[RPG] Is the High Elf’s extra cantrip in addition to cantrips from your class

cantripsdnd-5eelfracial-traitsspellcasting

I read that High Elves could chose a cantrip from the wizard spells, but is it additional to your own class cantrips, or is it counted as one of them?

For this instance, I want to make a Cleric which has at the beginning 3 cantrips. If I chose to be High Elf, would that mean I'll have 4 cantrips, or does it count as one of the 3?

Best Answer

You would have four cantrips.

The general rule is that features from your race, class, archetype, or whatever, are additional to one another. Features do not stack only when explicitly noted by the rules.
