Homebrew Fractal Species Details
The Mirror Zone is a mysterious place, unknown to all but the most studious mages. Using it one can simply crawl through a mirror and travel great distances, even across planes, but the twisting reflecting halls, infinitely refracting light, are dizzying to traverse, and no one really knowns what lurks between the surfaces. Fractals, however, are a known denizen of this plane, but whether they are natives to it or what remains of those that could not navigate the twisting planes of glass remains uncertain.
Fractals are a young race, and as such there is not much of a culture that binds them. Their personallities are often adopted from the people they observe from the other side of mirrors or the people they spend time alongside. The glassy material that makes up a fractal's body has been known to have properties that can deflect certain spells, but also leaves their bodies vulnerable to attacks from blunt objects.
Fractal Traits

Reflective Body
As an action, you can channel the reflective properties of your glass-like body to deflect incoming spells. For the next minute you concentrate on this power as if it were a spell to gain advantage on all saves against spells, and also all spell attack rolls against you have disadvantage, however you also gain vulnerablity to bludegeoning and thunder damage. You can end this ability early as a bonus action and can use it as many times equal to your proficiency bonus. You regain all charges after a long rest.
Limited Telepathy
Fractals lack any facial features and convential organs that would allow to communicate conventially. Instead they utilize a form of limited telepathy, which allows them to communicate with creatures that understand at least one shared language with the Fractal.
You can speak to a willing creature within 60 feet of you telepathically, assuming you share a common language. You also know common, and one other language of your choice.
Prismatic Camouflage
By morphing the panes of glass that make up your form you can deflect rays of light, giving you the appearance of disappearing in bright light. Provided that you do not currently have disadvantage on stealth checks, you can make the hide action in bright light as if you were in dim light or darkness.
