<center><h1><u>A World of Many Faces</u></h1></center><div class="FancyFirst">

Welcome to the world of Alyria, an open world of varied cultures and peoples, each with its own fables, myths, and legends. First and foremost, this is a world of stories. Stories to be told, to evolve and change, to rewrite themselves again and again with each passing generation. The following supplement is one I have designed for use in my own personal games of D&D set within my homebrew setting of Alyria. That said, almost everything in this pdf is meant to be setting neutral and should seemlessly port into other settings.</div>

A visit to one of the great cities in the worlds of Dungeons & Dragons—Waterdeep, the Free City of Greyhawk, or even uncanny Sigil, the City of Doors overwhelms the senses. Voices chatter in countless different languages. The smells of cooking in dozens of different cuisines mingle with the odors of crowded streets and poor sanitation. Buildings in myriad architectural styles display the diverse origins of their inhabitants.

And the people themselves—people of varying size, shape, and color, dressed in a dazzling spectrum of styles and hues—represent many different races, from diminutive Halflings and Stout Dwarves to majestically beautiful Elves, mingling among a variety of Human ethnicities.

Scattered among the members of these more common races are the true exotics: a hulking Dragonborn here, pushing his way through the crowd, and a sly Tiefling there, lurking in the shadows with mischief in her eyes. A group of Gnomes laughs as one of them activates a clever wooden toy that moves of its own accord. Half-elves and Half-Orcs live and work alongside Humans, without fully belonging to the races of either of their parents.

### Choosing a Race
Humans are the most common people in the worlds of D&D, but they live and work alongside Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, and countless other fantastic species. Your character belongs to one of these peoples.

Not every intelligent race of the multiverse is appropriate for a player-controlled adventurer. Dwarves, Elves, Halflings, and Humans are the most common races to produce the sort of adventurers who make up typical parties. Other races and subraces are less common as adventurers.

Your choice of race affects many different aspects of your character. It establishes fundamental qualities that exist throughout your character's adventuring career. When making this decision, keep in mind the kind of character you want to play. For example, a Halfling could be a good choice for a sneaky rogue, a dwarf makes a tough warrior, and an Elf can be a master of arcane magic.

Your character race not only affects your ability scores and traits but also provides the cues for building your character's story. Each race's description in this chapter includes information to help you roleplay a character of that race, including personality, physical appearance, features of society, and racial alignment tendencies.

#### Racial Traits
The description of each race includes racial traits that are common to members of that race. The following entries appear among the traits of most races.

**Ability Scores.** Every race increases a number of your character's ability scores. See the Alternate Ability Score Rules below for additional options.

**Age.** The age entry notes the age when a member of the race is considered an adult and the race's expected lifespan.

**Size.** Characters of most races are Medium, a size category including creatures that are roughly 4 to 8 feet tall. Members of some races are Small (between 2 and 4 feet tall), which means that certain rules of the game affect them differently such as carrying capacity, movement speed, etc.

**Speed.** Your speed determines how far you can move when traveling and fighting. See Chapters 8 & 9 of the Player's Handbook for a breakdown of movement speeds.

**Languages.** By virtue of your race, your character can speak, read, and write certain languages. Chapter 4 lists the most common languages of the D&D multiverse. See the Alternate Language Rules below for additional options.

**Subraces.** Some races have subraces. Members of a subrace have the traits of the parent race in addition to the traits of their subrace. Relationships among subraces vary significantly from race to race and world to world.

In the Dragonlance campaign setting, for example, mountain Dwarves and hill Dwarves live together as different clans of the same people, but in the Forgotten Realms, they live far apart in separate kingdoms and call themselves shield Dwarves and gold Dwarves, respectively.

Though they stand well under 5 feet tall, Dwarves are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as a Human standing nearly two feet taller. Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger folk.|
|*Elves*|Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in places of ethereal beauty, in the midst of ancient forests or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze.|

|*Goliaths*|Few folk can claim to have seen a Goliath, and fewer still can claim friendship with one. Goliaths wander a bleak realm of rock, wind, and cold. Their bodies look as if they are carved from mountain stone and give them great physical power.|
|*Half-Dwarves*|Walking between the ambitious world of the Human and the traditional world of the Dwarf, Half-Dwarves are constantly torn by their dual heritage. Half-Dwarves are rare, both due to the unlikeliness of a Human and Dwarf coupling and the fact that such couplings rarely produce offspring.|

|*Half-Orcs*|Some Half-Orcs rise to become proud chiefs of Orc tribes, their Human blood giving them an edge over their full-blooded Orc rivals. Some venture into the world to prove their worth among Humans and other more civilized races. Many of these become adventurers, achieving greatness for their mighty deeds and notoriety for their barbaric customs and savage fury.|
|*Halflings*|The diminutive Halflings survive in a world full of larger creatures by avoiding notice or, barring that, avoiding offense. Standing about 3 feet tall, they appear relatively harmless and so have managed to survive for centuries in the shadow of empires and on the edges of wars and political strife.|
|*Humans*|Humans are the youngest of the common races, late to arrive on the world scene and short-lived in comparison to Dwarves, Elves, and dragons. Perhaps it is because of their shorter lives that they strive to achieve as much as they can in the years they are given. Or maybe they feel they have something to prove to the elder races, and that's why thy build they mighty empires on the foundations of conquest and trade. Whatever drives them, Humans are the innovators, the achievers, and the pioneers of the world.|

### Alternate Ability Score Increases

If you'd like your character to follow their own path, you may ignore your Ability Score Increase trait(s) and assign ability score increases tailored to your character.

To do this, take any ability score increase you gain in your race or subrace and apply it to an ability score of your choice. If you gain more than one increase, you can't apply those increases to the same ability score, and you can't increase a score above 20.

For example, if the Ability Score Increase trait of your race or subrace increases your Constitution by 2 and your Wisdom by 1, you could instead increase your Intelligence by 2 and your Charisma by 1.

### Alternate Language Proficiencies

In order to better emulate the intricacies of language and culture, this alternate ruling may be instated for language proficiencies.

**Fluency Level.** In place of automatically being proficient in a given language, one's fluency in any language exists on a percentage scale from 0 to 100. Be sure to mark the percentage tied to each language you know separately. This number represents your Fluency Level.

**Language Checks.** When interacting with a language that you are not 100% fluent in, roll 1d100. When rolling below your Fluency Level, you are able to successfully translate a given interaction whether it be a conversation, text, etc.

**Languages Known.** At 1st level, your character may be 100% fluent in a number of languages equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). It is recommended that one of these languages is Common. From here, place your additional language proficiencies in order from which you wish to be most fluent in to least fluent in. For each additional language you know, you lose 20% fluency in that language (minimum of 20%).

For example, a 1st level character with 14 Intelligence may start with the following language proficiencies: Common, Dwarven, Elven, Gnomish, and Infernal. In this instance, they would start the game with two languages at 100% fluency (Common and Dwarven), whereas their leftover languages would be placed in order of their importance to the character and lose fluency as follows: Gnomish (80%), Elven (60%), Infernal (40%).

**Increasing Fluency.** For each week that you spend regularly studying and/or practicing a given language, you may increase your Fluency Level by 5%. You may only increase one language in this way at a time.

familiar voice. Bruenor Battlehammer walked up the back of his dead foe, disregarding the fact that the heavy monster lay on top of his Elvenfriend. In spite of the added discomfort, the Dwarf's long, pointed, often-broken nose and graystreaked though still-fiery red beard came as a welcame sight to Drizzt. "Knew I'd find ye in trouble if I came out an' looked for ye!"
<p style="text-align: right;">— R. A. Salvatore, The Crystal Shard</p>

</br>
-->

Kingdoms rich in ancient grandeur, halls carved into the roots of mountains, the echoing of picks and hammers in deep mines and blazing forges, a commitment to clan and tradition, and a burning hatred of Goblins and Orcs — these common threads unite all Dwarves.

### Short and Stout
Bold and hardy, Dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. Though they stand well under 5 feet tall, Dwarves are so broad and compact that they can weigh as much as a Human standing nearly two feet taller. Their courage and endurance are also easily a match for any of the larger folk.

Dwarven skin ranges from deep brown to a paler hue tinged with red, but the most common shades are light brown or deep tan, like certain tones of earth.

Their hair, worn long but in simple styles, is usually black, gray, or brown, though paler Dwarves often have red hair. Male Dwarves value their beards highly and groom them carefully.

### Long Memory, Long Grudges
Dwarves can live to be more than 400 years old, so the oldest living Dwarves often remember a very different world.

For example, some of the oldest Dwarves living in Bal-Bofgal can recall the day, more than three centuries ago, when Orcs conquered the fortress and drove them into an exile that lasted over 250 years. This longevity grants them a perspective on the world that shorter-lived races such as Humans and Halflings lack.

Dwarves are solid and enduring like the mountains they love, weathering the passage of centuries with stoic endurance and little change. They respect the traditions of their clans, tracing their ancestry back to the founding of their most ancient strongholds in the youth of the world, and don't abandon those traditions lightly.

Part of those traditions is devotion to the gods of the Dwarves, who uphold the Dwarven ideals of industrious labor, skill in battle, and devotion to the forge.

Individual Dwarves are determined and loyal, true to their word and decisive in action, sometimes to the point of stubbornness. Many Dwarves have a strong sense of justice, and they are slow to forget wrongs they have suffered.

A wrong done to one Dwarf is a wrong done to the Dwarf's entire clan, so what begins as one Dwarf's hunt for vengeance can become a full-blown clan feud.

### Clans and Kingdoms
Dwarven kingdoms stretch deep beneath the mountains where the Dwarves mine gems and precious metals and forge items of wonder.

They love the beauty and artistry of precious metals and fine jewelry, and in some Dwarves this love festers into avarice. Whatever wealth they can't find in their mountains, they gain through trade.

They dislike boats, so enterprising Humans and Halflings frequently handle trade in Dwarven goods along water routes. Trustworthy members of other races are welcome in Dwarf settlements, though some areas are often off limits.

<br>

> ##### Slow to Trust
>
> Dwarves get along passably well with most other races. "The difference between an acquaintance and a friend is about a hundred years," is a Dwarf saying that might be hyperbole, but certainly points to how difficult it can be for a member of a short-lived race like Humans to earn a Dwarf's trust.
>
> **Elves.** "It's not wise to depend on the Elves. They're flighty and frivolous. Two things to be said for them, though: They don't have many smiths, but the ones they have do very fine work. And when Orcs or Goblins come streaming down out of the mountains, an Elf's good to have at your back. Not as good as a Dwarf, maybe, but no doubt they hate the Orcs as much as we do."
>
> **Halflings.** "Sure, they're pleasant folk. But show me a Halfling hero. An empire, a triumphant army. Even a treasure for the ages made by Halfling hands. Nothing. How can you take them seriously?"
>
> **Humans.** "You take the time to get to know a human, and by then the human's on her deathbed. If you're lucky, she's got kin — a daughter or granddaughter, maybe — who's got hands and heart as good as hers. That's when you can make a Human friend. And watch 
them go! They set their hearts on something, they'll get it, whether it's a dragon's hoard or an empire's throne. You have to admire that kind of dedication, even if it gets them in trouble more often than not."

### Gods, Gold, and Clan
Dwarves who take up the adventuring life might be motivated by a desire for treasure — for its own sake, for a specific purpose, or even out of an altruistic desire to help others.

Other Dwarves are driven by the command or inspiration of a deity, a direct calling or simply a desire to bring glory to one of the Dwarf gods. Clan and ancestry are also important motivators. A Dwarf might seek to restore a clan's lost honor, avenge an ancient wrong the clan suffered, or earn a new place within the clan after having been exiled, or a Dwarf might search for the axe wielded by a mighty ancestor, lost on the field of battle centuries ago.

### Dwarf Names
A Dwarf's name is granted by a clan elder, in accordance with tradition. Every proper Dwarven name has been used and reused down through the generations for one's name belongs to the clan, not to the individual. A Dwarf who misuses or brings shame to a clan name is stripped of the name and forbidden by law to use any Dwarven name in its place.

### Dwarf Traits
Your Dwarf character has an assortment of inborn abilities, part and parcel of Dwarven nature.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Dwarves mature at the same rate as Humans, but they’re considered young until they reach the age of 50. On average, they live about 400 years on average.

***Size.*** Dwarves stand between 4 and 5 feet tall and average about 150 pounds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor.

***Darkvision.*** Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

***Dwarven Resilience.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.

***Dwarven Combat Training.*** You have proficiency with battleaxes, handaxes, light hammers, and warhammers. Once per turn, when you hit with an attack using one of these weapons, you can choose to deal additional damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

***Cunning Artisan.*** You have proficiency in your choice of one of the following artisan’s tools: Brewer’s Supplies, Mason’s Tools, Jeweler's Tools, or Smith’s Tools.

If you are already proficient in the given skill, you may instead add double your Proficiency Bonus to the check.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Dwarvish. Dwarvish is full of hard consonants and guttural sounds, and those characteristics spill over into whatever other language a Dwarf might speak.

***Subrace.*** Five main subraces of Dwarves populate the world: Mountain Dwarves, Hill Dwarves, Coastal Dwarves, Stone Dwarves, and Forge Dwarves.

#### Mountain Dwarves

Mountain Dwarves are accustomed to a life in the ancient mountain citadels of their kin. These strongholds have stood against the test of time for thousands of years, forever preserving their vast histories and storied traditions within the runic stonework of their ancestors.

Life within the citadel has always been one of order and discipline, where every Dwarf had his place and duty, holding at bay the many enemies from above and below that strive to take or destroy the treasures and achievements of their Dwarven ancestors.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 2.

***Dwarven Toughness.*** Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

***Of Many Trades.*** When selecting a type of artisan’s tool to benefit from your Cunning Artisan trait, you may choose an additional tool from the provided list.

#### Hill Dwarves

Hill Dwarves are accustomed to a life close to, or a part of, the surface world as well as the other races that live there. Usually less strict in their traditions, they have an easier time interacting with foreign cultures and integrating themselves into mixed societies.

As such, Hill Dwarves seem to have an easier time enjoying the fruits of their labor rather than merely the labor itself. They like to laugh and celebrate and, for many, life is meant to be enjoyed and good fortune is meant to be shared with friends and family.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.

\columnbreak

***Dwarven Armor Training.*** You have proficiency with light and medium armor.

***Sure of Foot.*** Your walking speed is increased to 30 feet and nonmagical difficult terrain doesn’t cost you additional movement in mountainous or rocky terrain.

***Cunning Traveler.*** When selecting a type of artisan's tool to benefit from your Cunning Artisan trait, you may choose an additional tool from the following list: Cook’s Utensils, Leatherworker's Tools, or Weaver’s Tools.

#### Coastal Dwarves

Not all Dwarvenkind dwell in deep or high places, leading insular lives amongst those of their own kind. Instead, some Dwarven clans have chosen to take to the seas.

With a mastery of the ocean and its many bounties, Coastal Dwarves have always found a sense of solace within the heavy winds and rough waves of an oceanic life. Few Coastal Dwarves spend their entire lives in any one place. The sea is their mistress and she calls them to her as sailors, fishermen, and traders alike.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

***Skilled Sailor.*** You have proficiency in the Athletics skill and Water Vehicles.

***Sea Legs.*** You have advantage on ability checks and saving throws you make to avoid or end the grappled condition on yourself. Additionally, while traveling, you have advantage on Constitution saving throws made to resist exhaustion.

***Cunning Shiphand.*** When selecting a type of artisan's tool to benefit from your Cunning Artisan trait, you may choose an additional tool from the following list: Calligrapher's Supplies, Carpenter’s Tools, Cartographer’s Tools.

\pagebreakNum

#### Stone Dwarves

Few Stone Dwarves, or Duergar, dare become adventurers, fewer still ever even see the surface world for they are a hidebound and suspicious race. Those who leave their subterranean cities are usually exiles.

Duergar live deep in the Underdark. After delving deeper than any other Dwarves, they were enslaved by mind flayers for eons. Although they eventually won their freedom, they now take slaves of their own and are as tyrannical as their former masters.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Superior Darkvision.*** Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 90 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

***Psionic Fortitude.*** You have advantage on all ability checks made to reveal the true nature of an illusion and to avoid or end the charmed or petrified conditions on yourself.

***Crazed Artisan.*** When selecting a type of artisan's tool to benefit from your Cunning Artisan trait, you may choose an additional tool from the following list: Alchemist's Supplies, Tinker's Tools, or Poisoner's Kit.

***Duergar Magic.*** You know the thaumaturgy cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the enlarge/reduce spell and can cast it once, on yourself, with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the invisibility spell and can cast it once, on yourself, with this trait. Once you cast either of these spells with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

***Sunlight Sensitivity.*** Your affinity for the depths has left you vulnerable when traveling the surface world. You have a -2 to all attack rolls, Save DCs, Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, and your Passive Perception score when you, the target of your attacks or spells, or whatever you are trying to perceive are in direct sunlight.

Additionally, you can only spend a limited number of hours in direct sunlight, equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 30 minutes), before having to take a short rest within a shaded area to recover. For every additional hour you spend in direct sunlight, you must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + Number of hours in the sun) or take a level of exhaustion.

#### Forge Dwarves

Forge Dwarves are one with the flame. Touched by the Elemental Plane of Fire, their very souls are imbued with the heat of the furnaces wherein Dwarves work their steel.

Like fire, Forge Dwarves are wild, intense and passionate. Like their ancestral, elemental kin, The Azer, they choose to live, laugh, and love with an utter wildness and endless ferocity, for the heat of the moment never lasts and, if you wait too long, your flame may soon begin to dim.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Inner Flame.*** You have resistance to fire damage. Additionally, you have adapted to hot environments as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

\columnbreak

***Fine Artisan.*** When selecting a type of artisan's tool to benefit from your Cunning Artisan trait, you may choose an additional tool from the following list: Glassblower’s tools, Potter's Tools, or Woodcarver's Tools.

***Illumination.*** Your fiery form naturally sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. You can choose to suppress these flames as a bonus action and may do so for a number of hours equal to your Proficiency Bonus. Additionally, you can light a small fire using any flammable object that you can touch as an object interaction.

## Elves
<!--
"I HAVE NEVER IMAGINED SUCH BEAUTY EXISTED,"
</br>
Goldmoon said softly. The day's march had been difficult, but the reward at the end was beyond their dreams. The companions stood on a high cliff over the fabled city of Qualinost.

Four slender spires rose from the city's corners like glistening spindles, their brilliant white stone marbled with shining silver. Graceful arches, swooping from spire to spire, soared through the air. Crafted by ancient Dwarven metalsmiths, they were strong enough to hold the weight of an army, yet they appeared so delicate that a bird lighting on them might overthrow the balance. These glistening arches were the city's only boundaries; there was no wall around Qualinost. The Elven city opened its arms lovingly to the wilderness.
<p style="text-align: right;">— Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman, Dragons of Autumn Twilight</p>
-->

Elves are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it.

They live in places of ethereal beauty, in the midst of ancient forests or in silvery spires glittering with faerie light, where soft music drifts through the air and gentle fragrances waft on the breeze. Elves love nature and magic, art and artistry, music and poetry, and the good things of the world.

### Slender and Graceful
With their unearthly grace and fine features, Elves appear hauntingly beautiful to Humans and members of many other races. They are slightly shorter than Humans on average, ranging from well under 5 feet tall to just over 6 feet.

They are more slender than Humans, weighing only 100 to 145 pounds. Males and females are about the same height, and males are only marginally heavier than females.

Elves' coloration encompasses the normal Human range and also includes skin in shades of copper, bronze, and almost bluish-white, hair of green or blue, and eyes like pools of liquid gold or silver. Elves have no facial and little body hair. They favor elegant clothing in bright colors, and they enjoy simple yet lovely jewelry.

### A Timeless Perspective
Elves can live well over 700 years, giving them a broad perspective on events that might trouble the shorter lived races more deeply, They are more often amused than excited, and more likely to be curious than greedy.

They tend to remain aloof and unfazed by happenstance. When pursuing a goal, however, whether adventuring on a mission or learning a new skill or art, Elves can be focused and relentless. They are slow to make friends and enemies, and even slower to forget them. They reply to petty insults with disdain and to serious insults with vengeance.

Like the branches of a young tree, Elves are flexible in the face of danger. They trust in diplomacy and compromise to resolve differences before they escalate to violence.

They have been known to retreat from intrusions into their woodland homes, confident that they can simply wait the invaders out. But when the need arises, Elves reveal a stern martial side, demonstrating skill with sword, bow, and strategy.

### Hidden Woodland Elves
Most Elves dwell in small forest villages hidden among the trees. Elves hunt game, gather food, and grow vegetables, and their skill and magic allow them to support themselves without the need for clearing and plowing land.

They are talented artisans, crafting finely worked clothes and works of art. Their contact with outsiders is usually limited, though some make a good living by trading crafted items for metals (which they have no interest in mining).

Elves encountered outside their own lands are commonly traveling minstrels, artists, or sages. Human nobles compete for the services of Elf instructors to teach swordplay or magic to their children.

### Exploration and Adventure
Elves take up adventuring out of wanderlust. Since they are so long-lived, they can enjoy centuries of exploration and discovery. They dislike the pace of Human society, which is regimented from day to day but constantly changing over decades, so they find careers that let them travel freely and set their own pace.

Elves also enjoy exercising their martial prowess or gaining greater magical power, and adventuring allows them to do so. Some might join with rebels fighting against oppression, and others might become champions of moral causes.

### Elf Names
Elves are considered children until they declare themselves adults, some time after the hundredth birthday, and before this period they are called by child names.

On declaring adulthood, an Elf selects an adult name, although those who knew him or her as a youngster might continue to use the child name. Each Elf's adult name is a unique creation, though it might reflect the names of respected individuals or other family members.

Little distinction exists between male names and female names; the groupings here reflect only general tendencies. In addition, every Elf bears a family name, typically a combination of other Elvish words. Some Elves traveling among Humans translate their family names into Common.

### Elf Traits
Your Elf character has a variety of natural abilities, the result of thousands of years of Elven refinement.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Although Elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as Humans, the Elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An Elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.

***Size.*** Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

>
> **Humans.** "All that haste, their ambitions and drive to accomplish something before their brief lives pass away - Human endeavors seem so futile sometimes. But then you look at what they have accomplished, and you have to appreciate their achievements. If only they could slow down and learn some refinement."

\pagebreakNum

## Gnomes

A constant hum of busy activity pervades the warrens and neighborhoods where Gnomes form their closely knit communities.

Louder sounds punctuate the hum: a crunch of grinding gears here, a minor explosion there, a yelp of surprise or triumph, and especially bursts of laughter. Gnomes take delight in all that life has to offer, enjoying every moment of invention, exploration, investigation, creation, and play.

### Vibrant Expression
A Gnome's energy and enthusiasm for living shines through every inch of his or her tiny body. Gnomes average slightly over 3 feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds.

Their tan or brown faces are usually adorned with broad smiles (beneath their prodigious noses), and their bright eyes shine with excitement. Their fair hair has a tendency to stick out in every direction, as if expressing the Gnome's insatiable interest in everything around.

### Delighted Dedication
As far as Gnomes are concerned, being alive is a wonderful thing, and they squeeze every ounce of enjoyment out of their three to five centuries of life.

\columnbreak

Humans might wonder about getting bored over the course of such a long life, and Elves take plenty of time to savor the beauties of the world in their long years, but Gnomes seem to worry that even with all that time, they can't get in enough of the things they want to do and see.

Gnomes speak as if they can't get the thoughts out of their heads fast enough. Even as they offer ideas and opinions on a range of subjects, they still manage to listen carefully to others, adding the appropriate exclamations of surprise and appreciation along the way.

Though Gnomes love jokes of all kinds, particularly puns and pranks, they're just as dedicated to the more serious tasks they undertake. Many Gnomes are skilled engineers, alchemists, tinkers, and inventors. They're willing to make mistakes and laugh at themselves in the process of perfecting what they do, taking bold (sometimes foolhardy) risks and dreaming large.

### Bright Burrows
Gnomes make their homes in hilly, wooded lands. They live underground but get more fresh air than Dwarves do, enjoying the natural, living world on the surface whenever they can. Their homes are well hidden by both clever construction and simple illusions.

Welcome visitors are quickly ushered into the bright, warm burrows. Those who are not welcome are unlikely to find the burrows in the first place.

Gnomes who settle in Human lands are commonly gemcutters, engineers, sages, or tinkers. Some Human families retain Gnome tutors, ensuring that their pupils enjoy a mix of serious learning and delighted enjoyment. A Gnome might tutor severaI generations of a single Human family over the course of his or her long life.

### Seeing the World
Curious and impulsive, Gnomes might take up adventuring as a way to see the world or for the love of exploring.

As lovers of gems and other fine items, some Gnomes take to adventuring as a quick, if dangerous, path to wealth. Regardless of what spurs them to adventure, Gnomes who adopt this way of life eke as much enjoyment out of it as they do out of any other activity they undertake, sometimes to the great annoyance of their adventuring companions.

### Gnome Names
Gnomes love names, and most have half a dozen or so. A Gnome's mother, father, clan elder, aunts, and uncles each give the Gnome a name, and various nicknames from just about everyone else might or might not stick over time.

Once before the end of your next long rest, when you roll that number on a d20, you may choose to treat the roll as a natural 20. If the recorded roll is a natural 20, you may instead choose to replace a single roll with the natural 20 recorded.

## Goliaths

At the highest mountain peaks—far above the slopes where trees grow and where the air is thin and the frigid winds howl—dwell the reclusive Goliaths. Few folk can claim to have seen a Goliath, and fewer still can claim friendship with one.

Goliaths wander a bleak realm of rock, wind, and cold. Their bodies look as if they are carved from mountain stone and give them great physical power. Their spirits take after the wandering wind, making them nomads who wander from peak to peak.

### Driven Competitors
Every day brings a new challenge to a Goliath. Food, water, and shelter are rare in the uppermost mountain reaches. A single mistake can bring doom to an entire tribe, while an individual's heroic effort can ensure the group's survival.

Goliaths thus place a premium on self-sufficiency and individual skill. They have a compulsion to keep score, counting their deeds and tallying their accomplishments to compare to others. Goliaths love to win, but they see defeat as a prod to improve their skills.

This dedication to competition has a dark side. Goliaths are ferocious competitors, but above all else they are driven to outdo their past efforts. If a Goliath slays a dragon, he or she might seek out a larger, more powerful wyrm to battle. Few Goliath adventurers reach old age, as most die attempting to surpass their past accomplishments.

### Fair Play
For Goliaths, competition exists only when it is supported by a level playing field. Competition measures talent, dedication, and effort. Those factors determine survival in their home territory, not reliance on magic items, money, or other elements that can tip the balance one way or the other.

Goliaths happily rely on such benefits, but they are careful to remember that such an advantage can always be lost. A Goliath who relies too much on them can grow complacent, a recipe for disaster in the mountains.

This trait manifests most strongly when Goliaths interact with other folk. The relationship between peasants and nobles puzzles Goliaths. If a king lacks the intelligence or leadership to lead, then clearly the most talented person in the kingdom should take his place.

Goliaths rarely keep such opinions to themselves, and mock folk who rely on society's structures or rules to maintain power.

### Survival of the Fittest
Among Goliaths, any adult who can't contribute to the tribe is expelled. A lone Goliath has little chance of survival, especially an older or weaker one. Goliaths have little pity for adults who can't take care of themselves, though a sick or injured individual is treated, as a result of the Goliath concept of fair play.

A permanently injured Goliath is still expected to pull his or her weight in the tribe. Typically, such a Goliath dies attempting to keep up, or the Goliath slips away in the night to seek the cold will of fate.

In some ways, the Goliath drive to outdo themselves feeds into the grim inevitability of their decline and death. A Goliath would much rather die in battle, at the peak of strength and skill, than endure the slow decay of old age.

Few folk have ever meet an elderly Goliath, and even those Goliaths who have left their people grapple with the urge to give up their lives as their physical skills decay.

Because of their risk-taking, Goliath tribes suffer from a chronic lack of the experience offered by longterm leaders. They hope for innate wisdom in their leadership, for they can rarely count on a wisdom grown with age.

\pagebreakNum

### Goliath Names
Every Goliath has three names: a birth name assigned by the newborn's mother and father, a nickname assigned by the tribal chief, and a family or clan name. A birth name is up to three syllables long.

A Goliath's nickname is a description that can change on the whim of a chieftain or tribal elder. It refers to a notable deed, either a success or failure, committed by the Goliath. Goliaths assign and use nicknames with their friends of other races, and change them to refer to an individual's deeds.

The Stoneborn's stoic presence and thick skin stems from the earthen exterior of the Stone Giants. Perhaps the most civilized of their Giantkin, they have their place within the civilized world of humanity rather than the far off wilds and ancient wastelands of their kin.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Born of the Stone.*** You have resistance to acid damage and nonmagical difficult terrain doesn’t cost you additional movement in mountainous or rocky terrain.

***Heart of the Hearth.*** When making any Intelligence check, you may use your Oral Historian trait to make a Wisdom check instead. Additionally, you have proficiency in one set of artisan's tools, one gaming set, and one musical instrument of your choosing.

> ##### Nomadic Justice
> The system of punishment for Goliaths is less structured than it is in many other societies. Because Goliaths are nomadic, imprisonment isn’t an option, and fines rarely work in a society where many goods are owned jointly by the tribe. 
>
> Goliaths who disobey the chieftain or are caught stealing, cheating, or committing other crimes are often simply beaten. Goliaths have a healthy respect for pain as a motivator. Their other primary punishment is social: To a greater or lesser degree, the rest of the tribe shuns the criminal.

***Stone's Endurance.*** You can call upon the unyielding strength of stone to shrug off harm. When you take damage, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by 1d12 + your Constitution modifier.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Frostborn

The blood of the Frostborn runs as cold as the frozen tundras they call home. Ancient descendants of the Frost Giants, they've learned not to survive, but rather to thrive within the frozen wastes that others would consider uninhabitable. Their people have found beauty and life where once there was none, binding them and their tribes together forever.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

***Born of the Frost.*** You have resistance to cold damage. You're also naturally adapted to cold climates, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

***Heart of the Wastes.*** Your walking speed is increased to 35 feet and, when traveling for an extended period of time, you can move stealthily at a normal pace (See chapter 8 of the Player's Handbook for information about travel pace).

