Homebrew Seer Species Details
Seers are magical people, chosen to determine futures and pasts. Seers aren't actually their own race of people, instead, they are members of all different sorts of races, with the one similarity being the white or blue eyes/iris's that each Seer shares.
The Perfect Diviner
Seers are both blessed and cursed with their unending love for truth. Most Seers become Oracles or diviners, but others can branch out to become detectives or librarians. A Seer will usually never stray from the path of knowledge and truth, but it is not unheard of for a Seer to attempt to find their own path. Either way, Seers will aspire to be adept magic users or skillful practitioners in ritual and divinatory magics.
Seer Traits
Your Seer character has a variety of Divinatory abilities, which is a result of thousands of years worth of recording future timelines and specific pasts that lead to them.Ability Score Increase
Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and one other ability score increases by 1 based on your original race.
Age
Your age range is decided by your race of origin, from before your character became a Seer. This age range will usually be multiplied by 10, as Seers do have a connection to the fundamentals of time, causing their bodies to naturally preserve themselves. The only exceptions are elves and other races that can live to or beyond 750 years of age, which only have a cumulative bonus of x5
Alignment
While Seers do strive to remain neutral in their ways, the values that have been instilled into the individual from before they became a Seer still remain. Many will see the value in order and trend toward following the ways of law, some will gravitate toward the quirks of people as individuals which lets them view the world from a chaotic perspective. Regardless, it is a Seers duty to set aside the morals that come with believing in the differences between right and wrong, in order to write an unbiased view of the past, present, and future.
Size
Your size and body description are based on your original chosen race.
Speed
Your speed is the same as your chosen original race.
Vision of dark and light
Accustomed to the conditions of viewing into the lay lines of our reality, your physical sight is near immutable, granting you limited "perfected" sight in our 3-dimensional plane. You have the ability to see unimpeded in magical and non-magical light-based effects (such as the spells "Daylight" and "Darkness") up to 60 feet away from you. you can see in color if the effect is magical, but natural light-based impedance to your vision can only be seen in shades of grey.
Lay-line Eyes
You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Clear Mind
You have advantage on saves against being Charmed, Frightened, or Possessed.
Truesight
After honing the eyes that have been gifted to them, Seer's will begin to exhibit the unique and innate magic to see through deceptions. At 5th level, you have Truesight out to a range of 5 feet, except you lack the ability to see into the ethereal plane. at 14th level, the distance of your Truesight increases to 30 feet, though you still lack the ability to see into the ethereal plane.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common and two languages of significance to your character.
The first must be a standard language spoken by the people of your past (Dwarven, Elvish, Gnomish, Goblin, Halfling, Orc, etc.).
The second of the two represents the plane with which you are most attuned, which plane you choose to spectate in your divining endeavors, or which plane you have focused your studies toward (Abyssal - refers to the abyss and other demon realms, Celestial - refers to the upper planes where angelic and godly figures reside, Draconic - either represents the elemental planes, the elemental chaos, or the material plane, Deep Speech - represents the plane of thought or the Shadowfell, Infernal - the lower planes where greater and lesser devils reside, Primordial - represents the elemental planes or the elemental chaos, Sylvan - represents the Feywild, Undercommon - represents the material plane.)
