Mirror-folk playable race
Mirror-folk are strange creatures, capable of ignoring physics. They can perform unnatural acts, despite having nothing in their body that would allow for such abilities. After performing an autopsy on one, it was revealed that they don’t even have organs, veins, or muscles.
- Ability Score Increase: Your ability scores each increase by 1.
- Age: Mirror-folk reach adulthood at the age of 60 and generally live for about 300 years, however, they don’t have facial features or skin, so they don’t actually show signs of age other than size.
- Size: Mirror-folk range from 4 to 7 feet tall and weigh from 100 to 150 pounds. Your size is Medium.
- Speed: Your base walking speed is 35 feet.
- Languages: You can read, write, speak, and understand Common and one extra language of your choice.
- Purity of defence: You gain resistance to one damage type of your choice other than bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing
- Shatter susceptibility: You take double damage from effects that deal double damage to objects and structures.
- Purity of movement: You can move normally while moving through difficult terrain. Additionally, you can climb difficult surfaces, including walls and ceilings, and you do not need to use your hands for this. Your climbing speed is equal to your walking speed.
- Purity of vision: You gain blind-sight to a range of 30 feet, and have standard vision outside of that range.
- Purity of life: You lack a mouth and therefore don’t need to breathe or eat to survive, however, airborne poisons still affect you. Additionally, you don’t need sleep. Instead, you meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. After resting in this way, you gain any benefit that you would receive from completing a long rest.
As was the case last time, feel free to adapt this race to better fit your campaign setting!

Someone a while back on the red site had this idea for a plane of Fog & Mirrors. These beings might work as denizens of such a place.
I came up with a few (typically NPC) creatures to fit such a setting:
