Eladrin WillYou gain a +1 racial bonus to your Will defense.
In addition, you gain a +5 racial bonus to saving throws against charm effects.

Fey OriginYour ancestors were native to the Feywild, so you are considered a fey creature for the purpose of effects that relate to creature origin.

TranceRather than sleep, eladrin enter a meditative state known as trance. You need to spend 4 hours in this state to gain the same benefits other races gain from taking a 6-hour extended rest. While in a trance, you are fully aware of your surroundings and notice approaching enemies and other events as normal.

Fey StepYou can use fey step as an encounter power.

With a step, you vanish from one place and appear in another.

Eff Teleport up to 5 sq (see “Teleportation,” page 286).

Creatures of magic with strong ties to nature, eladrin live in cities in the twilight realm of the Feywild. Their cities lie close enough to the world that they sometimes cross over, appearing briefly in mountain valleys or deep forest glades before fading back into the Feywild.

Play an eladrin if you want…

to be otherworldly and mysterious.
to be graceful and intelligent.
to teleport around the battlefield, cloaked in the magic of the Feywild.
to be a member of a race that favors the wizard, rogue, and warlord classes.

Racial Paragon Path: Shiere Knight

“By the court of the Summer Queen, you shall pay for your transgressions!”

Prerequisite: Eladrin

Most noble eladrin, including bralani and ghaeles such as those described in the Monster Manual, are prominent figures in their houses, lords and ladies who have positions of authority over the lesser members of their houses. A few eladrin heroes, however, champion the cause of their race as a whole, rather than of any particular house. Though they are often anointed by house nobles, these shiere knights are free agents, beholden to no particular house and dedicated to protecting the eladrin from fomorians, spriggans, and other hostile denizens of the Feywild.

Becoming a shiere knight involves more than attaining a title. As a champion of your race, you become a living embodiment of the power of the Feywild. Your appearance is marked by a sign of the fey power within you: a faint glow that outlines your frame and burns in your eyes, an eldritch wind that constantly stirs the air around you, or some other manifestation of your otherworldly nature. You can channel this power to beguile your foes or drive them off in fear.

Shiere Knight Path Features

Blessed of the Fey (11th level): Whenever you are affected by a charm effect that a save can end, you can make a saving throw against the effect at the start of your turn. If you don’t save, you can make another saving throw against the effect at the end of your turn.

Fey Leap Action (11th level): You can spend an action point to teleport 10 squares, instead of taking an extra action.

Cloaked in Magic (16th level): Whenever you teleport, you gain a +2 bonus to all defenses until the start of your next turn.