***Rime's Ward.*** You can supernaturally draw on the chilling cold to ward you from harm. When you are hit by a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to increase your AC by your Constitution modifier until the end of the attacker's turn.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Flameborn

As master craftsmen, the Flameborn find inspiration hidden within the elements themselves.

From sailing the seven seas to scaling the highest of mountains, they believe that true inspiration only comes from adventure.

***Born of the Flame.*** You have resistance to fire damage. Additionally, you have adapted to hot environments as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

***Heart of the Forge.*** You have proficiency with light armor, medium armor, and smith's tools.

When you take damage, you can use your reaction to force all creatures within 5 feet of you to make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Constitution Modifier). A creature takes fire damage equal to 1d4 + your Constitution modifier on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This fire ignites any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Cloudborn

The Cloudborn feel most comfortable in the highest reaches of the tallest mountains, where the air is too cold and thin for most other creatures to survive and the cries of the mortal world have been all but left behind.

This extra distance costs movement as usual.

***Cloud's Veil.*** You can call upon the fury of the storm to retaliate against your opponents. When an ally within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to magically teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of their attacker and take a single melee weapon attack against them. To use this reaction, you must be able to see your target and they must be within 30 feet of you.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

## Half-Dwarves
<!--
*"Squat, Half-Dwarf, Half-bred, Mul. Call 'em what you want. There's no one I'd rather have watching my back."*

-- Seamus Lane, College of Lore
___
-->
Walking between the ambitious world of the Human and the traditional world of the Dwarf, Half-Dwarves are constantly torn by their dual heritage. Half-Dwarves are rare, both due to the unlikeliness of a Human and Dwarf coupling and the fact that such couplings rarely produce offspring. Despite their rarity, most cities with a blended Human and Dwarven population will contain at least a handful of Half-Dwarves.

### Squats, Half-Bred, Muls
Depending on who you talk to, a Half-Dwarf may look like a short stocky hairless Human or a tall, beardless Dwarf. In Human communities, Half-Dwarves are often called "Squats", in reference to their stout builds and mixed heritage. Among Dwarves, they are called "Muls" or, more derogatorily, "Half-Breeds". In either case, the life of a Half-Dwarf is often filled with ridicule, disdain, or worst of all, pity. As a result, Half-Dwarves tend to be loners and are focused on proving themselves through quiet deed rather than word.

### By Hammer, Axe, or Blade
Half-Dwarves often find fulfillment through work that others might consider menial, and especially delight in excelling in crafts typically favoured by their Dwarven heritage. They are consummate stone-workers, smiths, and brewers. Those that embrace their Human side often find work as lumberjacks, woodcarvers, and carpenters.

### Half-Dwarf Names
Half-Dwarves use Human or Dwarven naming conventions, depending on where they were raised, though it is common for them to acquire nicknames in either Dwarven or common, depending on which heritage they gravitate towards, as they grow older.

### Half-Dwarf Traits
Your Half-Dwarf character has some qualities in common with Dwarves and some that are unique to Half-Dwarves.

***Ability Score Increases.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2 and two other ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

***Age.*** Half-Dwarves mature the same as Humans, reach adulthood around the age of 20, and often live over 200 years.

***Size.*** A Half-Dwarf is taller than a Dwarf, and bulkier than a Human, standing at 5 to 6 feet tall and weighing between 240-300 pounds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armour.

***Low-Light Vision.*** Accustomed to life underground, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Skilled Versatility.*** You have proficiency in two skills and one set of artisan's tools of your choosing.

***Dwarven Resilience.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common, Dwarvish, and one additional language of your choice.

***Subrace.*** Like their Dwarven kin, there exist five subraces of Half-Dwarves, one for each of the Dwarven races.

#### Half Mountain Dwarves

***Dwarven Toughness.*** Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

***Of Many Trades.*** You have proficiency with two of the following tools of your choice: Brewer’s Supplies, Mason’s Tools, Jeweler's Tools, or Smith’s Tools.

#### Half Hill Dwarves

***Dwarven Armor Training.*** You have proficiency with light and medium armor.

***Cunning Traveler.*** You have proficiency with one of the following tools of your choice: Cobbler’s Tools, Cook’s Utensils, or Weaver’s Tools.

#### Half Stone Dwarves

***Psionic Fortitude.*** You have advantage on all ability checks made to reveal the true nature of an illusion and to avoid or end the charmed or petrified conditions on yourself.

***Crazed Artisan.*** You have proficiency with one of the following tools of your choice: Alchemist's Supplies, Tinker's Tools, or Poisoner's Kit.

#### Half Forge Dwarves

***Inner Flame.*** You have resistance to fire damage. Additionally, you have adapted to hot environments as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

***Fine Artisan.*** You have proficiency with one of the following tools of your choice: Glassblower’s tools, Potter's Tools, or Woodcarver's Tools.

## Half-Elves

Walking in two worlds but truly belonging to neither, Half-Elves combine what some say are the best qualities of their Elf and Human parents: Human curiosity, inventiveness, and ambition tempered by the refined senses, love of nature, and artistic tastes of the Elves.

Some Half-Elves live among Humans, set apart by their emotional and physical differences, watching friends and loved ones age while time barely touches them. Others live with the Elves, growing to adulthood while their peers continue to live as children, growing restless in the timeless Elven realms.

Many Half-Elves, unable to fit into either society, choose lives of solitary wandering or join with other misfits and outcasts in the adventuring life.

### Of Two Worlds
To Humans, Half-Elves look like Elves, and to Elves, they look human. In height, they're on par with both parents, though they're neither as slender as Elves nor as broad as Humans. They range from under 5 feet to about 6 feet tall, and from 100 to 180 pounds, with men only slightly taller and heavier than women.

Half-Elf men do have facial hair, and sometimes grow beards to mask their Elven ancestry. Half-Elven coloration and features lie, somewhere between their Human and Elf parents, and thus show a variety even more pronounced than that found among either race. They tend to have the eyes of their Elven parents.

### Diplomats or Wanderers
Half-Elves have no lands of their own, though they are welcome in Human cities and somewhat less welcome in Elven forests. In large cities in regions where Elves and Humans interact often, Half-Elves are sometimes numerous enough to form small communities of their own.

They enjoy the company of other Half-Elves, the only people who truly understand what it is to live between these two worlds. In most parts of the world, though, Half-Elves are uncommon enough that one might live for years without meeting another.

Some prefer to avoid company altogether, wandering the wilds as foresters, hunters, or adventurers and rarely visiting civilization. Others, in contrast, throw themselves into the thick of society, putting their charisma and social skills to great use in diplomatic roles or as swindlers.

### Half-Elf Names
Half-Elves use either Human or Elven naming conventions. As if to emphasize that they don't really fit in to either society, Half-Elves raised among Humans are often given Elven names, and those raised among Elves often take Human names.

### Excellent Ambassadors
Many Half-Elves learn at an early age to get along with everyone, defusing hostility and finding common ground. As a race, they have Elven grace without Elven aloofness and Human energy without Human boorishness.

## Half-Orcs
<!--
THE WARCHIEF MHURREN ROUSED HIMSELF FROM HIS

He usual{y rose before most of his warriors. since he had a strong streak of Human blood in him. and hefound the daylight less bothersome than most of his tribe did. Among the Bloody Skulls. a warrior was judged by his strength. his jlerceness. and his wits. Human ancestry was no blemish against a warrior-prauided he was euery bit as strang. enduring. and bloodthirsty as hisfull-blooded kin. Halforcs who were weaker than their Orc comrades didn't last long among the Bloody Skulls OI' any other Orc tribefor that matter. Rut it was often true that a bit of Human blood gave a warrior just the right mix of cunning. ambition, and self-discipline to gofar indeed. as Mhurren had. He was master of a tribe that could muster two thousand spears. and the strangest chiefin TlJar.
-Richard Baker. Swordmage

-->

Whether united under the leadership of a mighty warlock or having fought to a standstill after years of conflict, Orc and Human tribes sometimes form alliances, joining forces into a larger horde to the terror of civilized lands nearby.

When these alliances are sealed by marriages, Half-Orcs are born. Some Half-Orcs rise to become proud chiefs of Orc tribes, their Human blood giving them an edge over their full-blooded Orc rivals.

Some venture into the world to prove their worth among Humans and other more civilized races. Many of these become adventurers, achieving greatness for their mighty deeds and notoriety for their barbaric customs and savage fury.

> ##### Begrudging Acceptance
> Each Half-Orc finds a way to gain acceptance from those who hate Orcs. Some are reserved, trying not to draw attention to themselves. A few show piety and good-heartedness as publicly as they can (whether or not such demonstrations are genuine). And some simply try to be so tough that others just avoid them.

### Scarred and Strong
Half-orcs' brownish, redish, or grayish pigmentation, sloping foreheads, jutting jaws, prominent teeth, and towering builds make their Orcish heritage plain for all to see. Half-orcs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall and usually weigh between 180 and 250 pounds.

Orcs regard battle scars as tokens of pride and ornamental scars as things of beauty. Other scars, though, mark an Orc or Half-Orc as a former slave or a disgraced exile.

Any Half-Orc who has lived among or near Orcs has scars, whether they are marks of humiliation or of pride, recounting their past exploits and injuries. Such a Half-Orc living among Humans might display these scars proudly or hide them in shame.

### The Mark of Gruumsh
The one-eyed god Gruumsh created the Orcs, and even those Orcs who turn away from his worship can't fully escape his influence. The same is true of Half-Orcs. Though their Human blood moderates the impact of their Orcish heritage.

Some Half-Orcs hear the whispers of Gruumsh in their dreams, calling them to unleash the rage that simmers within them. Others feel Gruumsh's exultation when they join in melee combat—and either exult along with him or shiver with fear and loathing. Half-orcs are not evil by nature, but evil does lurk within them, whether or not they embrace it.

Beyond the rage of Gruumsh, Half-Orcs feel emotion powerfully. Rage doesn't just quicken their pulse, it makes their bodies burn. An insult stings like acid, and sadness saps their strength. But they laugh loudly and heartily, and simple bodily pleasures—feasting, drinking, wrestling, drumming, and wild dancing—fill their hearts with joy.

Half-Orcs tend to be short-tempered and sometimes sullen, more inclined to action than contemplation and to fighting than arguing. The most accomplished Half-Orcs are those with enough self-control to get by in a civilized land.

### Tribes and Slums
Half-orcs most often live among Orcs. Of the other races, Humans are most likely to accept Half-Orcs, and Half-Orcs almost always live in Human lands when not living among Orc tribes.

Whether proving themselves among rough barbarian tribes or scrabbling to survive in the slums of larger cities, Half-Orcs get by on their physical might, their endurance, and the sheer determination they inherit from their Human ancestry.

Some Half-Orcs rise to become proud chiefs of Orc tribes, their Human blood giving them an edge over their full-blooded Orc rivals. Some venture into the world to prove their worth among Humans and other more civilized races.

### Half-Orc Names
Half-orcs usually have names appropriate to the culture in which they were raised. A Half-Orc who wants to fit in among Humans might trade an Orc name for a Human name. Some Half-Orcs with Human names decide to adopt a guttural Orc name because they think it makes them more intimidating.

**Male Orc Names:** Dench, Feng, Gell, Henk, Holg, Imsh,

Kelh, Krusk, Mhurren, Ront, Shump, Thokk

## Halflings

The comforts of home are the goals of most Halflings' lives: a place to settle in peace and quiet, far from marauding monsters and clashing armies; a blazing tire and a generous meal; fine drink and fine conversation.

Though some Halflings live out their days in remote agricultural communities, others form nomadic bands that travel constantly, lured by the open road and the wide horizon to discover the wonders of new lands and peoples. But even these wanderers love peace, food, hearth, and home, though home might be a wagon jostling along an dirt road or a raft floating downriver.

### Small and Practical
The diminutive Halflings survive in a world full of larger creatures by avoiding notice or, barring that, avoiding offense.

Standing about 3 feet tall, they appear relatively harmless and so have managed to survive for centuries in the shadow of empires and on the edges of wars and political strife. They are inclined to be stout, weighing between 40 and 45 pounds.

Halflings' skin ranges from tan to pale with a ruddy cast, and their hair is usually brown or sandy brown and wavy. They have brown or hazel eyes.

Halfling men often sport long sideburns, but beards are rare among them and mustaches even more so. They like to wear simple, comfortable, and practical clothes, favoring bright colors.

Halfling practicality extends beyond their clothing. They're concerned with basic needs and simple pleasures and have little use for ostentation.

Even the wealthiest of Halflings keep their treasures locked in a cellar rather than on display for all to see. They have a knack for finding the most straightforward solution to a problem, and have little patience for dithering.

### Kind and Curious

Halflings are an affable and cheerful people. They cherish the bonds of family and friendship as well as the comforts of hearth and home, harboring few dreams of gold or glory.

Even adventurers among them usually venture into the world for reasons of community, friendship, wanderlust, or curiosity. They love discovering new things, even simple things, such as an exotic food or an unfamiliar style of clothing.

Halflings are easily moved to pity and hate to see any living thing suffer. They are generous, happily sharing what they have even in lean times.

### Blend into the Crowd

Halflings are adept at fitting into a community of Humans, Dwarves, or Elves, making themselves valuable and welcome. The combination of their inherent stealth and their unassuming nature helps Halflings to avoid unwanted attention.

### Exploring Opportunities
Halflings usually set out on the adventurer's path to defend their communities, support their friends, or explore a wide and wonder-filled world. For them, adventuring is less a career than an opportunity or sometimes a necessity.

\pagebreakNum

### Pastoral Pleasantries

Most Halflings live in small, peaceful communities with large farms and well-kept groves. They rarely build kingdoms of their own or even hold much land beyond the rolling hills and quiet shires they call home.

They typically don't recognize any sort of Halfling nobility or royalty, instead looking to family elders to guide them. Families preserve their traditional ways despite the rise and fall of empires.

Many Halflings live among other races, where the Halflings' hard work and loyal outlook offer them abundant rewards and creature comforts. Some Halfling communities travel as a way of life, driving wagons or guiding boats from place to place and maintaining no permanent home.

### Halfling Names
A Halfling has a given name, a family name, and possibly a nickname. Family names are often nicknames that stuck so tenaciously they have been passed down from generation to generation.

\columnbreak

***Brave.*** You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened.

***Lucky.*** When you roll a 1 on the die of an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.

***Halfling Nimbleness.*** You can move through the space of any creature that is of a larger size than you. While obscured by such a creature, you may attempt to hide behind them.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common, Halfling, and one additional language of your choice. Halflings write very little, so they don't have a rich body of literature, but their oral tradition is very strong.

***Subrace.*** The four subraces of Halflings are more akin to a closely-tied family than true subraces.

#### Lightfoot Halflings

## Humans
In the reckonings of most worlds, Humans are the youngest of the common races, late to arrive on the world scene and short-lived in comparison to Dwarves, Elves, and dragons.

Perhaps it is because of their shorter lives that they strive to achieve as much as they can in the years they are given. Or maybe they feel they have something to prove to the elder races, and that's why thy build they mighty empires on the foundations of conquest and trade. Whatever drives them, Humans are the innovators, the achievers, and the pioneers of the worlds.

### A Broad Spectrum
With their penchant for migration and conquest, Humans are more physically diverse than other common races. There is no typical Human. An individual can stand from 5 feet to a little over 6 feet tall and weigh from 125 to 250 pounds.

Human skin shades rage from nearly black to very pale, and hair colors from black to bond (curly, kinky, or straight); males might sport facial hair that is sparse or thick.

