Size

You are Medium or Small.

Darkvision

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 discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.

Earth Walk

You can move across difficult terrain without expending extra movement if you are using your walking speed on the ground or a floor.

Earthen Disciple

You know the blade ward cantrip. You can cast it as normal, and you can also cast it as a bonus action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest. Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the earth tremor spell with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast the dust devil and Maximillian’s earthen grasp spell with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast dust devil or Maximillian’s earthen grasp with this trait, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast either of those spells using any spell slots you have of the appropriate level.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

Earth Glide

You have a burrowing speed equal to your walking speed and can burrow through nonmagical, unworked earth and stone. While doing so, you don’t disturb the material you moves through.

Sure-Footed

You have advantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws made against effects that would knock you prone

Description:

Tracing their ancestry to dao, the earth genies of Arcanus , daoborn inherit dao’s steadfast strength and control over earth. A daoborns skin can be the colors of stone and earth or a human skin tone with glittering sparkles like gem dust. Some daoborn have lines marking their skin like cracks, either showing glimmering gemlike veins or a dim, yellowish glow. Daoborn hair can appear carved of stone or crystal or resemble strands of spun metal. Most show subtle abnormal resemblances of their Dao parent.
