Homebrew Arcani Species Details

This species is born of intense magic condensation, originally during the wars between gods at the beginning of the universe. To fit into society, they take the visible form of the most common humanoid species of the plane they inhabit, until it becomes fixed at the beginning of maturity. The visual imitation is so good that to the naked eye, they are indistinguishable from the species they imitate, however not to those who can see the arcane

 Arcane Radiance

• Making an arcana check, DC 10 against an Arcani reveals it is not the species it seems to be
• If the arcana check is below a 12, the person who checks is blinded by the magic exuding from them, and auto-fails on arcana checks for the next minute
• If the arcana check is below a 15, the person who checks is dazed by the magic exuding form them and has disadvantage on arcana checks for the next minute

 

Overcharge the area around you with magic.

Ability score increases

Being such a magic attuned species, they are very wise in the ways of magic, and having studied many species, they have learned to act like them.

Darkvision

Using unusually magic attuned eyes, the Arcani can see how the magic emanating off them reacts to objects around them, causing them to be able to see 30 ft. in complete darkness.

Language Proficiency

As a species who has been among man for a long time, they speak in Common

Magical overload

Arcani can force their extra magic into the air around them, overloading all spells, enchantments, and magical items around them, causing them to go haywire. Distinct effects at DM's digression. EX: Cause spells or enchantments to stop working, magical items start causing effects at random (no charge cost), enchantments or spells shift to a similar version, Ring of the Grammarian type effects.