A lot of Humans have a dash of nonhuman blood, revealing hints of Elf, Orc or other lineages. Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and rarely live even a single century.

### Variety in all Things
Humans are the most ambitious people among the common races. They have widely varying tastes, morals, and customs in the many different lands where they have settled. When they settle, though, they stay: they build cities to last for the ages, and kingdoms that can persist for many long centuries.

They live fully in the present-making them well suited to the adventuring life-but also plan for the future, striving to leave a lasting legacy. Individually and as a group, Humans are adaptable opportunists, and they stay alert to changing political and social dynamics.

### Lasting Institutions
Where a single Elf or Dwarf might take on the responsibility of guarding a special location or a powerful secret, Humans found sacred orders and institutions for such purposes.

While Dwarf clans and Halfling elders pass on the ancient traditions to each new generation, Human temples, libraries, governments and codes of law fix their traditions in the bedrock of history. Humans dream of immortality, but (except for those few who seek undeath or divine ascension to escape death's clutches) they achieve it by ensuring that they will be remembered when they are gone.

\pagebreakNum

### Exemplars of Ambition
Humans who seek adventure are the most daring and ambitious members of a daring and ambitious race. They seek to earn glory in the eyes of their fellows by amassing power, wealth, and fame. More than other people, Humans champion causes rather than territories or groups.

### Humans Names
Having so much more variety than other cultures, Humans as a whole have no typical names. Some Human parents give their children names from other languages, such as Dwarvish or Elvish (pronounced more or less correctly), but most parents give names that are linked to their region's culture or to the naming traditions of their ancestors.

The material culture and physical characteristics of Humans change wildly from region to region. In the Forgotten Realms, for example, the clothing, architecture, cuisine, music, and literature are different in the northern lands of the Silver Marches than in Turmish or Impiltur to the east-and even more distinctive in far-off Kara-Tur.

Human physical characteristics vary according to the ancient migrations of the earliest Humans and have many variations of coloration and features.

\columnbreak

### Human Traits
It's hard to make generalizations about Humans, but your Human character has these traits.

***Ability Score Increases.*** One ability score of your score increases by 2 and three other ability scores of your choice increase by 1.

***Age.*** Humans reach adulthood in their late teens and live less than a century.

***Size.*** Humans vary from barely 5 to well over 6 feet tall. Regardless of your place in that range, your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Skill Versatility.*** You have proficiency in two skills and one set of artisan's tools of your choosing.

***Innate Resilience.*** You gain proficiency in saving throws for one additional ability score of your choice.

***Human Determination.*** When you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can choose to reroll the die. Once you use this trait in this way, you can't use it in this way again until you finish a short or long rest.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and one additional language of your choice. Humans often learn the languages of other peoples they deal with and are fond of sprinkling their speech with borrowed words and phrases.

> ##### Everyone's Second-best Friends
> Just as readily as they mix with each other, Humans mingle with members of other races. They get along with almost everyone, though they might not be close to many. Humans serve as ambassadors, diplomats, magistrates, merchants, and functionaries of all kinds.
> 
> **Dwarves.** "They're stout folk, stalwart friends, and true to their word. Their greed for gold is their downfall, though."
> 
> **Elves.** "It's best not to wander into Elven woods. They don't like intruders, and you'll as likely be bewitched as peppered with arrows. Still, if an Elf can get past that damned racial pride and actually treat you like an equal, you can learn a lot from them."
> 
> **Halflings.** "lt's hard to beat a meal in a Halfling home, as long as you don't crack your head on the ceiling-good food and good stories in front of a nice, warm fire. If Halflings had a shred of ambition, they might really amount to something."

## Bugbears

Bugbears feature in the nightmare tales of many races as great, hairy beasts that creep through the shadows as quiet as cats.

If you walk alone in the woods, a Bugbear will reach out of the bushes and strangle you. If you stray too far from the house at night, Bugbears will scoop you up to devour you in their den. If a Bugbear cuts off your head, your soul stays trapped inside, and the Bugbears use your head to magically command all whom you once knew.

Lurid tales such as these have flowered from the seeds of truth. Bugbears do rely on stealth and strength to attack, preferring to operate at night. They do take the heads of enemy leaders, but they are no more likely to eat people indiscriminately than Humans are.

### Shiftless, Savage Layabouts
When they’re not in battle, Bugbears spend much of their time resting or dozing.

They don’t engage in crafting or agriculture to any great extent, or otherwise produce anything of value, instead choosing to bully weaker creatures into doing their bidding, so they can take it easy.

This indolence offers no clue to how vicious the creatures are. Bugbears are capable of bouts of incredible ferocity, using their muscular bodies to exact swift and ruthless violence.

At their core, Bugbears are ambush predators accustomed to long periods of inactivity broken by short bursts of murderous energy. Ferocious though they may be, Bugbears aren’t built for extended periods of exertion.

### Gang Mentality
Since Bugbears aren’t a particularly fecund race, their overall population is small and spread over a wide area.

Bugbears live in family groups that operate much like gangs. The individuals in a group typically number fewer than a dozen, consisting of siblings and their mates as well as a handful of offspring and an elder or two.

A gang lives in and around a small enclosure and it might have supplementary dens elsewhere in its territory that it uses temporarily when it goes on long forays for food.

In good times, a Bugbear gang is tight-knit, and its members cooperate well as a unit. But when the fortunes of a gang turn sour, the individuals become selfish, and might sabotage one another to remove opposition or exile the weaker members to keep the rest of the gang strong.

### Bugbear Traits
Your Bugbear character has the following traits.

***Ability Score Increases.*** Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Dexterity score increases by 1.

***Age.*** Bugbears reach adulthood at age 16 and live up to 80 years.

***Size.*** Bugbears are between 6 and 8 feet tall and weigh between 250 and 350 pounds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

***Unnatural Build.*** You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. Additionally, whenever you make a Strength (Athletics) check related to climbing or jumping, you are considered proficient in the given check. If you are already proficient in Athletics, you may instead add double your Proficiency Bonus to the check.

***Long-Limbed.*** When you make a Melee Attack on your turn, your reach for it is 5 feet greater than normal. In addition, without squeezing, you can move through and stop in a space large enough for a Small creature.

***Surprise Attack.*** You have proficiency in the Stealth skill. Additionally, when you hit a creature that hasn't yet taken a turn in combat with an attack roll, the target of your attack takes an extra 2d6 damage.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Goblin.

## Goblins
<!--
KURF THE GOBLIN, OUTCAST AMONGST

his own people for questioning  their core beliefs. He would spend hour after hour, for days upon days, just watching the city bustle on. He was short for the age of 12, a full-fledged adult in goblin years and barely past two-and-a-half feet at the top of his cap, but he viewed it as a blessing rather than the curse his kind made it out to be. Kurf's small size allowed him to go unnoticed more often than not and he could get near enough to the market to hear the merchants barter and see the young boys pick heavy and loose pockets. He really liked the pick-pockets.
-->

Goblins are conniving, self-serving, and fierce beings. They're more aptly described as cunning and fierce than doltish and rash or intelligent and tactful.

They commonly live amongst forest, bogs, and mountains in cabes, hidey-holes, or structures long deserted by races more skilled in architecture and construction.

### Small and Shrewd
Goblin lairs are challenging to maneuver by design. They festoon their lairs with alarms designed to signal the arrival of intruders.

These lairs are also riddled with narrow tunnel and bolt-holes that Human-sized creatures can't navigate, but which Goblins can crawl through with ease, allowing them to flee or to circle around and surprise their enemies.

Goblins are taught from the day they're born to construct jury-rig traps from anything at their disposal and as such are able to engineer traps out of even the most minimal of materials. These contriances aren't always the most predictable or lasting mechanisms in existence, but they do the job well enough.

### Worshippers of Maglubiyet
Maglubiyet the Mighty One, the Lord of Depths and Darkness, is the greater god of goblinoids.

Envisioned by most Goblins as an eleven-foot-tall battle-scarred goblin with black skin and fire erupting from his eyes, he is worshipped not out of adoration but fear. Goblins believe that when they die in battle, their spirits join the ranks of Maglubiyet's army on the plane of Archeron.

### Malicious Leaders
Goblins are ruled by the strongest or the smartest among them. A goblin boss might command a single lair, while a goblin king or queen (who is nothing more than a glorified goblin boss) would rule hundreds of Goblins, spread out among multiple lairs to ensure the tribe's survival.

Goblin bosses are easily ousted, and many goblin tribes are taken over by nearby rival tribes. If ever a leader shows weakness in front of his clan, another ambitious goblin is there to take his place (after slitting his throat of course).

### Goblin Names
A goblin's name consists of a given name and a tribe name. A tribe name is of exponentially greater importance than a given name. A goblin who loses his or her tribe name is a shame to all around him or her.

Your goblin character has some qualities in common with all other Goblins.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Goblins reach adulthood at age 8 and live up to 60 years.

***Size.*** Goblins are between 3 and 4 feet tall and weigh between 40 and 80 pounds. Your size is Small.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Trap Masters.*** You have advantage on any ability checks you make to detect, set up, or disable traps.

***Nimble Escape.*** You have proficiency in the Stealth skill and you can take the Disengage or Hide action as a bonus action on each of your turns.

***Fury of the Small.*** Once per turn, when you damage a creature with a weapon or spell attack and the creature's size is larger than yours, you can cause the attack or spell to deal extra damage to the creature equal to your Proficiency Bonus. If you are hidden from your target when dealing damage in this way, the damage dealt by this trait is doubled.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regaining all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Goblin.

***Subrace.*** Goblins can be found in all shapes and sizes, adapting again and again over generations to best make use of their surroundings. These adaptations have resulted in 7 subraces of Goblins for the many environments they have been able to thrive within.

#### Forest Goblins

Perhaps the most well known of their goblin kin, Forest Goblins are green of skin and stout of stature. Living within the shade of the forest, these Goblins make great use of their environment, thriving off of the spoils of the unlucky caravans and adventurers that pass through their lands.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

\columnbreak

***Light of Foot.*** Your walking speed is increased to 30 and creatures of a size larger than yours have disadvantage on opportunity attacks made against you.

#### Desert Goblins

Having adapted to the arid heat of their home, Desert Goblins hold a sandstone color to their skin and a crazed look in their eye. With a love of all things destructive, most of their kind die at a young age due to some failed explosive experiment. Those that survive the fragility of young age grow to be as heartily unhinged as the best of them.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.

***Desert Adaptation.*** You have resistance to fire damage. Additionally, you have adapted to hot environments as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

***Natural Burrowers.*** As an action, you may begin to dig into the earth, gaining a burrowing speed of 20 feet when burrowing through sand or loose earth until the end of your next turn. If you start your turn burrowed deeper than 10 feet beneath the surface, you take 1d6 bludgeoning damage. Additionally, you have advantage on stealth checks while burrowed beneath the ground as long as you are not moving.

#### Mountain Goblins

Mountain Goblins are known most for the nearly scale-like exterior of hardened rocks and moss that cover their bodies. Without much knowledge of their kind, one may assume this to be some strange  kind of armor. In reality, this is a naturally grown phenomenon formed after generations of adaptations to the mountainous regions they call home.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.

***Mountain Adaptation.*** You have resistance to acid damage. Additionally, you’re naturally acclimated to high altitudes, even if you've never been to one. This includes elevations above 20,000 feet.

> ##### Roguish Guise
> As creatures of indulgence and greed, Goblins have a natural place carved out for them in the underworld of civilized society.
>
> If you pick the Rogue class, starting at 2nd level, you may use your Cunning Action trait to take the Search action as a bonus action.

\pagebreakNum

***Natural Armor.*** Your rocky exterior gives you an extra layer of defense. You have resistance to acid damage and, when you aren't wearing armor, your base AC is 13 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your Natural Armor if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.

***Alpine Explorers.*** Nonmagical difficult terrain doesn’t cost you additional movement in mountainous or rocky terrain. Additionally, whenever you make a Strength (Athletics) check related to climbing or jumping, you are considered proficient in the given check. If you are already proficient in Athletics, you may instead add double your Proficiency Bonus to the check.

#### Jungle Goblins

Often mistaken for some form of deranged beast, Jungle Goblins hold a dark green hue to their skin and a long prehensile tail. These Goblins are savage hunters that maneuver through the thickness of the jungle with an unnatural speed that makes them incredibly deadly in the right circumstances.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Poison Resistance.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage.

***Jungle Adaptation.*** You have a climbing speed of 30 feet. Additionally, you have a long prehensile tail. Your tail can be used to perform a variety of simple tasks such as holding an item or picking something off the floor, but is unable to perform any complex tasks such as picking a lock or wielding a weapon.

#### Swamp Goblins

After learning the ways of the swamp, Swamp Goblins have adapted by literally growing gills and webbed appendages over the course of generations within these lands. With a naturally slimy exterior and skittish nature, these Goblins are hard to corner, especially within their preferred environment of the swampy lands they call home.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Swamp Adaptation.*** You have a swimming speed equal to 35 feet and you can breathe air and water. Additionally, you have advantage on any Dexterity (Stealth) check you make while you are submerged in water.

***Slippery Swimmers.*** While submerged in water, you can move across nonmagical difficult terrain without expending extra movement. Additionally, you have advantage on all ability checks and saving throws made to resist being grappled.

#### Frost Goblins

Taller and a bit less deranged than most of their kin, Frost Goblins are thought to have been civilized by the prismatic lights of the north. Having devoted themselves to the strange magics of these lights, the Frost Goblins are well known for the devious tricks that they play upon unsuspecting victims.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Arctic Adaptation.*** You have resistance to cold damage and you are naturally adapted to cold climates, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

***Blessing of the Aurora.*** You know the dancing lights cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the disguise self spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the blur spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

\pagebreakNum

\columnbreak

#### Cavern Goblins

Having absconded to the depths long ago, the Cavern Goblins, known most often as Shades, have all but lost the need for the small beady orbs they call eyes, choosing instead to rely on their supernatural senses within the shadows. Unlike most of their Goblin kin, Cavern Goblins rarely work in groups or tribes due to their savage nature.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.

***Cavern Adaptation.*** You could go years without the faintest source of light and have done just that many times over. You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless that creature successfully hides from you.

***Shade Magic.*** You know the spare the dying cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the jump spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the pass without a trace spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either of these spells with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

> ##### Sneaky and Devious
> Goblins are not trustworthy, they cannot afford to be. They are suspicious of others and tend to look for any advantage they can. They will lie, cheat, and steal from others with little regard to consequences.
>
> **Dwarves.** "Dwarves are always so angry and serious. And they are always looking to kill you over absolutely nothing! Kill them first or keep clear, unless you outnumber them by at least two to one. Be ready to run if you ever see them raech for their axe."
> 
> **Halflings.** "They are so boring! And dumb. At least they usually aren't out to kill us like everyone else. They can more or less take a joke, but they'll fall for every trick in the book and still keep that dumb smiled plastered on their faces."

## Hobgoblin
War is the lifeblood of Hobgoblins. Its glories are the dreams that inspire them. Its horrors don’t feature in their nightmares. Cowardice is more terrible to Hobgoblins than dying, for they carry their living acts into the afterlife. A hero in death becomes a hero eternal.

Young Hobgoblins start soldiering when they can walk and heed the mustering call as soon as they can wield their weapons capably. Every legion in the Hobgoblins’ entire society forever stands prepared for war.

