Eldan

The Humans that were transformed by the energies of the Elder Gods would sometimes give birth to a completely different kind of offspring. Some parents would expect to pass on their transformed genes, only to find that they gave birth to an Eldan. Eldan do not differ much in appearance to Humans except their skin takes on a greyer hue. One thing that sticks out among all Eldan is that each carry a mutation which has altered their body in some way.

• Striking Appendage: You can morph your arms into tentacles, enhancing your unarmed strikes. You can change your arms into tentacles as part of your attack, if you hit with them, you deal Bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier. Your reach is also increased to 10ft when using your tentacles.
• Sticky Fingers: You can control the stickiness of your hands, granting you a climbing speed equal to your walking speed. You also gain advantage on any checks pertaining to climbing.
• Grappling Claw: You can morph one or both hands into large, pincer-like appendages. When you are grappling a creature, you may leave one hand free.
• Amphibious: You can absorb oxygen through your skin, granting you the ability to breathe air and water, and you have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.
• Pliable Body: Your body is amazingly soft, yet durable. You gain resistance to Bludgeoning damage and you may subtract up to 20ft from the damage when calculating fall damage.
• Thick Skin: Your skin in places is hardened and sturdy. Your base AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier while not wearing armor.
• Acid Spit: When you take the Attack action, you can replace one of your attacks with a spray of acid from glands in your mouth, targeting one creature you can see within 30ft of you. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d10 Acid damage on a failure and half on a success. The DC for this ability is equal to 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus and regain uses after a long rest.
• Molten Blood: Your blood runs hot, resulting in a very warm body. When you are hit with a melee weapon attack within 5ft of you, the attacker takes Fire damage equal to 1d4 + your Constitution modifier.
• Bioluminescence: As an action, you can make light dance across your skin in various patterns and colors, controlling this light in any way you wish. When you do so, you will emit dim light in a 15ft radius around you.
• Quick Learning: You gain proficiency in one skill of your choice.

At 5th level, and again at 9th level another mutation forms. Choose a different mutation or roll 1d10, rerolling for mutations you already have.
