Qy'reen elders often retreat into deep meditation in their final decades and say they are reading the long-period harmonics of the Rift.
Features
- Spectral Sight
Your eyes resolve the infrared and low-Rift bands. You can see in dim light within 60 feet as if it were bright light, and in darkness within 30 feet as if it were dim light (in muted hues). You also have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect active Rift sources, energy signatures, or biological heat within 60 feet.
- Rift-Sensitive
You feel disturbances in nearby Rift currents before others see them. As a reaction when a creature you can see within 30 feet begins to cast a spell, you learn the spell's Channel (Sun, Earth, Water, Ether, Arc, Molten, or Metal) before it resolves. Once used, this feature recovers on a short or long rest.
- Kin-Pod Etiquette
You were raised in a kin-pod, a layered cohort that values calibrated speech and shared silence. You gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Insight, Persuasion, or Lore. When you spend at least 10 minutes in conversation with a willing humanoid, you can attempt to read their disposition; on a successful DC 12 Wisdom (Insight) check the GM tells you one true thing about their current intent toward you.
- Lithe Stride
Your low-mass frame moves cleanly through cluttered ground. Difficult terrain composed of debris, undergrowth, or shifting footing costs you no extra movement. You also have advantage on saving throws made to resist being knocked Prone.
