Mori's Astral Elves

I have not forgotten about this mod! I'm waiting on Patch 8, then plan to update it!

Mori's Astral Elves

This is my own person take on the Astral Elf subrace from Spelljammer!  Astral Elves are a type of elf that separated from the others long ago, leaving the Feywild to travel to the Astral Plane to be closer to their gods. This has given them a piece of the light of the Astral Plane inside them, which manifests as a starry gleam in their eyes.  They can be found in various planes where elf deities reside, as well as Spelljammer ports all over the Astral Sea.

There are several other mods out there that add Astral Elves, but I made this not only to ease myself into how modding works for BG3, but also because none of the existing Astral Elf mods matched my personal tastes.  Feel free to give the others a try if you don't prefer this one!  Compatibility and immersion are two big priorities for me, so I'm hoping the end product feels like it was it was part of your game all along!

This mod was designed to be simple and close to vanilla, mostly as a way of getting my feet wet with BG3 modding. As such it uses vanilla assets and colors. They're not featureless though, because of the fact they're a subrace of the vanilla Elf race, which means they can use any Elf CC you might have installed.  I also added overrides to the vanilla heads (for the Astral Elf race only) that lets their eyes glow to really complete the Astral Elf look.  As of 1. 2, I've included material overrides for a lot of popular head mods from all over the nexus (with permission).  There is also a patch for Eyes of the Beholder in the optional files.

This version of the Astral Elves is designed to be quite close to RAW (rules as written).  The biggest difference is that their Astral Trance ability was replaced by the vanilla Astral Knowledge action (from the Githyanki) for simplicity's sake.  I may revisit this ability later, but I feel it fulfills the intended function for now.  Their racial features (in addition to the main elf features) are:

• []Abilities: +2 Charisma, +1 Dexterity (RAW)   Removed in v1. 1 for balance. Larian switched ASI gain to Class instead of Race, which I wasn't aware of when making this.

• []Astral Fire: Learn one of the following cantrips of your choice: dancing lights, light, or sacred flame (RAW)

• []Keen Senses: You gain proficiency in the Perception skill. (RAW)

  []Starlight Step: As a bonus action, you can magically teleport up to 9m (30ft) to an unoccupied space you can see. You can use
