Homebrew Half Sea Elf Species Details
You are the child of a union between a human and a sea elf. While most half-elves find it hard to fit in, you find it even more so. The blue tint to your skin makes it hard to blend into land society, while underwater, you are all but fully rejected from sea elven groups because of the human influence in your blood.
You gain a +2 to your Charisma, and a +2 to your Strength. You also have the ability to breathe underwater, and have a 50ft swim speed.
Half Sea Elf Traits
Your half-elf character has some qualities in common with elves and some that are unique to half-elves.Breathe Water
You are able to breathe underwater indefinitely, and suffer no damage or disadvantage in aquatic environments from breathing. You are still unable to breathe anything caustic, such as acid.
Low light vision
You are able to see up to 60 feet in areas of low light, such as low torchlight, soft moonlight, candlelight, etc.
Salt-water Blood
At 1st, 3rd, and 5th levels, whether you are a magic caster or not, you gain access to the following spells:
- Control water
- Water breathing
- Watery sphere
Ability Score Increase
Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Strength increases by 2.
Age
Half-elves mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 180 years.
Alignment

Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Fey Ancestry
You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Posted May 29, 2019It's likely that a Mark of Storms half Sea-Elf would have a further increased swim speed, and magic users would have a greater aptitude with wind and water magics (maybe advantage on spell attacks of those types). I would say, in my world, they would likely be very respected among their people, almost like a chosen. I would also give them a fun flavor thing, where they can jump out of the water fairly high, and feather fall back, (think dolphin) making them a fun choice for an entertainer or bard.
Does that answer your question?
