Features

  • Elemental Inheritance

    Your blood bears the mark of one element. Choose the Channel of Sun, Ether, Earth, or Water at character creation. You gain resistance to one damage type associated with that Channel, and you can read, write, and speak the tongue of the realm it belongs to.

  • Rift-Sensitive Blood

    Elven blood is sensitive to the Rift. Your starting Rift Affinity at character creation is increased by 1, subject to the standard cap.

  • Keen Senses

    You gain proficiency in the Perception skill. If you are already proficient in Perception from another source, you gain proficiency in Arcana, History, or Insight instead.

  • The Long Quiet

    You rest in a waking trance. You gain the benefit of a long rest from four hours of trance, and you remain aware of your surroundings throughout. You have advantage on saving throws against being Charmed, and magic cannot put you to sleep against your will.

  • Unbroken Memory

    Your memory is exact, and your line has held the same grievances since the Riftfire Rebellion. You have advantage on Intelligence (History) checks concerning events your own lineage witnessed, and you can recall the exact wording of any conversation you took part in within the last month.

  • Inherited Recoil

    Your elemental inheritance reacts to damage of its own element. You have resistance to that damage instance, and the next weapon attack you make before the end of your next turn deals an extra 1d6 damage of that element. You can use this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
