Homebrew Yuan-Ti Eladrin Species Details

A Yuan-Ti Eladrin is a child of an Eladrin and a Yuan-Ti Pureblood. While a relationship between such races is possibly rare, it has happened. Yuan-Ti Eladrin tend to have snake-like eyes and scales around a few parts of their bodies such as their shoulders, elbows, and knees; they also have elven ears and other body features. Yuan-Ti Eladrin also have a snake-like tail. Because a relationship between a Yuan-Ti Pureblood and an Elardrin is greatly discouraged and frowned upon, Yuan-Ti Eladrin tend to be abandoned by the age of 10 or their parents killed, during that time, Yuan-Ti Eladrin learn to speak, read, and write in Common, Elvish, and Draconic. Yuan-Ti Eladrin tend to spend the majority of their lives in a forest, cave, or other vacant area. Although extremely rare, Yuan-Ti Eladrin can change their appearance for up to 24 hours, as to blend in with people. And because they spend most of their lives alone, they'll either develop a pure hate for people and be Neutral Chaotic, or live by understanding the world and be Neutral.

Eldrin Half:
Yuan-Ti Eladrin develop a special ability that all Eladrin develop at birth. Once a day during your rest, you can change your season. A Yuan-Ti Eladrin is associated with one of the four seasons and has coloration reminiscent of that season, which can also affect the Eladrin's mood:

  • Autumn is the season of peace and goodwill, when summer's harvest is shared with all.
  • Winter is the season of contemplation and dolor, when the vibrant energy of the world slumbers.
  • Spring is the season of cheerfulness and celebration, marked by merriment as winter's sorrow passes.
  • Summer is the season of boldness and aggression, a time of unfettered energy.

Yuan-Ti Eladirn tend to take more from their Eladrin side than their Yuan-Ti side because Yuan-Ti are Hated among races for their animalistic behaviors and destructive views.

Yuan-Ti Half:
Yuan-Ti Eladrin, like Yuan-Ti Purebloods, are devoid of emotion and see others as tools to manipulate. Although extremely rare, Yuan-Ti Eladrin can also take from their Yuan-Ti side rather than their Eladrin side. The chaotic and destructive views of a Yuan-Ti can be influential to a young Yuan-Ti Eladrin. 

Yuan-Ti Eladrin Seasons:
Yuan-Ti Eladrin have a slightly different season table compared to a normal Eladrin:

  • Autumn is the season of patience and evil intentions, when summer's harvest is shared with all.
  • Winter is the season of feasting and enjoyment, when the vibrant energy of the world dulls.
  • Spring is the season of cheerfulness and celebration, when the world goes quiet.
  • Summer is the season of ambition and blending in, a time of watching and unfettered energy.

Fey Step

A few years after the mysterious disappearance of your parents, you developed a magical ability known as Fey Step. After spending time practicing, you gain the following ability:

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.

The effects are as follows:

  • Autumn. Immediately after you use your Fey Step, up to two creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 1 minute, or until you or your companions deal any damage to it.

  • Summer. Immediately after you use your Fey Step, each creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you takes fire damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 damage).