### Brutal Civility
Hobgoblins hold themselves to high standards of military honor. The race has a long history of shared traditions, recorded and retold to keep the knowledge fresh for new generations. When Hobgoblins aren’t waging war, they farm, they build, and they practice both martial and arcane arts.

These trappings of civil society do little to conceal an underlying brutality that Hobgoblins practice on each other and perfect upon other races. Punishment for infractions of Hobgoblin law are swift and merciless. Beauty is something Hobgoblins associate only with images of conflict and warfare.

The iron grip their philosophy holds on their hearts blinds Hobgoblins to the accomplishments of other peoples. Hobgoblins have little appreciation or patience for art. They leave little space for joy or leisure in their lives, and thus have no reserves of faith to call upon when in dire straits.

### Rank, Status, and Title
As in any strict military hierarchy, every Hobgoblin in a legion has a rank, from the warlord down through a cadre of officers to the soldiers that make up most of its number.

A legion is organized into units called banners, each one made up of a group of interrelated families. Members of a banner live, work, and fight together, and each banner has a separate status within the legion that is reflected in the power of its officers. For instance, the captains of the highest-ranking banners can expect their orders to be followed by the captains of any banners of lower rank.

Rank and responsibility aren’t necessarily commensurate from one legion to another or even between banners in the same legion. A phalanx of foot soldiers led by a captain in one legion might be two hundred strong, while in another such a force numbers just twenty. One banner might have four warriors mounted on worgs led by a fist, while a fist in another banner of the same legion might lead ten mounted warriors. If any rank doesn’t serve a purpose in the legion, the warlord eliminates it from the hierarchy to maximize efficiency.

### Honor Bound, By Glory Crowned
Advancement in rank comes as a result of attaining glory, but for the achievement to mean anything, a Hobgoblin must abide by the race’s code of honor in doing so.

Glory can be earned by discovery of great resources (such as finding a new vein of iron or a powerful magic item), by fine performances (writing and performing a great ballad about the legion), by designing and constructing a great defense or monument, and through other means. But the greatest respect is reserved for those who earn their glory in battle. In theory, the fortunes of war can elevate the lowest-ranking banner in a legion to the highest status.

In practice, warlords are careful to position themselves and their banners to claim the greatest victories in any conflict, and they portion out opportunities and responsibilities to other banners as politics dictate.

***Follow Orders.*** Carrying out orders without question is critical on the battlefield, and Hobgoblins follow this dictum in peaceful times as well in order to maintain stability in their society. Hobgoblins don’t shrink from following orders that they know will result in death if the act will bring glory to the banner or the legion.

***Honor the Gods.*** Hobgoblins give regular recognition to the deities left to them after Maglubiyet’s conquest. Idols of Nomog-Geaya, as well as standards and flags with his image or symbol, receive a bow or salute at all times except emergencies. Bargrivyek’s peacemakers receive due deference regardless of rank or banner status. Of course, Maglubiyet’s call to conquest is always answered.

> ##### A Mind For War
> With a natural affinity for battle and schemes alike, Hobgoblins often find their place amongst a life of intrigue.
>
> If you pick the Mastermind Rogue subclass, you may use your Gift of the Fey trait an additional time per long rest.

***Give No Insult.*** As befits their warlike nature, Hobgoblins believe that any insult demands a response. Suitably (and somewhat ironically), the outward politeness and civility that they demonstrate among each other enables them to avoid conflicts in daily life. This same form of “courtesy” is often extended to other races the Hobgoblins have dealings with.

***Reward Glorious Action.*** Hobgoblins never deny advancement in status to a banner that has earned it, nor do they withhold higher rank from a deserving individual. If a banner attains great glory in battle but is nearly destroyed, the handful of members who remain are welcomed into another banner, taking their banner’s name and colors along with them, and assuming places of leadership in the group.

***Uphold the Legion.*** Hobgoblins care more for the survival of their legion than for others of their kind. Two legions might battle over territory, resources, or power, or out of simple pride. A legion may have a list of grievances against others it knows of and may view one another with immediate hostility.

## Kobold
Kobolds are meticulous creatures with sorcery in their blood, a variety of reptile with a strong work ethic. Discounted as pests or worse by many others, Kobolds are a long-suffering race with many talents and clever tricks. Only the foolish overlook the threat that Kobolds actually pose.

For Kobolds, awakening the potential of sorcery within themselves is a birthright. Nothing could be more natural.

### Cold-blooded Reptiles
Kobolds are short, cold-blooded reptilian humanoids with bony frames, small tails, and scaly skin. They stand approximately 2 to 2-1/2 feet tall and weigh 35 to 45 pounds. Sinewy, double-jointed legs, naturally bent and poised for sudden speed, contribute to their height.

Kobolds have strong teeth, and their hands and feet have long digits tipped with very small claws. A Kobold’s face is like a crocodile’s, with a jaw that can open wide enough to hold a whole melon. Constantly alert and wide, the eyes of a Kobold range in color from burnt ochre to red. A ridge of small, hornlike bone juts above each brow and sweeps backward, the protrusions growing larger and more pronounced toward the rear of the skull.

Most Kobolds of the same tribe tend to have similar coloration. Two tribes that merge eventually, crossbreed enough to create a new look, although occasional outliers and throwbacks are born that bear the appearance of one of the original tribes.

Use the Scale Color table to randomly determine the predominant appearance of Kobolds in a tribe.

### Strength in Numbers
Kobold society is split into workers and experts, the vast majority being workers and only a few become experts. Despite having specialized skills, Kobold experts are treated the same as any other worker. They enjoy different challenges than a miner might but are expected to serve the tribe like any other member. In times of warfare, all adults are expected to fight.

Kobold society is strongest when work is abundant and their labor forces are a marvel to behold. When fast at work, Kobolds function like a hive of ants. Despite the swarming masses of bodies devoted to one task, they rarely trip over each other, instinctively knowing where to apply their help most efficiently, using their tails to help avoid collisions.

### Arcane Magic Users
Unlike some other humanoids, Kobolds don't fear or shun arcane magic. They see magic as part of their connection to dragons, and are proud to be blessed with the ability to wield such power. Young Kobold sorcerers are trained by elders, and the training has an almost religious significance.

Most Kobold sorcerers are of the draconic bloodline origin and specialize in either damaging magic (which can also be used in mining), augmentation (of materials or allies), or divination (to find raw materials and foresee threats to the tribe).

The main reason why Kobolds depend on arcane magic rather than divine is Kurtulmak's imprisonment, which makes it difficult for him to grant spells to mortals and for those mortals to receive his favor.

\columnbreak

### Deadly Art
The only experts who receive special attention for their efforts are Kobold trapmakers. These inventors are highly valued because their creations protect Kobold lairs and tribal lands without the need for open warfare.

Among Kobolds, traps are an art form and few artisans are as obsessed with the minute details of their work as a master Kobold trapmaker.

Kobolds rarely indulge in creativity over function, but exceptions are made for a cunning trap. One-upmanship is definitely present among Kobold trapmakers.

They find ingenious ways to incorporate bizarre spells, technological advances, and unexpected twists into their traps. In fact, the inventive ways in which Kobolds defend their lairs compares favorably to the technological and magical marvels created by their hated foes, the Gnomes.

### Kobold Names
Kobold names are derived from the Draconic tongue and usually relate to a characteristic of the owner, such as scale color, distinctive body parts, or typical behavior. For example, "Red Foot," "White Claw," and "Scurry" are Common translations of often-used names.

***Trap Masters.*** You have advantage on any ability checks you make to detect, set up, or disable traps.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Draconic.

***Subrace.*** Within any Kobold clan, you may find any of the following five subraces: Scalehearts, Trapclaws, Runtwings, and Deeptails.

\pagebreakNum

#### Scalehearts

Blessed with an elemental heart, Scalehearts are the most zealous warriors amongst Kobold tribes. Born with vibrant scales and an innate elemental breath weapon, the mark of their draconic heritage is a point of honor and pride for these little dragons. This ancestral pride most often places Scalehearts in positions of leadership within their tribes.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.

***Runic Sight.*** You have advantage on all ability checks made to uncover or decipher magical runes.

***Draconic Ancestry.*** You have stronger ties to your draconic ancestry than most others of your kind. Choose one type of dragon from the Draconic Ancestry table below. This determines the damage type for your Draconic Resistance and Breath Weapon traits, as shown in the following table.

</center>

***Draconic Resistance.*** You have resistance to the damage type associated with your Draconic Ancestry.

***Breath Weapon.*** When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of magical energy in your choice of a 15-foot cone or a 5-foot wide 30-foot line. Creatures caught in your cone attack must make a Constitution saving throw, whereas those caught in your line attack must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 8 + your Charisma modifier + your Proficiency Bonus), taking 1d6 damage of the type associated with your Draconic Ancestry on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Trapclaws

While some Kobolds are blessed with elemental hearts, others are instead blessed with a curiously unhinged mind. With a wandering focus and a need to fiddle with whatever is within grabbing distance, Trapclaws are often quite twitchy when not exploring whatever project has taken their fancy.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Defiant Mind.*** You have advantage on saving throws to avoid or end the frightened condition on yourself.

***Crazed Intuition.*** Thanks to your inventive mind, you have proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Investigation, Medicine, Nature, Perception, or Survival.

***Scrappy Crafter.*** As part of a short or long rest, you can use a blade or dagger to harvest bone and hide from a Small or larger creature to create one of the following objects: a shield, a club, a javelin, or 1d4 darts or needles.

***Improvised Artisan.*** You have proficiency in your choice of one of the following artisan’s tools: Alchemist’s Supplies, Mason’s Tools, Smith’s Tools, or Tinkerer’s Tools.

Additionally, you are considered proficient with improvised weapons and the damage die of improvised weapons you wield is increased to 1d6.

#### Runtwings

Often much smaller and more meak than others of their kind, Runtwings are born with, you guessed it, a pair of runtish wings, not even big enough to truly carry their shrunken stature. With enough time and practice, most Runtwings eventually learn to glide well enough, though true flight is most often nothing more than a dream for their kind.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Stunted Wings.*** You have a pair of stunted wings that protrude from your back. Although not quite large enough to truly fly, these wings give you the ability to leap and glide great distances. Your vertical jump distance is doubled and your horizontal jump distance is tripled.

Additionally, when you fall, you can use your reaction to spread your wings, allowing you to move up to 5 feet horizontally for every 1 foot you descend. When falling in this way, your movement speed is doubled and you do not take fall damage.

***Skittish.*** When forced to make a Dexterity saving throw against an area effect, you may use your reaction to move up to half of your movement without provoking attacks of opportunity. If this movement would take you out of the area of effect, you are still considered to be targeted by the effect, but may roll the saving throw with advantage.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

\pagebreakNum

#### Deeptails

Born and raised to a life confined to the depths of some abandoned cavern, Deeptails often hold a sickly complexion and little care for the civilized world. Despite having large dens with hundreds of their kin scurrying about, most Deeptails have never seen the sun and few of their kind would openly take the opportunity to even visit the overworld if given the chance.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.

***Cave Crawlers.*** You have a climbing speed of 30 feet and, in dim light or darkness, you have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. Additionally, whenever you make a long jump or a high jump, you can increase the number of feet you cover by a number equal to twice your Proficiency Bonus, even when making a standing jump. This extra distance costs movement as usual.

\columnbreak

***Deeptail Magic.*** You know the primal savagery cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the ray of sickness spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the earthbind spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either of these spells with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

> ##### Draconic Rite of Passage
> If a Scaleheart Kobold decides to tap into their blood and awaken the draconic powers within, they must undertake a draconic rite of passage, unlocking the powers of their draconic blood.
>
> If you pick the Draconic Sorcerer subclass and choose the same damage type for your Draconic Ancestry and Draconic Heritage traits, you may increase your sorcery point maximum by two.

## Orc
Stuck between honor and savagery, Orcs are a complicated and mostly misunderstood race that always lingers on the edge between noble barbarians and wild savages. Orc society is tribal by nature, rich with traditions, honorable, yet wild and untamed.

They see the world for what it is: dangerous and wild, where only the strongest can survive. As such, Orcs are focused on strength and survival, not to destroy, but to survive as an individual and as a race. They have seen civilizations rise and fall, but the Orcs remain.

Orc ethics may still vary greatly from tribe to tribe. Some are roaming the lands, taking what they need from whoever has it, others live by a strong code of honor and only fight worthy opponents, and even others tend to isolate themselves from other races by living in the harshest of lands as a test of their will and endurance.

### Omens and Superstitions
Orcs believe that any seemingly unimportant discovery or event— a bear's claw marks on a tree, a flock of crows, or a sudden gust of wind— might be a a sign of communication from the gods.

If the tribe has encountered a similar omen before, the priests understand how to interpret it, but if a sign from the gods has no clear explanation, the priests might have to meditate for hours or days to get a vision of its meaning.

Every group of Orcs has particular superstitions and recognizes certain omens. These tenets vary from tribe to tribe, and are often based in events that the tribe has experienced.

### Colors of Conquest
Three colors have special meaning to all Orcs, and they adorn their bodies, possessions, and lairs with pigments that produce those hues.

Red ochre is used to represent blood, grayish-white ash to represent death, and charcoal to represent darkness.

The unwritten laws that govern the status of individual Orcs within a tribe are manifested to a degree in how each Orc uses these colors on itself and its personal items.

For instance, the chief of one tribe might be the only one that has the right to stain its tusks with red ochre, while the warriors of another tribe rub streaks of ash into their garments to signify their safe return from a raid.

### Special Enemies
When Orcs attack a settlement of Humans or Halflings, they will kill anyone who presents a threat, but they are more interested in grabbing plunder and food rather than in wanton slaughter.

When Orcs fight Elves, all of that changes. The enmity between the two races cuts to the core, and no Orc will leave an Elf alive. Orcs become so frenzied in combat against Elves that they forget all about taking loot and valuables back to the tribe- the only trophies of any worth from such a bloody display are the heads of their enemies.

Orcs treat Dwarves somewhat differently from other foes, because they covet the homes that Dwarves fashion for themselves. If a tribe succeeds in fighting its way into a Dwarfhold, the Orcs will butcher any Dwarf that stands against them, but it's really all about the property—they would be just as happy if all the Dwarves ran away.

\pagebreakNum

### Orc Names
Orcish names don't always have meaning in their language and most noteworthy Orcs are given epithets by their tribe.

***Orcish Toughness.*** Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

\columnbreak

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Orcish. Orcish is a harsh language with hard consonants. It has no script of its own but is written in the Dwarvish script.

***Subrace.*** The various Orcish subraces usually form separated tribes, but several tribes have been known to co-exist: Gray Orcs, Green Orcs, Red Orcs, and Deep Orcs.

#### Green Orcs

The large frame and verdant skin of the Green Orcs, also known as Grishari, is the first thing most think of when word of their Orcish kin is brought to the more civilized world. The quintessential form of the Orc, the Grishari live in massive tribal clans that roam the wilds.

Living within the woods and plains of this world, Green Orcs are natural hunters. Despite the common depiction of their kin as savages, these Orcs uphold a more simbiotic relationship with the world that often gives them so much.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Woodland Hunters.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, and you have resistance against poison damage. Additionally, when traveling through heavily forested or jungled environments, you can move across nonmagical difficult terrain without expending extra movement.

