The most common of the plane-touched are the elemental plane-touched, but arcanists don’t call them by this name. In academic circles that study the arcane, these are referred to instead as “evocation-born”. They are common because of the influence of the Genii, and the effect of Aureum on mortal lives, but arcaneborn of different schools are very much possible, albeit much rarer.
Arcaneborn Features:
Creature Type: Humanoid
Size: Medium (about 4 to 7 feet tall) or Small (about 3 to 4 feet tall), chosen when you select this race.
Speed: 30 feet.
Darkvision: You have Darkvision with a range of 120 feet.
Arcane Imprint: Magic has left an indelible mark on you. Choose one of the following benefits, corresponding to the school of magic of the spell that left an imprint on you, as an arcane boon from your exposure to the highest levels of magic.
| Trait | Description |
|---|---|
| Aquatic | You can breath both air and water. In addition you also have a Climb speed equal to your Walking speed |
| Climber and Burrower | Ave a Climb Speed and Burrowing Speed equal to half your Walking Speed. |
| Darkvision | You have Darkvision up to a range of 60 Feet |
| Nimble | Your Walking Speed increases to 35 Feet. |
Spellbound: Depending on your Arcane Imprint, you inherently know how to cast a set of specific spells. When you choose an Arcane Imprint, you gain the level 1 benefit of the chosen imprint in the table below. When you reach character levels 3 and 4, you learn a higher-level spell, as shown on the table. You always have that spell prepared. You can cast it once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in that way when you finish a Long Rest. You can also cast the spell using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.
Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spell-casting ability for the spells you cast with this trait (choose the ability when you select the imprint).
