Subraces
Eredar
Eredar are the original race of the draenei. Few remain as most have either joined the draenei or the man'ari.
Use arcane talent and hardy for eredar. Thaumic engineer and unintegrated can also be a fitting option.
Man'ari
Man'ari eredar have been twisted by fel magic into demons. Most serve the burning legion but a few have escaped it's influence. Unlike most eredar, man'ari generally have red skin but some have purple, gray, or other colors of skin. Man'ari are infused with brilliant green fel energy that replaces the color of their eyes but also leaks through cracks in their skin but also marring their skin with numerous pockmarks.
Man'ari eredar are outsiders with the native subtype instead of being humanoids like their kin, though they retain the eredar subtype and are treated as eredar for all purposes. This also grants them darkvision, allowing them to see clearly in darkness to a range of 60 feet. They lose the shadow resistance trait and gain the fel magic and unintegrated alternate racial traits. Thaumic engineer may also be a fitting option as man'ari rarely work with the magical crystals used anciently by their people or by their draenic brethren.
Alternate Racial Traits
Thaumic Engineer
Some draenei and eredar focus more on operating and repairing the magical technology that their people possess than on their use of gems. These draenei receive a +1 racial bonus to Knowledge (engineering) and Spellcraft checks. This bonus increases to +2 when in regards to magical technology.
This replaces gemcutting.
Demon Slayer
Draenei that focus on martial combat often become accustomed to battling their eternal foes, The Burning Legion. These individuals gain a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls and a +2 dodge bonus to AC against demons.
This replaces shadow resistance.
Hardy
Those that are less accustomed to battling the Burning Legion tend to have more generalized resistances instead of the rather targeted ones possessed by their brethren. These individuals gain a +2 racial bonus on saving throws against poison, spells, and spell-like abilities.
This replaces shadow resistance.
Arcane Talent
Some draenei or draenei are better at channeling the arcane instead of the light. These individuals treat their caster level as one higher when casting arcane spells of a school chosen at character creation.
This replaces gift of the naaru.
Fel Magic
Instead of the gift of the light, the power of demons flows through your body. If a draenei with this trait is a sorcerer with the Abyssal or Infernal bloodline, they treats their caster level as 1 higher when casting bonus spells and bloodline powers. This trait does not give the draenei of this race early access to level-based powers; it only affects powers that they could already use without this trait. The draenei also gains death knell as a spell-like ability once per day.
This replaces gift of the naaru.
Unintegrated
Many draenei and eredar have spent little time on Azeroth and thus do not speak the native languages. These individuals start speaking Eredun. Those with a high Intelligence may know Common, Darnassian, Draenei, and Orcish.
This replaces languages.
