Homebrew Astralborn Elves Species Details
In the beginning of time, when Vil'ron wan't even created yet, Mademoiselle Lyons needed a vessel for her astral magic to be put into the world. Thus, besides the Astral Plane, she created 4 additional layers in them: The Sun, The Moon, The Stars and The Void. Each vessel enact a stage in life, part of the planar system, a type of magic, domains and even the control over their respective elemental plane. Then came the other planes, the land, the gods and domains. Once the creation was done, the world was inhabited by creatures. The first initial humanoid races birthed on the planet were created from the energy of the various planes - making them Planarborn.
One of the Planarborn races were the Astralborn elves that were born from the Astral Plane. These four Astral plane layers resulted in the four species of Planarborn Elves, one for each sublayer: Solisborn Elves representing the sun, Lunarborn Elves representing the moon, Astrumborn Elves representing the stars and Inanisborn Elves the void that connected them all.
The leaders of each of these clans also carry the knowledge of the creation of the universe and swore to keep this in solitude for themselves. They work as officers for Mademoiselle Lyons and send information to her.
Astralborn Elves Traits
Your elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of elven refinement.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.
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.
