a similar height. However, males have slightly more pronounced noses, and their ears are significantly smaller than female ears. Male ears being slim and pointed, reaching just a little over 2 inches (2.3 inches/6 centimeters), while female ears reach almost 4 inches (3.9 inches/10 centimeters) almost drooping at their edges.

Long hair is also a standard in the race, ranging from the wildest of manes to the best kept and groomed. Elves rarely cut their hair. The way it is kept depends strongly on their family origins: twirled tails full of magical symbolism for the active mages with the more nature-oriented families decorating their hairs with twigs and flowers. This had led to the common belief that they are of different races'a belief that is incorrect.<br />

Their eyes are slanted, possibly due to the constant guarding of their borders in the forest, while observing through leaves and covers or squinting through the night. Male faces are more elongated and refined, whereas female ones are more rounded. Apart from their ears, this is one of the few characteristics that differentiate between the genders of this almost androgynous race.

! style="text-align:left; width:18em;" | Description
| Elves are known for their poetry, song, and magical arts, but when danger threatens they show great skill with weapons and strategy. Elves can live to be over 700 years old, and by human standards are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. Elves are slim and stand 4 1/2 to 5 1/2 feet tall. They tend to be pale-skinned and dark-haired with deep green eyes. They have no facial or body hair, prefer comfortable clothes, and possess unearthly grace. Many other races find them hauntingly beautiful.<br><br>Elven Ability Adjustments: +2 Dex, -2 Con.<br>Favored Class (Wizard): A multiclass elf's wizard class does not count when determining whether he suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing.<br><br>Special Abilities:<br><br>- Sleeplessness: Immune to spells and effects of the 'Sleep' subtype.<br>- Hardiness vs. Enchantments: +2 racial bonus on saving throws against mind-affecting spells.<br>- Bonus Proficiencies (Longsword, Rapier, Shortbow, Longbow)<br>- Skill Affinity (Listen): +2 racial bonus to Listen checks.<br>- Skill Affinity (Search): +2 racial bonus to Search checks.<br>- Skill Affinity (Spot): +2 racial bonus to Spot checks.<br>- Keen Senses: Elves make active Search checks automatically and with no movement penalties.<br>- Low-Light Vision: Allows them to see better than normal in the dark.
