Dusk elf stats?

[Mercule]

I'm reading through "Curse of Strahd" and there are a few dusk elves mentioned. I'm not familiar with this subrace. Is it new? Are there PC stats available?

My understanding is that they are just wood elves with slightly darker coloring. And there are no females because Strahd killed them all to stop them procreating. I could be wrong about all that, though.

The link is to a free download of a preview of a 3rd party book that details that race and others. Only thing I found on google. Looking at the document, it basically can be summarized as: same as other elves, with some difference in flavor.

I have not seen any WotC products with dusk elves, no.

Dusk elves were first introduced in Dragon #382 as a playable race for D&D 4e. They were basically just exactly like normal elves, except there was a bloodline feat you could take to grant a stealth aura (either instead of or in addition to the perception aura - can't remember exactly).

Curse of Strahd, page 119: "They have dark skin and hair, but otherwise they are similar to wood elves (as described in the Player's Handbook)."

Considering the average Barovians take on Demihumans in general and the fact that the total population of Barovia is approx 3,000, the actual volume of Dusk Elves would be negligible.

Indeed. There are just a handful of them, all males. The majority live in one of the Vistani's more permanent camps. It's unlikely most Barovians have ever seen one.

Actully it was his Dusk Elf Chamberlain who murdered all the females. Because he is an cruel guy even by Strahd's standards.

Yeah Rahadin is/was a Dusk Elf himself. Kinda Poetic in a way that Strahd got a Dusk Elf to do it.
