Homebrew Avariel Species Details

The Avariel's are winged elves. Avariel's live secluded from the rest of the races. Their elf kin were not as kind to them as they felt inferior and even if not treated as such, subraces such as high elves are too proud. This led to the Avariel's leaving and establishing their own homeland in a secluded secret area.

Avariel's have since then established a self-sustained society. The location of their home is in a desert, within that desert there is a magically protected area with floating rocks and islands in which the Avariel's live.  This location is unknown to all and seeing an Avariel is as rare as watching a human fly. The Avariel's only allow people out of their homeland in special cases:
1. Those who are exiled for their crimes. Some are even stripped of their wings.
2. Those sent to gather information on the external world and report back within 10 years to the Homeland.

Avariel Traits

The Avariel are an elven subrace graced with the power of flight.

Avariel Wings

You have a flying speed of 30ft without medium or heavy armor. You can increase your flying speed to 50ft of movement for one minute but gain two levels of exhaustion once the duration is over, this can be done once per short rest.

While airborne you may take the Avariel Dive Attack action.

Ability Score Increase

Your Dexterity score increases by 2.  You also get +1 in one other score of your choice. You can forgo the +1 to another ability score and take a +2 to any other score but get a -2 to constitution.

Age

 For Avariel whose live significantly longer than most elves they typically claim adulthood and an adult name at the exact age of 150 and can live for exactly a millennium, before they pass on the exact moment they were born 1000 years ago.

Alignment

Alignment. Avariel like their elven brothers love freedom, and no freedom is quite as great as soaring through the skies, as such they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good or neutral.

Size

Avariels range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds and thin bones. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Keen Senses

You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Trance

Elves don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
