Homebrew Ethereal Soul Species Details
Although they require material elements to be born, Ethereals are a strange living product of aether, cast in a mostly humanoid form but lacking any of the biological qualities of other races. They don’t eat or sleep, and they don’t reproduce nor do they have any physical sexual characteristics. They look immaterial and have a body made out of what appears to be a colored smoke in constant movement. This smoke is most commonly silver or white, although other colors have been shown like torquoise, red, brown, gray, orange and green. At touch they feel like made out of gelatin at best, nothing at worse and they don't seem to get injured. Although they don't have any physical characteristic that may distinguish them as male or female; some of them take a gender identity, although this is extremely rare.
They don't have hair or a face unless they wish too, although they are perfectly able to act as they have ears, eyes and nose.
Ethereal Soul Traits
AgeAge
Ethereals typically come into being as adults. They don't seem to age but must absorb energy in order to sustain existence in the physical plane.
Alignment
Ethereals are typically driven by their personal interests, making them mostly neutral. Some of them, mainly those bound to protect a secret, can be lawful and some who have no great purpose can be Chaotic.
Ability Score Increase
One Ability Score of your choice increases by 2.
Size
Ethereals are about the same size as humans, ranging from 5 to 6 feet tall. They are quite light—only about 60 pounds.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet, however you are always hovering one inch from the ground. Your body still gives off a force that is strong enough to trigger traps. You may choose to float one foot from the ground. If you are knocked off balance, you still fall as normal.
Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Ghostly Nature
You do not eat in a conventional way. In order to sustain existence within the physical plane, you must absorb calories within your body.
Ethereal Mind
Aether makes your mind to be always at peace. When you sleep, you remain still for 4 hours, gaining the benefits of a long rest, while being fully aware of your surroundings. You have advantage against being charmed or frightened. (This feature only works in the Ethereal Plane)
Born of Aether
You have immunity to disease.
Radiant Essence
Your body naturally glows dimly but only enough to be barely visible in the dark. The color of your light can vary and change and must be a color within the visible light spectrum.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.
