True Moon Elf (5e Race)
From D&D Wiki
|
This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: This has like no fluff required of races...
|
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: The base of this race gets +4 ASI already, and the subs each add +1 so that's +5 total. If that's not a red flag, then the aggregate power of 35+ base speed, natural armor of 15 base plus dex, and relentless endurance+ for full moon should say something. Then the other sub is just an outright suped up drow with no drawbacks.

This page needs grammatical help. Reason: Uses incorrect "per rest" phrasing.

True Moon Elf Traits[edit]
Ability Score Increase. Dexterity and Wisdom score is increased by 2.
Age. Although moon elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. A moon elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 1000 years old.
Alignment. Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly towards the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others' freedom as well as their own, and are good more often than not.
Size. Moon elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 35 feet.
Darkvision. 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. You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep. You can finish a long rest in 4 hours if you spend those hours in a trancelike meditation, during which you remain conscious. Whenever you finish this trance, you gain proficiency in one skill of your choice and with one Artisian's Tools of your choice, selected from the Player's Handbook. You magically 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.
Keen Senses. You are proficient in Perception.
Languages. Moon elves can speak, read and write Common and Elvish. Elvish is fluid, with subtle intonations and intricate grammar. Elven literature is rich and varied, and their songs and poems are famous among other races. Many bards learn their language so they can add Elvish ballads to their repertoires.
Subrace. Choose from Full Moon Elf or Crescent Moon Elf. The subraces of the Moon Elves are determined by the faction they were born into.
Full Moon Elf[edit]
Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score is increased by 1.
Superior Movement. Your base walking speed is 40 feet.
Full Moon Protection. Due to the magical protection of the moon goddesses you have natural armor that is equal to 15 + your Dexterity modifier.
Moonlight Endurance. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead and move towards a direction up to your current speed without provoking opportunity attacks. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
Elven Martial Training. You have expertise with a martial weapon such as the longsword, shortsword, scimitar, shortbow, and longbow.
Crescent Moon Elf[edit]
Ability Score Increase. Your Intelligence score is increased by 1.
Superior Vision. Your darkvision increases to 120 feet. Superior Darkvision works in magical darkness such as the one created using the darkness spell.
Full Crescent Protection. Due to the magical protection of the moon goddesses, you have natural armor that is equal to 13 + your Intelligence modifier.
Elven Lunar Magic. The typical Lunar elf focuses more on their mind rather than their strength. You can add one cleric or druid spell to your existing list of prepared spells per spellcasting level as you level up. If you do not possess Spell Initiate or a related spellcasting skill you can instead cast each of these spells once per long rest using Intelligence as your Spellcasting modifier.
Darkside of the Moon. You can use your bonus action to cast darkness without requiring any material or verbal components once per short rest. You can cast other spells in the same turn after casting darkness this way.