#### Gray Orcs

Within their thriving mountainous homelands, Gray Orcs, also known as Sikkaren, have learned to hone their innate temper. While isolationists at heart, they are fierce warriors and will not hesitate to defend their land with ruthless prejudice if they feel threatened.

Their skin most often comes in shades of gray that, in some, leans towards a lightish blue coloration. This pale complexion makes for the perfect canvas for the various paints, dyes, and inks that they use for their many shamanic rituals and monastic ceremonies.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

***Alpine Hunters.*** You have proficiency in the Survival skill and resistance to cold damage. You're also naturally adapted to cold climates, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

***Natural Mountaineers.*** Your walking speed is increased to 35 feet and nonmagical difficult terrain doesn’t cost you additional movement in mountainous or rocky terrain.

\pagebreakNum

#### Red Orcs

Red Orcs, also known as Rhashir, are often considered to be the truest of their Orcish kin. As the most devout followers of The Ruiner, Red Orcs burn with passion and rage in all that they do, making them incredible warriors above all else.

Their skin is said to be hot to the touch— a heat that only grows with their bloodlust. Most often savages and cutthroats at heart, Red Orcs are rarely given any leeway within the civilized world and are often marked as such.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.

***Arid Hunters.*** You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill and resistance to fire damage. Additionally, you have adapted to hot environments as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Deep Orcs

The Deep Orcs, more commonly known as Orogs, share few similarities with their surface world counterparts. Having spent eons hidden away from the world above, Orogs have learned to temper their blades and live a life of peace.

Still, despite their desire for peace, Orogs have not grown naive to the horrors of this world and train vigorously in order to be ready for any attack upon their peoples.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Stoic Hunters.*** You have resistance to psychic damage and you have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed or stunned conditions on yourself.

***Orog Magic.*** You know the resistance cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the compelled duel spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the silence spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either of these spells with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

Additionally, you can only spend a limited number of hours in direct sunlight, equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 30 minutes), before having to take a short rest within a shaded area to recover. For every additional hour you spend in direct sunlight, you must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 10 + Number of hours in the sun) or take a level of exhaustion.

Size. Your size is Medium.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Darkvision. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were in dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.

Keen Senses. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing or smell.

Beastial Ancestry. You hold an innate connection to an ancient beastial spirit, granting you an innate affinity for the natural world. Choose a form of beastial connection from the Beastial Ancestry options in the sections below. This determines the damage type for your other traits, as shown in the table, while also giving you a variety of additional traits depending on your given choice.

Beastial Shift. As a bonus action, you can assume a deeper connection with your Beastial Ancestry. This transformation lasts for 1 minute, until you die, or until you revert to your normal appearance as a bonus action.

Ability Score Increase. Your Charisma score increases by 1.
Skinchange. When using your Beastial Shift trait, instead of gaining any temporary hit points, you assume the form of your Beastial Ancestry, selected from the forms below when you choose this race. 
Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature.
Your Beastial Shift trait now lasts for a number of hours equal to your Proficiency Bonus, until you drop to 0 hit points, or until you choose to end it as a bonus action. 
You can stay in a beast shape for a number of hours equal to half your druid level (rounded down). You then revert to your normal form unless you expend another use of this feature. You can revert to your normal form earlier by using a bonus action on your turn. You automatically revert if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or die.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the beast, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skill and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature's bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can't use them.
When you transform, you assume the beast's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form, For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn't reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren't knocked unconscious.
You can't cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn't break your concentration on a spell you've already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as Call Lightning, that you've already cast.
You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can't use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature's shape and size. Your equipment doesn't change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can't wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

## Yuan-ti

A race at the brink of extinction, Yuan-Ti either try to blend into Human societies or keep themselves hidden away at the edge of the world.

Most try to live pious lives, hoping to be born again into a new blessed form, but some have left religion behind all together in favor of searching for a cure for the mutations which are killing their race.

### Forsaken Humanity
The Yuan-Ti were once Humans who thrived in the earliest days of Human civilization and worshiped serpents as totem animals. They lauded the serpent's sinuous flexibility, its calculated poise, and its deadly strike. Their advanced philosophy taught the virtue of detachment from emotion and of clear, focused thought.

Yuan-ti temples stood at the centers of ancient metropolises, reaching ever higher in prayer to the gods they longed to emulate. In time, the serpent gods heard those prayers, their sibilant voices responding from the darkness as they told the Yuan-Ti what they must do.

The Yuan-Ti religion grew more fanatical in its devotion. Cults bound themselves to the worship of the serpent gods and imitated their ways, indulging in cannibalism and humanoid sacrifice. Through foul sorcery, the Yuan-Ti utterly sacrificed their humanity to become like the serpent gods in form, as well as in thought and emotion.

The Yuan-Ti empire slowly withered and were finally defeated by those who fought against their cannibalism and slavery, and the serpent folk were left in the ruins of their great capitals, far removed from other races.

### Divine Mutations
The Yuan-Ti view their physical transformation as a moment of transcendence for their race, allowing them to shed their frail humanity like dead skin. Those that did not transform eventually became slaves or food for the blessed of the serpent gods, a fate they welcomed with open arms.

<br>

While all Yuan-Ti has a snake-like appearance, monstrous mutations are very common among them, ranging from a snake-head to having the lower body of a giant snake.

### Yuan-Ti Traits
Your Yuan-Ti character has the following racial traits.

***Ability Score Increases.*** Your Charisma score increases by 2 and your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Age.*** Purebloods mature at the same rate as Humans and have lifespans similar in length to theirs.

***Size.*** Purebloods match Humans in average size and weight. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Sharp Tongue.*** You have proficiency in the Deception skill.

***Poison Resistance.*** You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the poisoned condition on yourself and have resistance to poison damage.

***Mental Resilience.*** You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic.

***Snake Charmer.*** You have the ability to communicate in a limited manner with Snakes. They can understand the meaning of your words, though you have no special ability to understand them in return. You have advantage on all Wisdom and Charisma checks you make to influence them.

***Serpentine Spellcasting.*** You know the poison spray cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the sleep spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the suggestion spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either of these spells with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common, Abyssal, and Draconic.

## Aarakocra
<!--
*"It was on the third day of the week when the birdfolk walked into the tavern. His feathers were a bright red that put the fire in the hearth to shame, and his stoic expression was similar to the freezing winds outside. All he wanted to know was the fastest way to 'Tyar-Besil', and then he left. I don't know who lives at this Tyar-Besil, but I suspect I'll never find out."*

— Douglas Redwood, *Birds of Prey*

</div>
-->

Sequestered in high mountains atop tall trees, the Aarakocra, sometimes called birdfolk, evoke fear and wonder. Many Aarakocra aren't even native to the Material Plane.

They hail from a world beyond-from the boundless vistas of the Elemental Plane of Air. They are immigrants, scouts, and explorers, their outposts functioning in a world both strange and alien.

### Beak and Feather
From below, Aarakocra look much like large birds. Only when they decend to roost on a branch or walk across the ground does their humanoid appearance reveal itself. Standing upright, Aarakocra might reach 5 feet tall, and they have long, narrow legs that taper to sharp talons.

Feathers cover their bodies. Their plumage typically denotes membership in a tribe. Males are brightly coloured, with feathers of red, orange, or yellow. Females have more subdued colours, usually brown or grey. Their heads complete the avian appearance, often resembling common birds, such as eagles, hawks, or parrots.

### Sky Wardens
Nowhere are the Aarakocra more comfortable than the sky. They can spend hours in the air, and some go as long as days, locking their wings in place and letting the thermals hold them aloft.

In battle, they prove dynamic and acrobatic fliers, moving with remarkable speed and grace, diving to lash opponents with weapons before turning and flying away.

Once airborn, an Aarakocra leaves the sky with reluctance. On their native plane, they can fly for days or months, landing only to lay their eggs and feed their young before launching themselves back into the air.

Those that make it to a world in the Material Plane find it a strange place. They sometimes forget or ignore vertical distances, and they have only pity for earthbound people forced to live and toil on the ground.

### Avian Mannerisms
The resemblance of Aarakocra to birds isn't limited to physical features. Aarakocra display many of the same mannerisms of ordinary birds. They are fastidious about their plumage, frequently tending their feathers, cleaning and scratching away any tiny passengers they may have collected.

Many Aarakocra punctuate their speech with chirps, sounds they use to convey emphasis and to shade meaning, much as a Human might through facial expressions and gestures. An Aarakocra might become frustrated with people who fail to pick up on the nuances; an Aarakocra's threat might be taken as a jest and vice versa.

The idea of ownership baffles most Aarakocra. After all, who owns the sky? Even when explained to them, the initially find the notion of ownership mystifying. As a result, Aarakocra who have little interaction with other people might be a nuisance as they snatch livestock or plunder harvests for fruits and grains. Shiny, glittering objects catch their eyes. They find it hard not to pluck the treasure and bring it back to their settlement to beautify it. An Aarakocra who spends years among other races can learn to inhibit these impulses.

\columnbreak

<br>

> ##### Aarakocra Backgrounds
>
> Backgrounds that are most appropriate for the Aarakocra include the outlander, the hermit, and the sage.
>
> The small colonies of Aarakocra that exist are usually insular and remote, and few Aarakocra live away from their roosts; no more than a few dozen Aarakocra live away from the nests of their families. Those that do are usually fighters or rangers, constantly patrolling for outside threats.

\pagebreakNum

Confinement terrifies the Aarakocra. To be grounded, trapped underground, or imprisoned by the cold, unyielding earth is a torment few Aarakocra can withstand. Even when perched on a high branch or at rest in their mountaintop homes, they appear alert and ready to take flight.

### Homelands
Most Aarakocra live on the Elemental Plane of Air. Aarakocra can be drawn into the Material Plane, sometimes to pursue enemies or thwart their foes' designs there.

Accident might also send a nest of Aarakocra tumbling into a world on that plane. A few find their way to such a world through portals on their own plane and establish nests in high mountains or in the canopies of old forests.

Once tribes of Aarakocra settle in an area, they share a hunting territory that extends across an area up to 100 miles on a side, with each tribe hunting in the lands nearest to their colony, ranging further should game become scarce.

### Great Purpose
Aarakocra enjoy peace and solitude. Most of them have little intrest in dealing with other people. For this reason, it takes an exceptional circumstances for an Aarakocra to leave their tribe and undertake the adventurer's life.

Neither treasure nor glory is enough to lure them from their tribes; a dire threat to their people, a mission of vengeance, or a catastrophe typically lies at the heart of the Aarakocra adventurer's chosen path.

Two other circmstances might call an Aarakocra to adventure. First, Aarakocra have historical ties to the Wind Dukes of Aqaa. Exceptional individuals honor that connection and might seek out the missing pieces of the *Rod of Seven Parts*, the remains of an artifact fashioned by the Wind Dukes long ago to defeat the Queen of Chaos' monsterous champion, Miska the Wolf-Spider.

When plunged into Miska's body, the chaos in his blood sundered the rod and scattered its pieces across the multiverse. Recovering the pieces means gaining honor and esteem in the eyes of the vaati who forged it and could possibly restore a powerful weapon for defence against the agents of elemental evil.

Second, Aarakocra are sworn foes of elemental earth, in particular the gargoyles that serve Ogrémoch, the Prince of Earth. The Aarakocra word for gargoyle is loosely translated as “flying rock,” and battles between Aarakocra and gargoyles have raged across the Elemental Planes of Earth and Air.

Occasionally this fight will spill into the world of the Material Plane. Aarakocra on that plane might leave their colonies to lend aid to other humanoids committed to fighting earthen cults and thwarting their efforts.

### Aarakocra Names
As with much of their speech, Aarakocra names include clicksand whistles to the point that other peoples have a difficult time pronouncing them.

Typically, a name has two to four syllables with the sounds acting as connectors. When interacting with other races, Aarakocra may use nicknames gained from people they meet or shortened forms of their full names.

___
**Aarakocra Names:** Aera, Aial, Aur, Deekek, Errk, Heehk,

Ikki, Kleeck, Ouss, Quaf, Quierk, Salleek, Urreek, Zeed.

### Aarakocra Personality
The Aarakocra rarely live a life outside their village, and it shows in the way they act around others. You can select, roll, or adapt a Aarakocra-specific quirk from the Aarakocra Quirks table. Use the quirk to inform how you portray your character.

##### Aarakocra Quirks

| d6 | Quirk |
|:-:|:-|
| 1 | You assume that anything anyone offers you is free. If they wanted you to pay for it, why would they hand it to you?
| 2 | You hate sleeping indoors, and would much rather be perched in a sturdy branch.
| 3 | You can't help but attempt to keep your friends clean, and are always brushing dust off them.
| 4 | You often take small object and trinkets that you don't think others will miss.
| 5 | You sometimes think that Dwarves are blind because they live underground.
| 6 | You believe no other race appreciates the wide, open air as much as you do.

### Aarakocra Traits
As an Aarakocra, you have certain traits in common with other Aarakocra.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Aarakocra reach maturity by age 3. Compared to Humans, Aarakocra don't usually live longer than 50 years.

***Size.*** Aarakocra are about 5 feet tall. They have thin, lightweight bodies that weigh between 80 and 100 pounds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

***Flight.*** Because of your wings, you have a flying speed of 30 feet. You can't use this flying speed if you're wearing medium or heavy armor.

Additionally, you're acclimated to high altitudes, including elevations above 20,000 feet, and you're also naturally adapted to strong wind, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Auran.

***Subrace.*** Like their avian counterparts, Aarakocra come in many shapes and sizes which are expressed through their five subraces: The Avariens, Strixens, Scavens, Swellows, and Sephirens.

#### Avariens

The Avariens are the most noble of the Aarakocran peoples. Given the natural form of a hunter, akin to the likes of many birds of prey you may find in the wild, the Avariens are the deadliest of their kin with large, sharpened talons and a sense of superiority within the skies. Bound to a code of honor, the Avariens are noble warriors and protectors of their homelands with an affinity for positions of leadership.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.

***Keen Sight.*** You have proficiency in the Perception skill, and you have advantage on Perception checks while flying.

<br>

***Talons.*** You have talons that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

***Dive Bomb.*** While flying, you can use a bonus action to take the Dash action. When taking the Dash action with this trait, you must move directly toward a hostile creature you can see or hear that is below you, ending this movement closer to the enemy than you started. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Whenever you use this trait to move at least 30 feet down towards a target, you have advantage on the first attack you make against the target with your Talons on this turn. When attacking a target with your talons in this way, if the attack hits, it deals additional damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus.

#### Strixens

The nocturnal life of a Strixen is often left a mystery to those beyond their inner circles. They are often isolationists at heart, choosing a life where they may gain a deeper understanding of these natural lands that most simply take for granted. With an affinity for the shadows, Strixens are said to have an intimate connection of the night sky and glimmering moons above.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Superior Darkvision.*** You can see in dim light within 90 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

***Talons.*** Your have talons that you can use to make unarmed strikes. You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls when using your talons. When you hit with them, the strike deals slashing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

***Silent Soaring.*** You have proficiency in the Stealth skill and have advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks while flying at night.

\columnbreak

\pagebreakNum

***Out of Sight.*** You’ve learned the ways of an ambush predator. While flying, when you take the Attack action against a creature that you are hidden from, you can make a special attack with your Talons.

