The Dire Elf

Thanks Nick. I agree completely on the Darkvision, the additional stuff there was a holdover from the original dire elf NPC in my campaign. The party uses Darkness in nearly every situation, and I was giving them a foe who wasn't as affected.
In regards to the Distrust/Fey Ancestry, I wanted the orc blood to make them still susceptible to being put to sleep with magic. But I see what you mean about the elven feel. In the next revision I've split it like this:

"Fey Ancestry: You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed. Because of your orc blood, however, you are susceptible to being put to sleep through magic.

Innate Distrust: Due to your orc blood and the way others typically react to you, you have advantage on saving throws against Deception and Persuasion."

I really appreciate your insight! I'm trying to keep the race balanced. If you have a moment, let me know what you think of the above changes.

I'm also curious what you think...See more of the Quick Reaction trait in the elfblood subrace. I worry a little about game balance there. I've changed the wording to:

"Quick Reaction. You have +1 to initiative rolls, beating all ties.
You can also use your bonus action as a reaction before your first turn, which can include spending 5 ft. of your movement.
The Quick Rection can be taken at any time before your first turn, or at the start of your first turn, as long as you have not yet moved, or taken any other action, reaction or bonus action.
If you have taken a Quick Reaction, you can make a normal, second reaction anytime after the Quick Reaction during the first round, but may take another bonus action on your turn."
OP? Confusing?
