Elf Lineage Species in Choradesa | World Anvil

Elf Lineage

Elves are a proud species, born casters, and incredibally intelligent. They are usually on the taller side, have pale skin, and pointy ears. Elven eyes are inverted from normal with white pupils and black sclera. Most elves are from Deific Communes, and are usually highly religious. While Elves are somewhat frail, they are still fully capable of getting up close and fighting in the front line due to their ability to perform physical actions along side casting spells.

    Osmosis [25]

    Osmosis Elves are slick to the touch and able to absorb and process a wide array of elements through their skin. This allows them to not only "breathe" underwater, but are immune to any respiratory agents. They can also passively absorb nutrients from particles floating in the air, reducing the amount of food they need to consume. They are very vulnerable to dehydration as they must keep themselves as damp as possible.

  • Nature [25]

    Nature Elves are in tune with nature. They can speak to any flora and fauna they encounter. Whether natural, mutated, or even if it's not of this plane. Their method of communication with these creatures does not translate well into more "structured" forms of communication. Because of this, its common for them to sound like they have a stutter or some other kind of speech impediment. Because of this, nature elves will generally stay away from the more "civilized" people and spend more time with the plants and animals.

  • Speak With Plants [15]
  • Shyness [-5]
  • Stuttering [-10]

  • Vulnerability: Ethereal Silver x2 [-20]
  • * You may go insubstantial, but it takes 10 minutes to do, it costs 2 FP per minute of being insubstantial, and you still make noise when you move around
