# Ancestry: Eladrin <img src='https://www.gmbinder.com/images/hfki2BM.png' style= 'position: absolute; bottom:975px; right: 350px; height:30px'> ___ Eladrin, also called Leshys or nature spirits, are elves native to fey realms, often seen as paragons of beauty, unpredictable emotion, and boundless magic. An Eladrin is associated with one of the four seasons and has coloration reminiscent of that season, which can also affect the eladrin's mood. Some Eladrin remain associated with a particular season for their entire lives, whereas others transform, adopting characteristics of a new season. ___ Eladrin generally appear as elf-like, but with skin and hair in colors related to their season. Like elves, Eladrin have distinct pointed ears, but an Eladrin's ears are noticeably longer than other elves. Their eyes glow solid or shifting colors. ### Eladrin Traits **Ability Score Increase.** One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and another by 1, to a maximum of 20. ___ **Age.** Eladrin reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, but the eladrin understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An eladrin typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 900 years old. ___ **Alignment.** Eladrin are prone to mood swings and love their freedom, tending towards chaos. ___ **Creature Type.** You are a Humanoid. You are also considered a Fey for any prerequisite or effect that requires you to be a Fey. ___ **Size.** Eladrin 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 fey 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.** Eladrin do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. The Common word for this meditation is "trance." While meditating, you dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive after years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep. \columnbreak **Fey Step.** As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest. When you reach 3rd level, your Fey Step gains an additional effect based on your heritage; if the effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier. The effects are as follows: ___ **Changing Seasons.** When you complete a long rest, you can swap your chosen Heritage for another Eladrin Heritage. Your choice changes the effects of your Fey Step and the proficiency gained by your Heritage. If you had Expertise with a skill proficiency granted by your heritage, you become an expert in the new skill. ___ **Languages.** You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. ### Heritage: Autumnal Spirit Autumn is the season of peace and goodwill, when summer's harvest is shared with all.

Winter Eladrin are seen as cold and distant, sometimes cruel. A winter Eladrin might have snow-white or light blue skin and hair. Their eyes are generally white or blue. ___ **Winter Coldness.** You have proficiency in the Deception skill. ___ **Winterland Step.** At 3rd level, when you use your Fey Step, one creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you before you teleport must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be Frightened of you until the end of your next turn. \pagebreakNum ### Heritage: Springtime Spirit Spring is the season of cheerfulness and celebration, marked by merriment as winter's sorrow passes.

Their eyes are often green or yellow. ___ **Spring Cheer.** You have proficiency in the Performance skill. ___ **Springtime Step.** At 3rd level, when you use your Fey Step, you can touch one willing creature within 5 feet of you. That creature then teleports instead of you, appearing in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you. ### Heritage: Summer Spirit Summer is the season of boldness and aggression, a time of unfettered energy.
