Your body is an expression of self-authored architecture. It may incorporate flesh, metal, ceramic, crystal, living chitin, synthetic musculature, arcane circuitry, condensed shadow, or other materials in any combination.

Regardless of your appearance or the materials composing your body, you are a living Humanoid rather than an object or Construct. Your physical composition does not determine the nature or validity of your personhood.

Your unusual sensory architecture allows you to perceive your surroundings even in darkness.

You have Darkvision with a range of 60 feet. Within that range, you can see in Dim Light as if it were Bright Light and in Darkness as if it were Dim Light. You discern colors in that Darkness only as shades of gray.

When you use this vision, your eyes may become luminous, reflective, star-like, or otherwise visibly unnatural.

Your body can manipulate gravity, aetheric force, arcane propulsion, or another internal means of locomotion to sustain controlled flight.

You have a Flying Speed equal to your Walking Speed. Your flight does not require wings or another external appendage.

You can also hover, maintaining your position in the air without needing to move continuously.

The precise manifestation of this ability is yours to determine. It may appear as gravitic distortion, silent propulsion, luminous energy, shadow-like displacement, or another expression of your self-authored form.

Your physical form is not an immutable inheritance. Through conscious alteration of your internal architecture, you can change how your body interacts with the surrounding world.

Whenever you finish a Long Rest, choose one of the following configurations: Bastion, Wraith, Arachnid, or Resonant.

Your chosen configuration remains active until you choose another configuration when you finish a Long Rest.

Your relationship with physical reality is negotiable.

As a Bonus Action, you partially uncouple yourself from ordinary physical space and teleport to an unoccupied space you can see within 30 feet.

During the transition, your form can appear to pass through creatures, objects, or intervening barriers. You do not need an unobstructed physical route between your starting position and destination, but your destination must be an unoccupied space you can see.

You can use Phase Refusal a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

Starting at 5th level, immediately after you use Phase Refusal, you gain Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage until the start of your next turn.

Mechanical Trait:

Bonus Action

Teleport: 30 feet

Uses: Proficiency Bonus

Recharge: Long Rest

Level 5+: temporary B/P/S Resistance until start of next turn

The pattern defining your identity possesses extraordinary internal continuity. Magic and other forces can influence you, but changing who you are is considerably more difficult.

You have Advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the Charmed condition.

Additionally, when you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throw, you can add your Proficiency Bonus to the roll, potentially turning the failure into a success.

Once you use this additional benefit, you can't use it again until you finish a Long Rest.

Mechanical Trait:

Advantage on saves against/ending Charmed

Once per Long Rest after failing an INT, WIS, or CHA save:

Add Proficiency Bonus

Potentially change failure into success

Personhood among the Eclipsari does not require a single internal configuration.

An Eclipsari may experience themselves as one consciousness, multiple distinct identities, a chorus, shifting or nested selves, ancestral presences, constructed subselves, interconnected minds, or another configuration entirely.

Eclipsari cultures generally recognize these possibilities as natural variations of personhood rather than inherently pathological conditions, magical abnormalities, or defects requiring correction.

Your internal configuration has no inherent mechanical benefit or penalty. It does not by itself make you more or less susceptible to magic, telepathy, possession, madness, or other effects.

Whatever the architecture of the self may be, personhood belongs to those who inhabit it.

Eclipsari are self-authored beings whose forms reflect individual development rather than predetermined physical traits. When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one ability score of your choice by 2 and another by 1.

Eclipsari do not possess a single ancestral tongue, as their identities and communities are shaped more by lived experience than inherited culture. You can speak, read, and write Common, one other language of your choice, and one rare language of your choice. This additional language typically reflects the people, region, plane, or community that most strongly influenced your development.
