Homebrew Ather-Born Human Species Details
A being formed from pure magic. Not born into the Weave, but born from it. Their very existence is raw magic taken shape. The world fears them for what they are, and they have a right to do so. These people are unpredictable, and can become anything.
Ather-Born Human Traits
Being born from the Weave itself, your control and resistance to magic is unmatched. However you're physically out of balance. You're made of magic, not flesh.Ather-Forged Resilience
Gain resistance to all magic damage, and advantage on saving throws against spells and magic effects. Your body is made out of condensed ather energy instead of normal flesh.
Ather Manifest Sword
As a bonus action, you can summon a sword made out of pure ather energy. Deals 1d8 + STR/DEX force damage, and counts as a magical weapon. It cannot be disarmed, and leaves Leaves faint silver ather‑residue when striking.
Balance Cut (1/rest): On hit, end one magical effect on the target (Con save)
Ather Instability
Because of your lack of a solid physical form, you have a weakness to non-magical bludgeoning damage, and critical hits deal 1 extra die of damage. On taking a critical hit, roll a con save of 10 or half of the damage taken (whatever is higher) or lose concentration on your current spells. Also when hit, your form "glitches" in a grey-whiteish color.
Ather Echo
When taking force damage, roll a D20. If a 1-5 was rolled, an echo of yourself appears randomly on the battlefield. The echo acts on 0 initiative, and makes a melee (1d6 force) attack against the closest target to it within a 5ft radius, then disappears.
Ather Physiology
You do not bleed normally, instead, you bleed drops of a silver-like substance. When emotional or casting spells, your body flickers or "glitches" in a silver-gray color.
Innate Magical Precision
