Homebrew Erate Species Details

Erates are humanoid beings that resemble aspects of the physical landscape of their birth environment (dirt, sand, rock, water, magma, electricity, air & flora.) Erates are able to control their body's and use their base born element to their advantage. (like how a water erate may soak up water to heal or become harder to spot at distances by changing  form to a humanoid water figure.) Erates are special and rare beings who traditionally like to stay in there born environment where they have control and are safe, they are not usually social and take a while to gain trust of a person because there are so few, though few in numbers though Erates are a truly formidable race, they are the result of generations of wizards in closed society's trying to recreate themselves as an elemental human hybrid, unlike most stories you hear of high powered society's trying to play god, the wizards succeeded better then they could have hoped for, creating a new race of elemental beings truer to what they believed they should be. these new race of people though tend to have a higher then average IQ fined they do not all want to become wizards like there ancestors but rangers, bards, paladins and a much more diverse array of classes.
