Homebrew AiN Eladrin Race Details

When Beola first brought the ancient Edhel to Fey, she split them into many different races.  The first and closest to the original Edhel was the Eladrin.  Split into three subraces, each was designed to be in service and in worship of one of the three primal gods of the upper planes:  Gold for Celo, God of Light, Silver for Luna, Goddess of Knowledge, and Amethyst for Juna, Goddess of Wisdom. 

Compaired to an Elf, Eladrin are slightly stockier and taller, with a more angular face, more prominent ears, and pupal-less eyes.  On average, the height is between 5'2" and 6'5", and weight between 115 and 165 lbs.  Even with this, most find Eladrin appear to be more elegant and regal then most other Elves, though a bit other-worldly. 

Like elves, Eladrin can live a long time, occasionally living a century or more.  Even with this, only the oldest of Eladrin show any signs of aging, and even then they are hard to find for all but the keenest eyes.  Eladrin in the Fey would typically be found speaking Elvish, Gnomish, or Sylvan over any other language.

 

 

AiN Eladrin Traits

The following traits are true for all AiN Eladrin

Ability Score Increase

Eladrin are naturally nimble, though not as much as their Elven cousins, while also being a bit hardier.  Both your Dex and Con scores increase by 1.

 

Age

Eladrin age, both mentally and physically, as Elves do.  This means that, though physically no different then a young human adult by the age of 20, society does not allow one to persue their own life as an adult until 100.  Eladrin are also a bit longer lived then elves, often reaching 900 to 1000 years in age.

Alignment

Most Eladrin are Good by nature giving their original design, though some take a more grey area approach to the concepts of Good and Evil.  With that said, it is hard to find a chaotically focused Silver Eladrin or a strict and single minded Amethyst.  For the most part:

Silver = LN, LG, NG

Gold = LG, NG, CG

Amethyst = NG, CG, CN

Size

Eladrin range in height between 5 and a little over 6 ft.   They weigh, on average, between 115 and 165.  You are considered a Medium sized creature.

Speed

Your movement speed as an Eladrin is 30 ft.

Keen Senses

You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Trance

Eladrin don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Fey Step

As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Once you use this trait, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
