Ability Score Increases
Ability Score Increases are related to your character's background, rather than species. When you select a background, increase your statistics using the background's three chosen ability scores. If the background does not have a listed set of ability scores, increase any one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.
Life Span
The typical life span of a player character in the is about a century, assuming the character doesn’t meet a violent end. Members of some species, such as nymphs and earth golems, can live for centuries. If typical members of a species can live longer than a century, that fact is mentioned in their description.
Languages
When creating your character, after selecting your class, species, and background, select your known languages. Your character can speak, read, and write Common and two other standard languages. The Basic Rules offers a list of languages to choose from. The GM is free to modify that list for a campaign.

Only in specific cities and cultures would you find the unlikely offspring of dwarves and elves. This sturdy, yet dexterous folk take from both their heritages, gaining the best of both worlds. Throughout the lands of Ganya, the home world of both Elves and Dwarves, you can find the occasional offspring of the unlikely pairings.
Those who come from a dwarf and elf parent tend to have a sturdy and stout torso, with slightly thinner and longer extremities. Their ears tend to look like those of a half elf, and it is common to see these feytouched beings with strong beards. The dwarvish genes for a hearty beard transcend almost every known pairing of dwarves and another humanoid species, even Dragonborn and Lizardfolk. As an offspring of both elves and dwarves, Stone Elves typically are born on Ganya, but occasionally an adventurous dwarf and elf couple might find themselves off-world when their child is born. Stone-Elves mature at the same rate as elves, but they’re considered young until they reach the age of 50. On average, they live about 550 years.

*When you take the Magic action, you cast a spell that has a casting time of an action or use a feature or magic item that requires a Magic action to be activated. If you cast a spell that has a casting time of 1 minute or longer, you must take the Magic action on each turn of that casting, and you must maintain Concentration while you do so. If your Concentration is broken, the spell fails, but you don’t expend a spell slot. See also “Concentration.”
