Homebrew Eldor Species Details
Eldors are a mysterious and towering race, standing between 6 to 7 feet in height, with lean and robust muscular builds. Their porcelain-pale to violet skin, resembling the ethereal glow of distant stars, lends them an otherworldly presence. Eldors' hair, typically in grayscale tones of blacks, grays, and silvers, cascades down their backs like shimmering nebulae.
Their most striking feature is their eyes, which seem to hold the secrets of the cosmos itself. They shimmer with otherworldly colors, including lush purple, vibrant red, and shimmering gold, reflecting their deep connection to the celestial realms.
Eldors are not merely connected to the natural world; they are attuned to the very cosmos. Their martial and arcane prowess is interwoven with the vast mysteries of the universe, granting them unique powers that set them apart from all other races. They often appear as enigmatic wanderers, traversing the realms in search of cosmic revelations and hidden arcane knowledge.

Your cosmic connection grants you resistance to radiant damage, as your body has become partially attuned to the celestial realms.
Cosmic Wanderer
Eldors possess the ability to traverse the planes and cosmos with ease. At 5th level, you can cast the "Dimension Door" spell once per long rest without expending a spell slot. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is Intelligence.
At 10th level, you gain the ability to cast "Astral Projection" once per long rest without expending a spell slot. Your spellcasting ability for this spell is also Intelligence.
Trance
Eldors 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, Celestial, and one additional language of your choice.

Posted Oct 8, 2023This race is quite overpowered for any traditional DND session so I'd only recommend using it for hardcore campaigns where it can help even out the difficulty for players