If the attack hits, you deal additional damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus and the target of the attack must make a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier + your Proficiency Bonus), or be grappled by you. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Scavens

Often seen as outcasts of Aarakocran culture, the Scavens are scavengers by trade and isolationsists at heart. Scavens are selfish and full of cowardice, traits that, more often than not, lead to their kind working within less than reputable positions. Cutthroats, theives, bandits, you name it, the Scavens have found root within any and every underground ring they could find.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.

***Carrion Eater.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, resistance against poison damage, and immunity to disease.

***Beak.*** You have a jagged beak that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with it, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

***Hungry Maw.*** You are always ready for your next meal. As a bonus action, you can make a special attack with your Beak. If the attack hits, it deals its normal damage, and you gain temporary hit points equal to your Proficiency Bonus. If this attack drops the target to 0 hit points, the number of temporary hit points gained is doubled. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Swellens

The smallest of the Aarakocran people, the Swellens are swift and sweet. Despite being the fastest flyers of the bunch, Swellens are renown for their need to prove themselves. Whether it be in their studies or physical prowess or even simple hobbies, Swellens have a hidden drive to be the best at all they can, making them exceptional fighters and scholars.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Little Bird.*** These Aarakocra are between 3 and 4 feet tall and often weigh between 50 and 60 pounds. Your size is Small. Additionally, you can move through the space of any creature that is of a larger size than you and, while obscured by such a creature, you may attempt to hide behind them.

***Fast Flight.*** Your flying speed is increased to 35 and enemies have disadvantage on opportunity attacks against you while you are flying.

***Controlled Flyer.*** Due to your small build and short wingspan, you have a much finer control over your flight than most others of your kind, allowing you to fly in many areas you otherwise would not be able to, such as thick forests, cramped buildings, narrow streets, etc.

### Sephirens

The Sephirens are the epitome of grace and beauty amongst the Aarakocran peoples. With a natural talent for the arts, Sephirens are enthralling performers and inspiring leaders, able to bring heart and levity to situations that few others could. Their naturally bright plumage and melodic voices have led to many of their kind finding a lasting profession as performers of varying talents.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.

***Natural Melody.*** You have a natural ability to create catchy tunes and melodies on the fly. You have proficiency with the Persuasion and Performance skills and have advantage on Charisma (Performance) checks that rely on your voice.

You and one creature of your choice within 15 feet of you gain a number of temporary hit points equal to your Proficiency Bonus. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

## Centaur
<!--
*Kardus wore his black hair as any Elf, and woven into it were a number of charms and ornaments. He carried more such charms on his necklace, and others upon the broad belt that lay upon his hips. Some of them were bespelled- gifts from other Wildmages- since if Kardus could not cast spells of his own, that certainly did not keep him from taking advantage of the magic others gave him. His horselike body- for the Centaurs only closely resembled horses, being actually smaller and stockier- was as black as his hair, and he had three white feet, a pattern Kellen had not seen in any other Centaur.* 
 
-- Mercedes Lackey,  *When Darkness Falls*
 <div style='margin-top:20px'></div>

-->

Centaur come in many different forms, and live in many different places- from secluded forests and great mountains, to the wide open grasslands, their connection with the natural world, and their bodies that so perfectly blend the mortal with the animal are probably their greatest single unifying traits.
 
### Strong and Wise
A Centaur is physically defined by an almost perfect blend of beastly and humanoid traits. They have well-muscled bodies, and even the lithest among them having a certain supple strength.

Mentally they are as intelligent as any other mortal race, with an intution and a sense for animals that far surpasses their more Human counterparts. 
 
### A Tribal People
Regardless of type, Centaur communities take two forms-- the first is traditionally known as the herd: roving tribes of Centaur following their food sources and staying ahead of their enemies. The other is distinctly modern: mixed rural communities of Centaur and others whom work hand in hand to protect and sustain their existences.

In either case, Centaur hold loyalty to the community as high in their esteem and will certainly fight to preserve the safety of their herd.

Centaur are usually serious and hardworking with a typically stern disposition, but that isn't to suggest that they are always morose, the typical Centaur loves to celebrate the culmination of their labors with good food and drink, laughter amongst friends, and dancing.

<br>

Centaur respond to danger with courage and boldness, putting the safety of the herd before their own. Amidst the weapons used by Centaur Warriors, hafted weapons like spears and axes are particularly beloved.

Other Centaur choose to protect their communities with powerful druidic magic and most Centaur communities are led or advised by some variety of druidic shaman.

### Wary of Outsiders
Centaur communities, whether they be mixed race or purely Centaur, are typically deeply suspicious of outsiders. Those from outside the herd are seen as potential dangers, and are unlikely to be trusted.

For this reason, most such communities will be loath to ask for outside help, even as problems present themselves as being too large to handle.

Once the trust of the herd has been achieved however, there are few more loyal allies. Centaur make loyal companions, and tend to make friends for life- viewing life as a series of hardships to be overcome by strong bonds of family and friendship.

### Centaur Names
Centaur favor names that favor a hard consonant in every syllable. For surnames they tend to identify themselves as a member of a regional herd, more than individual families- as a result such a name can change over the course of their life as their herd itself might change.

**Male Names:** Kardus, Tinskell, Sarm, Seltari, Burdock.

**Female Names:** Selva, Kori, Helgra, Valtora, Chamri.

**Herd Names:** Herd of the Great Forest, Herd of the River

Plains, Herd of the Western Pass.

\pagebreakNum

### Centaur traits
Your Centaur has a variety of natural abilities, the result of their unique physicality and culture.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score is increased by 2.

***Age.*** Centaurs mature and age at about the same rate as Humans.

***Size.*** Centaurs stand between 8 to 10 feet tall, with their equine bodies reaching out far behind their humanoid torso. Your size is Large, but for the purposes of grappling other creatures, wielding weapons, and lifting with your upper body, you are considered Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 45 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** Accustomed to twilit forests and the night sky, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Equine Build.*** Your equine form imposes various restrictions from preventing you from mounting another creature to preventing you from using any humanoid equipment not fit for your frame, such as armor. This means that all armor you wear must be specialized barding, or else designed specifically for Centaurs, in order for you to benefit from its AC.

***Mounted Combatants.*** Allied creatures of a size smaller than you can use your equine build as a mount. When doing so, you continue to move and act independently on your own turn and the mounted combatant may hold their initiative till your turn to act in tandem with your own. Additionally, you can choose to buck a creature off of your back, making a contested Strength (Athletics) check with advantage to do so.

***Sure-Footed.*** Your quadrupedal stature makes you particularly hard to knock over. When a creature attempts to knock you prone or move you against your will, you have advantage on the ability check or saving throw to resist it.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

***Subrace.*** There are three subraces of Centuar (the Coursera, the Tauris, and the Alsied) formed into various tribes based upon the origins of their equine build and natural affinities.

#### Coursera

As a Coursera, you are the quickest amongst your kind. With a love of the wilds, they'd rather be found racing through the plains and woods they call home than anything else.

Courseras are known to be stern and capable warriors, soldiers fully capable of facing and overwhelming incredible threats . The Courseras live together with the Wild Elves and Beastial Races of the woods, where they protect the sacred forests of their homeland.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score is increased by 1.

***Courseran Toughness.*** Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

***Fearless Combatant.*** You have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. When used as a mount, you may choose to give your rider advantage on saving throws against being frightened as well.

***Natural Affinity.*** Your fey connection to nature gives you an intuitive connection to the natural. You have proficiency in two of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Athletics, Medicine, Nature, Perception, or Survival.

\pagebreakNum

#### Tauris

As a Tauris, you are the toughest Centaur breed. Smaller than their equine cousins, your herd lives picking its way through mountain passes and other high places.

Regardless of conditions, the tough goat-like bodies of the Tauris are ready to endure and adapt and herds of Tauris have been known to range the same mountains for generations.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score is increased by 1.

***Alpine Adept.*** You have resistance to cold damage. You're also naturally adapted to cold climates, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

***Hooves.*** Your hooves are natural melee weapons, with which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.

Additionally, once per turn, if you move at least 10 feet before attempting to shove a creature no more than one size larger than you, you may use your hooves to give you advantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so.

***Natural Mountaineer.*** Nonmagical difficult terrain doesn’t cost you additional movement in mountainous or rocky terrain. Additionally, whenever you make a Strength (Athletics) check related to climbing or jumping, you are considered proficient in the given check. If you are already proficient in Athletics, you may instead add double your Proficiency Bonus to the check.

\columnbreak

#### Alsied

As an Alsied, life for your herd is intimately tied to a mystical understanding of the natural world. The most prolific magic users among the different breeds of Centaur, they possess keen minds and the slender, agile bodies of deer.

Alsied herds live in the forested lands of the Feywild, where they spend their time as natural guardians of its beautifully strange and ever enchanting woodlands, warding off any attempts from the outside world to taint their homeland.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom is increased by 1.

***Natural Recall.*** You always know which direction is north, and you have advantage on any Wisdom (Survival) check you make to navigate or track.

***Heart of the Woods.*** You know the druidcraft cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the hail of thorns spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the beast sense spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

## Gnoll

<!--
WE ARRIVED IN THE RUINS OF THE VILLAGE ON <br> *the third day. Based on the carnage, it was almost certainly Gnolls; Orcs and Goblins generally aren't inclined to eat their victims. The flesh and muscle had been stripped from nearly every corpse, and in a few cases the bones had even been broken open for the marrow inside. In one place it appeared as though the Gnolls' insatiable hunger had even led them to try and eat the wooden walls of a storage shed. Looking upon carnage such as that makes it difficult to see Gnolls as anything other than pure evil. They are like a plague upon the land, their numbers and their trail of destruction only increasing with each raid.*

– Garret Gamwich, *A Journal of Journeys*

</div>
-->

A race born from madness and slaughter, Gnolls are trying to find their place in the civilized world. Most tribes wander the world searching for a purpose, through signs or through action, hoping to find reason for their existence.

Some tribes even choose to return to their old ways, abandoning everything they are in exchange for power and purpose. By doing so, they are life are based one single thought; how to sate their now endless hunger.

### Two-legged Beasts
Gnolls are very tall creatures with a greenish-gray skin, and their furry hide a light or dark brown hue, sometimes marked with spots or stripes. Many Gnolls also have a dirty yellow to reddish-gray crest-like mane that stands on end when they are angry.

Distinguishing a male from a female is almost impossible, the only reliable way to tell the difference, other than through a close physical examination, is if a female is pregnant or openly nursing.

Gnolls have short lifespans compared to other humanoids, living only 50 or so years on average and maturing to adulthood at a remarkable speed. Gnolls do not, however, age particularly dramatically except at the end of their lifespans, at which point the decline quickly ends in their death. When a Gnoll dies, its bones are occasionally harvested by the other Gnolls and used in rituals, some demonic in nature.

<br>

### Demonic Origin
The first Gnolls came into existence when the demon lord Yeenoghu rampaged across the material plane. Wherever he went, packs of hyenas followed in his wake, scavenging on his kills. Any that ate from a corpse slain by Yeenoghu was transformed into a Gnoll, filled with an insatiable hunger for more flesh.

The first Gnolls followed after Yeenoghu, continuing to scavenge off his destruction. Once Yeenoghu was banished back to the abyss, the Gnolls were left to find their own sources of food - and so began their own slaughter.

As time passed and Yeenoghu's touch upon the material plane lessened, the Gnolls had to find their own way. The craving of the hunt and primal bloodlust that inhabited the Gnoll mind, coupled with their bloody history, made it impossible to join other humanoid settlements. This led them to live nomadic lives, moving across the plains as they kept their distance while searching for food and other salvage.

### Belligerent Outcasts
The perception of Gnolls has slowly changed over time for the better, but few would welcome one into their home since they are often viewed as feral, aggressive, and untrustworthy. Gnolls start fighting among one another at a very early age, and most are brought up around the principles that *might makes right*.

\pagebreakNum

> ##### Four-legged Kin
> Many Gnolls have an affinity for hyenas, who many see as their brethren and whom they keep as pets or for hunting.

For example, a Gnoll is more likely to demand answers than it is to actually ask a question. Gnolls, however, does not see this as an act of hostility, but rather a basic demonstration of strength.Most Gnolls befriend or at least peacefully interact with the members of other races, offering their services as trappers, hunters, or mercenaries. However, they generally prefer their own kind and rarely visit villages dominated by members of another race.

### Different Tribes
The large majority of tribes find themselves in the traveling the wilds, spending their days hunting and scavenging whatever they can find. Almost all Gnolls prefers the wilderness to the civilized enclaves favored by Humans, Dwarves, or other similar races and those that do take to cities usually think of them as just another kind of landscape.

The Gnolls within a civilized settlement most often find themselves as hunters, trappers, mercenaries, or bounty hunters, putting their reputation and natural strengths to good use. The Gnoll tribes which still practice abyssal magic, give both body and mind to their abyssal lord. By channeling the power and hunger of Yeenoghu, they justify the fear most feel when they hear the blood-curdling howl of a warband.

### Insatiable Hunger
All Gnolls retain the natural Gnoll bloodlust but most try take no joy in torture or unnecessary cruelty, embracing hunting and tracking over outright slaughter. Some tribes choose to succumb to Yeenoghu, and a Gnoll under his influence are almost entirely consumed by a single drive: to eat.

A warband of such Gnolls will travel across the countryside killing and eating any living thing they can find. They revel in the kill and in the feast; the more violent the slaughter and the more indulgent the feast, the better.

Their hunger is almost never sated; a warband may stop for a few days after consuming the denizens and livestock of a particularly large town, but they will inevitably be on the move again. In the absence of other food sources, Gnolls will even eat each other in desperation.

Even a Gnoll who never have heard of Yeenoghu can feel this hunger surfacing from time to time. Properly utilized, this hunger will make them devastating combatants. Uncontrolled, many have found their teeth around the neck of one of their allies before meeting a premature death.

### Scavenging Survivors
Gnolls have a propensity for scavenging, a tendency that leads many Gnolls to collect trophies that remind them of past victories. Gnoll trackers use this to their benefit, keeping scraps of clothing or other objects with the scent of their prey on them to point them in the direction of their quarry.

This propensity extends to arms and weaponry since few Gnolls have an interest in crafting. This gives Gnoll armor a unique aesthetic where each suit is typically made of scavenged pieces of armor kitbashed together.

Unlike most races, Gnolls have had few, if any, qualms about eating the dead of other races. When Gnoll warbands strike a village they do not only leave no survivors but no corpses, eating most of those whom they don't take as slaves.

There are even indications that some Gnolls have taken this practice a step further, actually raiding graveyards for fresh corpses on which to feed.

\pagebreakNum

### Practical Belief
Most often worshipers of the demon lord Yeenoghu, the large majority of Gnolls pay only nominal reverence. Few Gnolls have any interest in rituals and there are few clerics or shamans to be found among their packs.

Typically, Gnolls see their very brutality as a sign of their devotion to the demon lord, and howling his name as their prayer. There are some that are fanatically devoted to their dark overlord and venerate him by celebrating their victories with demonic rituals and blood offerings.

Occasionally, Yeenoghu rewards such a celebrant by allowing the Gnoll to be possessed by a demonic spirit, marking them as one of his chosen. Such Gnolls are known as Fangs of Yeenoghu. Hyenas that feast upon the slain foe of one of the Fangs are transformed into full-grown Gnolls, allowing Fangs to quickly increase the population.

