Homebrew Etherians Species Details
Etherians
Origin: Etherians are mystical beings formed from the raw, magical energy of The Ether, a plane of existence that is the source of all arcane power. They are not born in the traditional sense but are instead manifested when the energies of The Ether coalesce into a sentient form. This process is often influenced by powerful magical events or the will of ancient arcane entities.
Appearance: Etherians have a unique and otherworldly appearance. Their bodies are semi-transparent and constantly shift in color and form, resembling liquid light or flowing energy. Their eyes are luminous, often reflecting the colors of their surroundings, and their presence emits a faint, magical aura that can be seen in dim light. Their hair flows like a gentle breeze, further emphasizing their ethereal nature, they look somewhat feminine despite being genderlis
Traits:
- Ability Score Increase: Your charisma score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
- Age and Maturity: Etherians come into existence as fully formed adults, typically appearing to be in their early twenties. They do not age in the traditional sense and remain in their prime for the entirety of their existence. An Etherian’s lifespan is relatively short compared to other races, lasting around 30 to 40 years. As they near the end of their lifespan, their form gradually becomes more translucent until they eventually dissipate back into The Ether.
- Alignment: Etherians tend to be neutral, driven by a desire to understand and harmonize with the energies around them. Their connection to The Ether often makes them contemplative and introspective.

- Darkvision: Accustomed to the mystical energies of The Ether, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
- Ethereal Form: You have resistance to necrotic damage and advantage on saving throws against being charmed. Your ethereal nature makes you less susceptible to certain types of harm and manipulation.
- Mystic Touch: You can cast the Mage Hand cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast Detect Magic once per day. Starting at 5th level, you can cast Misty Step once per day. Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for these spells.
- Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice. Many Etherians choose to learn languages that allow them to communicate with other arcane beings or scholars.
Cultural Aspects: Etherians do not have a traditional society or culture. Instead, they are often solitary wanderers, seeking knowledge and understanding of the arcane. They are naturally drawn to places of magical significance and often become advisors or guardians of ancient arcane secrets. Despite their solitary nature, Etherians are known to form deep, meaningful connections with those who share their passion for magic and the mysteries of the universe.
