Homebrew Ethereal Species Details
Striding the chaotic space between planes, the Ethereals are a race of astral travelers that hail from the Twisting Nether. As a denizen of the void, the great devourer of all things, they've learned to become collectors and traders of arcane items and artifacts; things that, otherwise, would have been lost to the maw of the Nether forever. The greatest of their people were known as "Princes" and are beings with unimaginable wealth in both currency and magical power.
And though they are rife with the arcane energy of their destroyed world, one would be remiss to think they were fated to be great spellcasters. Consequential to their ascension into incorporeal beings of arcane energy, they had no physical body to manifest and thus could not reliably manipulate strong magic without risking their lives. Though, as rascals and scoundrels tend to be, they were clever enough to find a workaround in the form of magical items and artifacts, which could channel their immense power for them.
Ethereal Traits
Your Ethereal character has the following racial traitsAbility Score Increase
Your Charisma and Wisdom scores increase by 1.
Age
Ethereals, as beings of pure energy, cannot age the same way corporeal beings do. Potentially, so long as their bandages, the only thing anchoring them to this plane and preventing them from fading back into the Twisting Nether, remain intact, they can live forever. As a rule of thumb, all Ethereals are at least 200 years old.
Arcane Appraisal
As otherworldly merchants, the Ethereals know much about the machinations of trade, especially for artifacts of power. They also have access to the Nether's Markets at all times.
Whenever you sell a magic item of uncommon rarity or higher, increase its base price by 10%.
Additionally, during your downtime, you may sell up to 1 magic item to the Nether Market. These items will always sell for half their original price, ignoring the 10% bonus granted by this feature. The Nether Market cannot be accessed by other means. Goods, and subsequent payment, simply vanish and reappear as the transaction is made.
Incorporeal Form
Ethereals derive their name from the ghostly appearance of their incorporeal body, accentuated only lightly by their enchanted bandages. As a being of energy, you gain immunity to poison damage and being poisoned. Bearing no real semblance of a mind or a brain, you are also resistant to all psychic damage.
Alignment
The constant warping of the Nether has made Ethereals more prone to chaotic acts than any other race. Often regarded as a race of wastrels, thieves, and scoundrels, Ethereals will do anything to satisfy their greed.
Size
Ethereals have the same size, weight, and built as the average human. Your size is medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Your body is composed of fragile bandages and undulating waves of energy. To this extent, you have no swimming speed and cannot gain it by any means.
Language
Ethereals are known wayfarers of many lands, often in pursuit of more coin to add to their ever-expanding hoard.
You can speak Common and one exotic language of your choice.
