Homebrew Kaldorei Species Details

Age: Night Elves typically claim "adulthood" after their first century, but can live to be several hundred years old.

Alignment: Having an unprecedented connection with nature, most night elves tend to choose to be Lawful Good or Lawful Neutral, choosing to allow nature and its rules to guide them in life. However, when night elves are caught up in a war, their attitudes can sway to another alignment depending on their current leader.

Keen Senses: Night Elves have proficiency in the Medicine skill.

Languages: It is not difficult for a night elf to learn languages; night elves can typically read, speak, and understand Elvish, Common, and one additional language. 

Natural Defenses: Dexterity score increases by +2, and Wisdom score increases by +1.

Nature Resistance: Damage taken from poison and acid is reduced.

Size: Typically standing between 6-8 feet, night elves are tall and have slender builds. They are Medium. 

Speed: Base-walking speed for a night elf is 35 feet.

Superior Darkvision: With an otherworldly light guiding a night elf in even the darkest of environments, they have 120 feet of vision unless otherwise blinded. They have sensitivity to any light that isn't the moon's, and will have difficulty perceiving anything during the day. (Prolonged outings during the day will result in migraines.)

Weapon Skill Training: Night Elves have proficiency with the scimitar, double-bladed scimitar, glaive, shortbow, and longbow.

[...]

Druidcraft: All night elves know the druidcraft cantrip. Wisdom is the spellcasting ability for this.

Shadowmeld: Gain advantage with stealth rolls; it becomes harder for enemies to notice those in the shadows, especially with falling snow, heavy rain, mist, and other natural phenomena. Lasts until dropped or damage is taken.

Touch of Elune: At night, any attack at 19 is considered a crit.

Wisp Spirit: When below 30% of total health, gain 10 additional feet of movement until the next short rest or health is restored through other healing means.

Kaldorei Traits

The night elves are an ancient and mysterious race. They lived in Kalimdor for thousands of years, undisturbed until the world tree was sacrificed to halt the advance of the Burning Legion prior to the events of World of Warcraft.

Druidcraft

All night elves know the druidcraft cantrip. Wisdom is the spellcasting ability for this.

Whispering to the spirits of nature, you create one of the following effects within range:

  • You create a tiny, harmless sensory effect that predicts what the weather will be at your location for the next 24 hours. The effect might manifest as a golden orb for clear skies, a cloud for rain, falling snowflakes for snow, and so on. This effect persists for 1 round.
  • You instantly make a flower blossom, a seed pod open, or a leaf bud bloom.
  • You create an instantaneous, harmless sensory effect, such as falling leaves, a puff of wind, the sound of a small animal, or the faint odor of skunk. The effect must fit in a 5-foot cube.
  • You instantly light or snuff out a candle, a torch, or a small campfire. 

Shadowmeld

Darkness always follows you, for you become one within its embrace as easily as you pray to your goddess; if you do not want to be found, you will not.

(Gain advantage with stealth rolls; it becomes harder for enemies to notice those in the shadows, especially with falling snow, heavy rain, mist, and other natural phenomena. Lasts until dropped or damage is taken.)

Touch of Elune

Your Goddess is kind, and has always been quick to give forgiveness to those that desperately wish for it; she is graceful, and allows only the most powerful (the most worthy) of her people to become her avatar; she is always watching, and will bring good fortune to those that worship her fervently.

She is also a furious warrior when her people call upon her to gain justice when there is none to be found amongst the mortal races.

(At night, any attack at 19 is considered a crit.)

Wisp Spirit

You keep running, but are slowly feeling your life fade away the longer you run; there is no where safe to hide, and your guts have been strewn halfway across the continent in your attempts to get away from the danger.

You keep pushing yourself, never looking back, too afraid to see if they're still on your heels; you pray to Elune and beg her to give you just a little bit of a push so you can escape with your life, even if your body is ruined.

You hope she hears you, as you hear them approaching you.

(When below 30% of total health, gain 10 additional feet of movement until the next short rest or health is restored through other healing means.)

Nature Resistance

You are one with nature; it cannot hurt you.

(Damage taken from poison and acid is reduced.)

Keen Senses

You seem to know when things are wrong, whether it's in the flora or fauna surrounding you. You might not have the best time in recognizing when (or how) something gets sick, but you can surely manage to keep them alive long enough to get them better help.

(Night Elves have proficiency in the Medicine skill.)

Natural Defenses

After a lifetime in a forest, you know how to work your way through even the thickest of its obstacles; you also know which way is most dangerous, just by how the forest reacts around you.

(Dexterity score increases by +2, and Wisdom score increases by +1.)

Languages

Typically, a night elf will learn another race's language and culture through apprenticeship; though, now that most of them have been scattered to the wind, there's more of a 'sink or swim' pressure upon younger night elves.

(It is not difficult for a night elf to learn languages; night elves can typically read, speak, and understand Elvish, Common, and one additional language.)
