Weaveborn

Physical Description

Weaveborn radiate an almost visible magic aura (based on the subrace chosen).

Born from the Weave itself, you always understood it, and embraced magic. Weaveborns have the innate power to fly, sustaining themselves with magic or magical translucent wings. They are either born from Gods or created by magical experiments or disaster

Society

Weaveborns don't have a proper society, instead they are often alone. They care about magic, and stand against those who use it in a way opposite than what they use it for. (A Necromancer Weaveborn would stand against Clerics and Paladins who aim to destroy Undeads)
