Homebrew Elf Origin Race Species Details
Created by the peaceful and mindful Eghar, God of Elves, the Elf Origin Race was created so that the four Origin Races might come to live in peace. Though this is not achievable due to the other Origin Races aggressiveness towards each other, so the Elves end up becoming part of the War as well.
Eghar's Hope
Compared to the aggressiveness of the Dragonborn, or the brutality of the Humans, the Elves try to do everything through peaceful means, even with their superiority in magical capabilities. The Elves take no prisoners or slaves for their own benefit.
A Timeless Perspective
Elves can live well over 700 years, giving them a broad perspective. This gift from Eghar allows the Elves to further their knowledge of the other Origin Races and gain an upper hand in battle.
Elf Origin Race Traits
Your elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of elven refinement.Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 1, Wisdom score increases by 1, and Strength score decrease by 1.
Age
Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.
Size
Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
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
Elves 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.
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.
