a'lephi Traits

the a'lephi are built for efficiency, so they have developed some unique traits found nowhere else in the material plane.

clarity of mind

when an a'lephi focuses on a task, no wound or disruption will keep it from completing it, even if it results in an outcome that would otherwise be unacceptable to an a'lephi. this ability only extends to crafting and spell casting, not combat. so a 2nd level a'lephi wizard is still not able to wield a shortsword with proficiency, but is able to focus entirely on a spell or ritual.

if an a'lephi unwanted is focused on a task that contradicts its beliefs or morals, it will be able to break off that concentration if a DC 15 charisma check is successful.

cumulative wisdom

an average a'lephi matures at 36 years old, and lives for 214 years after that. and in that time, an a'lephi can gain a mass of knowledge unrivaled by any other race, monster, or mortal being.

an a'lephi gains  +1 wisdom when it turns 125 years old.
