Score: 9
Idea: Psionics the race. Beings that left behind their mortal shell long ago, the X exist as humanoid molts of energy that travel through the astral plane in colonies.

Age.
Alignment.
Size. X vary widely in height and build, from barely 5 feet to well over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 25 feet. You have a hover speed of 30 feet.
Float. A X doesn't walk but floats just above the ground below them. You float a few feet above the ground at a speed of 30 feet. This allows you to ignore most forms of difficult terrain and makes you immune to being knocked prone. However, you can float no higher than 5 feet and when you are reduced to 0 hit points you stop hovering. In addition, due to the fact X hardly walk, preferring to float, your base walking speed is 25 feet.
Telekinetic. You know the mage hand cantrip, and the hand is invisible when you cast the cantrip with this trait.
Telekinesis. Upon reaching an Intelligence score of 19, you've learnt to you can focus your mind to a greater degree allowing for more powerful form of your races telekinesis for a limited time. As long as your Intelligence score is at least 19 you can cast the telekinesis spell once with this trait, requiring no material components, and you regain the ability to use this trait when you finish a long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for this spell.
Telepath. You can communicate mentally with another creature that knows at least one language within a 60 foot radius. This creature doesn't need to share a language with you but unless they have telepathy themselves they can only receive and respond but can't initiate or terminate a telepathic conversation. You must be conscious to use this trait and cannot telepathically communicate with multiple creatures at once. In addition, you can perceive the content of any telepathic communication within range of your telepathy and cannot be surprised by a creature with any form of telepathy.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.

- I really like this race design. I think just in the traits alone there’s flavor and the potential is exciting. BigShotFancyMan (talk) 08:13, 4 June 2018 (MDT)
