Nyxad
N
yxads are the descendents of the sacred
union between the goddess Nyx and the
Sylph Evelyn. Their types are humanoid
and fey, and though some exist on the
material plane, they originate from the
Shroud, the Dark Space between planes.
Nyxad Traits
You nyxad character has certain characteristics in common
with all other nyxads.
Ability Score Increase. Your Dexterity increases by 2, and
your Intelligence increases by 1.
Age. As humanoids related to the fey, nyxads are virtually
ageless. A nyxad reaches physical maturity at 24, and no
longer agees afterward. Nyxads can not die due to advanced
age.
Darkvision. Blessed with a mixture of divine and nymph
blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions.
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were
bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't
discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Energetic. Nyxads don't need to sleep as long as most
other races. Instead, they sleep for 4 hours a day. While
sleeping in this fashion, they gain the same benefit as a
human long resting for 8 hours and dream normally. If you
sleep this way during a long rest, you finish the rest after only
4 hours. You otherwise obey all the rules for a long rest; only
the duration is changed.
Keen Senses. You have proficiency in the Perception skill.
Languages. Common, Sylvan
Shadow Blending. As a creature of the Shroud, nyxads
have the ability to meld with darkness. Nyxads can attempt to
hide while in dim or darker light as though they are unseen.

Size. Nyxads are smaller and lighter than humans,
standing around 5 feet tall and averaging 100 pounds. Your
size is Medium.

determining your ability to squeeze into tight spaces.
