Homebrew Chronal Elf Species Details

Chronal elves are a rare and reclusive race, descendants of the union between the ancient time dragon emperor Kalos and the elven queen Aina. They possess an innate connection to the flow of time, granting them abilities that transcend the ordinary. Their slender forms, ethereal beauty, and ageless appearance reflect their timeless lineage. Chronal elves are often mistaken for their high elf counterparts, but their tranquil aura and subtle mastery of time distinguish them.

Creating Your Character

At 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race or of a fantastical race. If you select a fantastical race, follow these additional rules during character creation.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common, Dragonic, Elvish, and one other language of your choice.

Creature Type

Every creature in D&D, including each player character, has a special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. A race tells you what your character’s creature type is.

Here’s a list of the game’s creature types in alphabetical order: Aberration, Beast, Celestial, Construct, Dragon, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, Giant, Humanoid, Monstrosity, Ooze, Plant, Undead. These types don’t have rules themselves, but some rules in the game affect creatures of certain types in different ways. For example, the cure wounds spell doesn’t work on a Construct or an Undead.

Life Span

Although chronal elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the chronal typically claims adulthood when they reach a certain achievement instead of a certain age due to their infinite life span, but only claims adulthood after they reach physical maturity.

Height and Weight

Your size is Medium. To set your height and weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:

Height modifier = 2d6

Height = 5 feet + 6 inches + your height modifier in inches

Weight in pounds = 90 + (1d6 × your height modifier)

Whenever you finish this trance, you gain proficiency in one skill of your choice and with one weapon or tool of your choice that you don't have already, selected from the Player’s Handbook. You mystically acquire these proficiencies by drawing them from shared elven memory, and you retain them until you finish your next long rest.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. Once you use either of these features a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, you can’t use that feature again until you finish a long rest.
