Homebrew Angel Species Details
"I could not see. I was blinded by an otherworldly glow, so bright it seemed that the sun itself had fallen to the earth. As the glow slowly faded, I beheld a grand figure, wrapped in the most beautiful cloth, and adorned by the most gracefully crafted armor. He looked down at me, and spoke, saying, 'I have come to aid you and your peoples. Where might I serve?'"
The Journal of Kilmesh, page 84
Otherworldly Beauty
Angels have a natural beauty to them, so much that it tends to stun any evil creature who beholds them. All evil creatures must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw when attacking for the first time.
Heavenly Training
Having once been soldiers of the Armies of Heaven, Angels remember their training quite well. They are masters of most weapons, and can cast a variety of spells.
Glory of Heaven
Angels have wings. They can fly at a base speed of 45 feet, and have a wingspan of twice their height.
Angel Traits
As a result of being alive for thousands of years, angels are complete masters of whatever weapon they have chosen to weild.Ability Score Increase
Your Dexterity score increases by 2.
Age
Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.
Alignment
Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so 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 than not. The drow are an exception; their exile into the Underdark has made them vicious and dangerous. Drow are more often evil than not.
Size
Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision
Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. 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.
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.
