Eladrin (Fey)

4 variants

Transformed due to prolonged exposure to the Feywild, the Fey Eladrin were born. They adapted more Fey abilities than their Celestial Eladrin counterparts and lost their secondary forms. They change with the seasons and their emotions can change their forms.

Seasonal Beings of Emotion

Fey Eladrin are more slender than most Eladrin and their eyes shine with inner Fey magic. They can change their appearance based on their moods, the season, or stay the same. Their appearance reflects their moods and their moods reflect their appearance. For instance a Winter Eladrin’s looks and moods would both be cold and icy. Some Fey Eladrin may choose to stay their entire lives in the same season while others may change each day.

Fey at Heart

Though they can change their looks and their moods, Fey Eladrin are more Fey than most Eladrin and most Elves as well. They love beauty and freedom. They desire to be beautiful and surround themselves in beauty. Many Fey Eladrin lose their connection to the material plane and stay their whole lives there. Secretly many Fey Eladrin hope and believe that they can one day be reincarnated as a member of one of the courts of the Fey.

Finding Joy in Exile

The Fey Eladrin ended up in the Fey as a result of the conflict between Correleon and Lolth. Fundamentally they are refugees though they have a new home. As such, Fey Eladrin defend the Feywild and uphold the virtues of the Fey and the Feywild with more zeal than the natural inhabitants. Those that meddle with the Fey or the Feywild will find themselves facing the ire of the Fey Eladrin.

Fey Ancestry

You have advantage on saving throws against being Charmed, and magic can't put you to sleep.

Trance

Eladrin do not sleep. Instead they meditate deeply, remaining semi-conscious, for 4 hours a day. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit a human would from 8 hours of sleep.

Fey Step

As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 30 ft to an unoccupied space you can see. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Your Fey Step gains an additional effect based on your season; if the effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your INT, WIS, or CHA modifier (Minimum 1) Choose when you select this race. (Your tertiary race may change in extreme circumstances, discuss with your DM)

Changing Seasons

After 3rd level you can change the season you represent during a long rest. The change should be indicative of your mental state or have some other reasoning that should be discussed with your DM, otherwise it may be necessary to limit yourself to one season.
