Homebrew Aegrith Species Details

Aegriths are tormented souls that came back to life after dying. They still look vaguely like they used to but their ghostly transformation left a clear imprint on their appearance. Aegriths' skin is purely black - it almost looks like it consumes the light shining on it. The only feature still visible on their body are brightly white staring eyes.

Ghostly Body

Aegriths' bodies are made of darkness matter that holds and protects their heart, brain and liver. Thanks to this almost incorporeal body, they have resistance to Cold, Necrotic and Poison damage.

Telepathic

Aegriths don't have mouths, or at least vocal cords, capable of speech. Instead, they can mentally connect with others, granting them following benefits:

  • Increase your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma score by 1.
  • You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see within 60 feet of you. Your telepathic utterances are in a language you know, and the creature understands you only if it knows that language. Your communication doesn't give the creature the ability to respond to you telepathically.
  • You can cast the Detect Thoughts spell, requiring no spell slot or components, and you must finish a long rest before you can cast it this way again.
