Homebrew Caeliyan Species Details

After the cataclysm that split the realm of elements apart from the greater elemental chaos, each of the realms began to produce their own personal races. The Caeliyan race was the second to form their race. After the major event that was the Aquyan race, the creatures in the plane of air were excited to see what was to come. One Aven, a Nocten named Kru, was careening through the Labyrinth Winds when she passed by a tornado that seemed a little different. There was a small light emanated from the center of it. As she passed by a streak of lighting shot out to hit her but she dove down below the clouds beneath her. To her surprise, the tornado followed and pushed her further and further into the Labyrinth. As she was beginning to wain in energy she looked back and was surprised that the light had disappeared. In its place stood a short whispy cloud with light blue on its fingertips. The aven, being ever curious approached the newly formed being. She took it and carried it back to Aaqa. There the whisp grew into a tumultuous windy mess learning from the headstrong creatures in the plane of air.

As the Caeliyan grew older she knew that she wanted to test herself, so it dove down into the depths of the Labyrinth Wings to find what her purpose was and what she should call herself. As she swirled in the mists and winds and storms of the Labyrinth she heard a deep voice behind her. Turning, she found a male approaching her. The two hit it off and decided to form a city underneath the Labyrinth away from anywhere the other races could find. The lady named herself Asaalaass and the man named himself Seereen. Together they began to form the beginnings of a great society. Quickly adapting to the magical arts and learning how to become their own patrons as a Warlock. A lot of the race loved the arts and began making beautiful music. So much so that the Plane of Air always seemed to have an echo of music, though none of the other races could determine where it was coming from. Eventually, as all the races did, the Caeliyans decided to move into the material plane. This time because of three musicians: Waahaala the trumpeter, Queela the harptress, and Zaen the singer. They left to share the stories of the elemental planes with the other races and formed a city on the outskirts of Candlekeep. Queela and Zaen eventually marrying and forming a tribe of thirty-five children. 

Caeliyan Traits

The Caeliyans use the air to empower their spells.

Caeliyan Immunity

The Caeliyan race are beings of pure air. Their entire form shifting and moving in a rhythmic dance of motion. As such concussive blasts don't seem to phase the Caeliyans. They are entirely immune to thunder damage and cannot be pushed around by it. 

Ability Score Increase

Your Charisma score increases by 3, your Intelligence score increases by 1, and your Strength score decreases by 2

Age

The Caeliyan race is the shortest-lived of all the races. As the wind comes and fades in an instant so do the Caeliyan race. The average Caeliyan lives until they are 130 before they die. The Caeliyan race begins there life with a spark one of their fingertips on each hand. As they grow throughout their lives that spark creates a lightning streak that becomes hands, then arms and creeps throughout their body until they have an outline of their inner form showing in the lighting just before their death. 

Alignment

The Caeliyans are a brash, headstrong race that likes to mess with those they are around. As such they are Chaotic but they never tend towards good or evil. 

Size

The Caeliyan race are small creatures made of air. They are between 2 and 4 feet tall and weight next to nothing. At max, the Caeliyans weigh 35 pounds. 

Vision

The Caeliyans have basic vision. However, during storms, their eyes focus in and can see as though there were no obstructions. 

Shocking Grasp

Due to the lightning energy that surrounds you, you are able to use Shocking Grasp. Anytime you would make a melee attack you can use shocking grasp as a bonus action. 

Breathless

The caeliyan race is made of air and thus can never run out of it. The Caeliyan's have no need to breathe. As such, they can survive forever underwater by holding their breath. As a bard, they can infinitely blow their instrument if the instrument needs air. 

Hovering

The Caeliyan race hates the ground so much they have learned to live hovering just a few inches off of the ground. 

Mysophobia

The Caeliyan race hates the Earth so much that they don't want to get dirty. They avoid enclosed Earthen places, avoid muddy areas, and will try to avoid anything that could cause a mess. When confronted with something that can make you dirty make a Wisdom saving throw or be terrified until you can be 30 feet away or until a full minute has passed. 

Natural Form

A Caeliyan hides within the clouds and lightning that surrounds their true form. They can pull back the air to reveal a shifting gelatinous form underneath. the lightning matches this form at the end of their life. The gelatinous form looks vaguely like another race when half-breed though this is incredibly rare as the Caeliyans are terrified of interbreeding.
