Astral Elf FAQ
What is an Astral Elf?
Astral Elf is a playable Elf species from Spelljammer: Adventures in Space. Its traits reflect life connected to the Astral Plane: flexible ability-score increases, Darkvision, Fey Ancestry, Keen Senses, a divine-flavored cantrip through Astral Fire, a limited-use 30-foot teleport through Starlight Step, and Astral Trance, which combines a four-hour conscious long rest with flexible proficiency choices.
