Children of Light: Rekindled
A Rendition Created by GrimUlkoves
Child of Light
Champions of light from the Plane of Dreams, the Children of Light are spirits on a ceaseless journey of rekindling hope across the multiverse. Naturally playful, a Child of Light is reminiscent of a humanoid child in appearance, although these spiritual beings oft come in many shapes, colors, and sizes. The most overarching detail between all Children of Light are their silver hair and embedded gems in their forehead.
A Child of Light appears when a world is under duress from the darkness and nightmares they seek to extinguish. Wielding the power of the Plane of Positive Energy, the Children of Light stand against the bleak and inspire positivity in the conflicts they intervene in. When they complete their goal, a Child of Light abandons their physical vessel and return to their home plane, turning their physical body to stone.
In many cultures across the multiverse, the Children of Light are described as helpful spirit guides and are acquainted with signs of good fortune, hope, and fertility.
Ability Score Increase
Your Charisma score increases by 2 and your Wisdom score increases by 1.
Age
A Child of Light is borne fully mature, as their spirits are older than even most civilizations. The physical vessel of a Child, however, usually lives 2 to 3 years, often being reincarnated upon their unfortunate demise or natural degradation.
Alignment
The wanderlust and whimsy of a Child of Light often lead to almost all Children being of a Good alignment in their eternal odyssey of restoring hope and good.
Size
Your size is Small. To set your height and weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:
Size modifier = 3d12
Height = 2 feet + 8 inches + your size modifier in inches
Weight in pounds = 50 + (1d6 × your size modifier)
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Creature Type
Your creature type counts as both a Humanoid and Celestial.
Cloak Wings
Your physical form is always shrouded by a magical cloak that offers you magical mobility. You have a magical 40ft Fly (Glide) speed. This special movement speed allows you to effectively fly, although you descend 5ft for every 20ft you move. Also, if you end your turn in the air, you descend an additional 10ft. You cannot take flight from the ground using your Glide speed.
As a bonus action, you can propel yourself 20ft straight into the air from standing. You can do this a number of times equal to your Proficiency modifier, regaining all expended uses whenever you finish a long rest.
When you fall, you can use your reaction to make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 10) to stop falling and fly in place until the start of your next turn.
Expressive Persona
You have proficiency in the Performance skill. You also gain proficiency in a musical instrument of your choice.
Brave
You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.
Cleansing Light
You know the Light and Produce Flame cantrips. At 3rd level, you can cast Cure Wounds as a 2nd-level spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast Lesser Restoration spell once with this trait and regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Charisma is your spellcasting modifier for all spells.
Empathic Telepathy
You can speak telepathically to any creature you can see, provided the creature is within a number of feet of you equal to 10 times your level. You dont need to share a language with the creature for it to understand your telepathic utterances, but the creature must be able to understand at least one language.
This telepathy can only communicate simple ideas, straightfoward expressions, and feelings.
Language
You can speak, read, and write Celestial. Children of Light can read and write Common, but they cannot speak it.
