Astral Elf Parentage

Elves are known for their sharp facial features. They are slightly shorter than humans, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet. They are more slender than humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds.
Elves’ coloration encompasses the normal human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, purple, and almost bluish-white, hair of green or blue, and eyes like pools of liquid gold or silver. Most elves have no facial and little body hair.
Elves can live for centuries, giving them a broad perspective on events. Since they are so long-lived, they can enjoy centuries of exploration, discovery, relaxation, or any other pursuit.
Elves have adapted to a number of different environments. Some live deep in the forest or jungle, swift and trackless, while others live by or near the sea, giving them aquatic adaptations. Still other elves live their lives underground, giving them unrivaled eyesight and innate magic. Some elves have spilled beyond the Material Plane, entering other realms and staying for countless generations.

Astral Elf Traits

You have a pool of 16 points to spend between your two birth parents. If either or both of your birth parents are an Astral Elf, choose from the following.

Astral Trance (3 Point)

  • You don’t need to sleep. Instead, you meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. Whenever you finish this trance, you gain proficiency in one skill of your choice and with one weapon or tool of your choice, selected from the Player’s Handbook. You mystically acquire these proficiencies by drawing them from shared elven memory and the experiences of entities on the Astral Plane, and you retain them until you finish your next long rest.

Dark Vision (4 Points)

  • 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 (3 Points)

  • You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed, and magic can’t put you to sleep.

Keen Senses (2 Points)

  • You have proficiency in the Perception skill.

Long-Lived (0 Points)

  • If you inherit this trait from your other birth parent also, your lifespan is relatively long.

Starlight Step (8 Points)

  • As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
