Homebrew Caligan Species Details

Caligans are folks with strange feather horns adorned on their skull, which gives them a beautiful celestial appearance. Although they have many facial features which resemble those of elves and other fey creatures, Caligans have an easy time growing facial hairs, further proving that they do not have fey ancestry. Found all over the universe, Caligans are a wise bunch who live very long and who have an incredible memory. It goes hand in hand to say that due to their stunning ability to recall information which easily goes back hundreds of years, they never truly forget someone who has wronged them. A Caligan brain is conditioned to ponder on issues and recall information when resting. While resting, they have the ability to use their time to perfectly recall any previous information they have previously learned, or to ponder on a solution to a large problem with the help of insights from their past. 

With their remarkable Wisdom, Caligans usually are proficient at surviving in any condition they find themselves in. Due to this fact, most large cities of Uinderal have a few Caligans in them. In some worlds, Caligans assemble to create gigantic societies which survive for millennials under their guidance.

Wise Rest

Your brain is conditioned to think with extreme fluidity when meditating. On a short or long rest, rolls made to recall information or to solve puzzles are made with advantage.

Trance

Like Elves, Caligans 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.