### Gnoll Names
Gnoll names often sound like growls to members of other races, featuring multiple "r" sounds. Gnoll tribal names, although not widely shared with other creatures, are usually compound words as in the following examples:

**Gnoll Names:** Arrna, Derror, Grerr, Mirrin, Remmar, Ryssa, Thrrae Thurrg

**Tribal Names:** Abysseye, Bloodfist, Deathmaw, Greatfang, Madhowl, Thunderdance.

### Gnoll Traits
Your Gnoll character has the following traits.

***Ability Score Increases*** Your Strength score increases by 2 and your Constitution score increases by 1.

***Age.*** Gnolls reach adulthood by the age of 8 and can live up to 50 years, though due to their violent lifestyle, they rarely see their 20’s.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Darkvision.*** The ability to see in total darkness is an attribute of Yeenoghu which still lingers within your blood. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

***Dreadful Hunters.*** You have proficiency in the Intimidation and Survival skills.

***Sensitive Nose.*** You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on smell. If you have been within 5 feet of a creature, you can discern their individual smell on a successful Wisdom (Perception) check.

***Carrion Eater.*** You have advantage on saving throws against poison, resistance against poison damage, and immunity to disease.

***Bite.*** Your bone-crunching maw is filled with razor-sharp fangs and is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.

***Rampage.*** When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can use a bonus action to move up to half your speed towards a creature that you can see and make a Bite attack against it.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common, Abyssal, and Gnoll. Gnoll consists of whines, cackles, and howls, and has no written form.

> ##### The Hunter's Chant
> This simple declaration of Yeenoghu's power was devised by a small cult to the demon lord discovered deep in the forest. A group of woodcutters, facing starvation, turned to cannibalism to survive and ultimately fell under Yeenoghu's sway. Gnolls sing a similar chant in their language while they seek out prey.

## Harengon

Across hills and plains, and sometimes deep in the forests, the Harengon are a lighthearted nomadic race of the Feywild, with each tribe consisting of up to ten or fifteen families. They have a love for a good meal and casual conversation, like that of a Halfling, but a restless love for adventure and travel like those of Humans.

Most Harengon tribes move around often, only staying in a location for a few months at a time. The only tribes that stay for extended periods of time are those that have expanded to a greater population, to a point where it is no longer practical to stay on the move.

### Superstitious, Yet Practical

Harengon society are very superstitious and have a rich body of lore and myths passed down from generation to generation. They prefer to be ruled by a small collection of leaders formed of the most skilled and wisest of the tribe.

Some Harengon tribes may follow a deity, but most believe more in the power of nature and the mystery of the fey. However, it is rare to find any Harengon that does not firmly believe in luck, much less some sort of charm that they believe is lucky.

Because of this, many Harengon enjoy trying their hand at various games of luck and chance, often finding themselves frequenting gambling rings, if they are not already involved with those that run it.

### Quick and Crafty

Harengon vary in height, ranging from about 3’10” to 6’5″ and are light on their feet, usually weighing in at about 60-70 pounds. Their hair color changes depending on the environment they were born in, with most Harengon that live in hills and plains ranging from a dark blonde or brown to a deep black.

Harengon that live in deep forests often have a lighter hair color. Most of them have buck teeth and mouths similar to rabbits and all Harengon have long, rabbit-like ears. Their legs are also like that of rabbits, allowing them to jump and run faster than most cretures. They mature at around the same age as Humans do, but live to about 120-150 years old.

<br>

### Harengon Names

Harengon names tend to sound human, although their surnames usually follow those of the tribe’s name, regardless of them being from different families.

**Male Names:** Eldon, Finnick, Erlan, Cade, Andrei

**Female Names:** Vani, Merria, Dalia, Runa,

**Surnames:** Quickfoot, Dashfeather, Doublering

### Harengon Traits
Your Harengon character has the following racial traits.

***Ability Score Increases.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Charisma score increases by 1.

***Age.*** Harengon reach adulthood by the age of 10 and can live up to a hundred years.

***Size.*** Harengon can stand anywhere between 4 and 7 feet tall and weigh between 100 and 250 pounds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

***Hare-Trigger.*** You may add your Proficiency Bonus to your initiative rolls and, while conscious, you cannot be surprised.

***Leporine Senses.*** You have proficiency in the Perception skill. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception), Wisdom (Survival), and Intelligence (Investigation) checks that involve hearing.

***Lucky Footwork.*** When you fail a Dexterity saving throw, you can use your reaction to roll a d4 and add it to the save, potentially turning the failure into a success. You can't use this reaction if you're prone or your speed is 0.

***Scrample Step.*** Without squeezing, you can move through and stop in a space large enough for a Small creature. Additionally, when traveling through heavily forested or jungled environments, you can move across nonmagical difficult terrain without expending extra movement.

***Rabbit Hop.*** As a bonus action, you can jump a number of feet equal to five times your Proficiency Bonus, without provoking opportunity attacks. You can use this trait only if your speed is greater than 0. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

## Kenku

Haunted by an ancient crime that robbed them of their wings, the Kenku wander the world as vagabonds and burglars who live at the edge of Human society. Kenku suffer from a sinister reputation that is not wholly unearned, but they can prove to be valuable allies.

### An Ancient Curse
The Kenku once served a mysterious, powerful entity on another plane of existence. Some believe they were minions of Grazz't, while others say that they were scouts and explorers for the Wind Dukes of Aaqa.

Whatever the truth, according to legend, the Kenku betrayed their master. Unable to resist the lure of a beautiful sparkling treasure, the Kenku plotted to steal the item and escape to the Material Plane.

Unfortunately for the Kenku, their master discovered their plan before they could enact it. Enraged, the entity imposed three dreadful curses upon them. First, the Kenku's beloved wings withered and fell away from their bodies, leaving them bound to the earth. Second, because their ingenuity and skill had turned toward scheming against their patron, the spark of creativity was torn from their souls.

Finally, to ensure that the Kenku could never divulge any secrets, their master took away their voices. Once the entity was satisfied that they had been sufficiently punished, the Kenku were set loose on the Material Plane.

Since then, the Kenku have wandered the world. They settle in places that accept them, usually bleak cities that have fallen on hard times and are overrun with crime.

### Dreams of Flight
Above all else, Kenku wish to regain their ability to fly. Every Kenku is born with a desire to take to the air, and those who learn spellcasting do so in hope of mastering spells that will allow them to fly.

Rumors of magic items such as flying carpets, brooms capable of flight, and similar objects provoke a great desire for the Kenku to acquire the items for themselves. Despite their lack of wings, Kenku love dwelling in towers and other tall structures.

They seek out ruins that reach to the sky, though they lack the motivation and creativity to make repairs or fortify such places. Even so, their light weight and size allow them to dwell in rickety structures that would otherwise collapse.

Some thieves' guilds use Kenku as lookouts and messengers. The Kenku dwell in the tallest buildings and towers the guild controls, allowing them to lurk in the highest levels and to keep watch on the city below.

### Hopeless Plagiarists
As, a result of their lack of creativity, Kenku function comfortably as minions of a powerful master. Flock leaders enforce discipline and minimize conflicts, but they fail at effective planning or crafting longterm schemes.

Although unable to speak in their own voices, Kenku can perfectly mimic any sound they hear, from a Halfling's voice to the noise of rocks clattering down a hillside.

However, Kenku cannot create new sounds and can communicate only by using sounds they have heard. Most Kenku use a combination of overheard phrases and sound effects to convey their ideas and thoughts. By the same token, Kenku have no ability to invent new ideas or create new things. Kenku can copy existing items with exceptional skill, allowing them to become excellent artisans and scribes.

They can copy books, make replicas of objects, and otherwise thrive in situations where they can produce large numbers of identical items. Few Kenku find this work satisfying, since their quest for the freedom of flight makes them ill-suited to settle into a routine.

### Kenku Adventurers
Kenku adventurers are usually the survivors of a flock that has sustained heavy losses, or a rare Kenku who has grown weary of a life of crime. These Kenku are more ambitious and daring than their fellows. Others strike out on their own in search of the secrets of flight, to master magic, or uncover the secret of their curse and find a method to break it.

Kenku adventurers, despite their relative independence, still have a tendency to seek out a companion to emulate and follow. A Kenku loves to mimic the voice and words of its chosen companion.

\pagebreakNum

\columnbreak

### Kenku Names
Given that Kenku can duplicate any sound, their names are drawn from a staggering variety of noises and phrases. Kenku names tend to break down into three categories that make no distinction between male and female names.

Kenku thugs, warriors, and toughs adopt noises made by weapons, such as the clang of a mace against armor or the sound made by a breaking bone. Non-Kenku refer to the Kenku by describing this noise in ways such as Smasher, Clanger, Slicer, and Basher.

Kenku thieves, con artists, and burglars adopt animal noises, typically those common in urban settings. In this manner, Kenku can call out to each other while those who overhear them mistake them for common animals. Non-Kenku use names that refer to the sound made or the animal a Kenku mimics, such as Rat Scratch, Whistler, and Growler.

Some Kenku turn their back on crime to pursue legitimate trades. These Kenku adopt noises made as part of their craft. A sailor duplicates the sound of a fluttering sail, while a smith mimics the clanging of a hammer on metal. Non-Kenku describe these folk by their trade sounds, such as Sail Snap, Hammerer, and Cutter.

### Kenku Traits
Your Kenku character has the following racial traits.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Kenku have shorter lifespans than Humans. They reach maturity at about 12 years old and can live to 120.

***Size.*** Kenku stand between 3 and 4 feet tall and weigh between 60 and 90 pounds. Your size is Small.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Illusory Sight.*** You have advantage on all ability checks made to reveal the true nature of an illusion.

***Expert Duplication.*** You have proficiency with forgery kits and advantage on ability checks you make to produce exact duplicates of writing or craftwork.

***Mimicry.*** You can accurately mimic sounds you have heard, including voices. A creature that hears the sounds you make can tell they are imitations only with a successful Wisdom (Insight) check against a DC of 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Charisma modifier.

***Kenku Recall.*** Thanks to your supernaturally good memory, you have proficiency in two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Perception, Performance, Sleight of Hand, and Stealth.

Moreover, when you make an ability check using one of these chosen skills, you can give yourself advantage on the check before rolling the d20. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common, Auran, and one additional language of your choice.

***Subrace.*** When the Kenku were first cursed, their now flightless people turned to four separate divine entities, leading to the four subraces known today: Blackwings, Shadehunters, Plaguewalkers, and Corpseflowers.

<div style='margin-top:20px;'></div>

> ##### Roleplaying a Kenku
> If you're playing a Kenku, constant attempts to mimic noises can come across as confusing or irritating rather than entertaining. You can just as easily describe the sounds your character makes and what they mean. Be clear about your character's intentions.
>
> You might say, "Snapper makes the noise of a hammer slowly and rhythmically tapping a stone to show how bored he is. He plays with his dagger and studies the Lords' Alliance agent sitting at the bar." Creating a vocabulary of noises for the other players to decode might sound like fun, but it can prove distracting.

#### Blackwings

As followers of the Matron Above and Below, the Blackwings aim to uphold the angellic guise they were once known for. Blackwings live to protect this world while bringing a reason to smile to all of its people.

## Lizardfolk

Only a fool looks at the Lizardfolk and sees nothing more than scaly humanoids. Their physical shape notwithstanding, Lizardfolk have more in common with iguanas or dragons than they do with Humans, Dwarves, or Elves.

Despite their alien outlook, some Lizardfolk make an effort to understand and, in their own manner, befriend people of other races. Such Lizardfolk make faithful and skilled allies.

### Tribal Warriors
Lizardfolk are a people unlike any other; feeling no emotion, yet fiercely loyal to their tribe. Their need to prove themselves in battle makes them dangerous neighbors, and they are constantly involved in tribal warfare. Their culture of war has prevented them from advancing past their old ways.

Unlike most humanoids, they do not form familial bonds, instead bonding with their tribe. Any Lizardfolk would risk their life to protect the hatchlings of their tribe. Even the females that lay clutches of eggs view all of the hatchlings, even those they didn't hatch themselves, as their children.

### Honor and Violence
Lizardfolk society is governed by a strict caste system based on personal reputation. Lizardfolk increase their standing by overcoming enemies that are their equal, or better. They have no interest in fighting the weak, and they will stop at nothing to test their skill in battle against more powerful foes.

Lizardfolk view their lives, and all of their actions, through this lens. After they hatch, they have one year to accomplish enough great deeds to earn their place as an adult member of their tribe. If they fail to meet this expectation they are exiled from the tribe or killed in honor duels by their clutchmates.

### Lizardfolk Names
Lizardfolk hatchlings are named for their appearance. If they survive to adulthood they are given a new name based on how they established their reputation.

Most Lizardfolk take their names from the Draconic language making use of simple descriptives granted by the tribe based on an individual’s notable deeds or actions.

Lizardfolk take their names from the Draconic language. They use simple descriptives granted by the tribe based on an individual’s notable deeds or actions. For example, Garurt translates as “Axe,” a name given to a Lizardfolk warrior who defeated an Orc and claimed his foe’s weapon.

A Lizardfolk who likes to hide in a stand of reeds before ambushing an animal might be called Achuak, which means “Green” to describe how she blends into the foliage.

***Hatchling Titles.*** Blackclaw, Dreadspine, Greenscale, Heavystep, Longtooth, Quickfinn, Rotfang, Widemaw.

***Lizardfolk Names.*** Achuak (Green), Aryte (War), Baeshra (Animal), Darastrix (Dragon), Jhank (Hammer), Kepesk (Storm), Othokent (Smart), Valignat (Burn), Vutha (Black)

***Adult Titles.*** Bonecrusher, Firewalker, Heartsplitter, Kingbreaker, Lightthief, Trollslayer, Wyrmeater.

***Age.*** Lizardfolk reach maturity around age 14 and rarely live longer than 60 years.

***Subrace.*** Lizardfolk can be found in all shapes and sizes, adapting again and again over generations to best make use of their surroundings, resulting  in the following subraces.

#### Plainswalkers

The Plainswalkers are brutish warriors that live within roving tribes of raiders and marauders. Within their nomadic lifestyle, the Plainswalkers never stay in one place for too long, choosing instead to travel from land to land without returning to a single location for years at a time.

#### Sandscales

Within the arid deserts and badlands of this world, the Sandscales' light, dexterous build allows them to glide across the scorching sands with ease, a trait that fits well with the cowardice that they are well known for.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

\pagebreakNum

#### Venomfangs

Born of the jungle, Venomfangs have lithe builds made for stalking through the high canopies of their homeland. An eclectic bunch, Venomfangs live within small clans that dwell deep within the jungles, rarely venturing out from their home to hunt and trade with the world of outsiders beyond.

On a success, the target is not poisoned and becomes immune to this effect for the next hour. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Swampdwellers

Living within the variety of damp environments and boggy waters which they call home, Swampdwellers have begun to embrace the eerier stillness of the swamps and have even learned to integrate this factor into their hunting tactics.

With their elongate snouts and large teeth, the Swampdwellers have become natural ambush predators not only for the various creatures of the wild that may cross their paths, but also the many unsuspecting caravans and parties that so often pass through their lands.

## Minotaur

<!--
*“In the Minotaur's world it is far easier to kill and devour seven virgins year after year, their rattling bones rising at his feet like a sea of cracked ice, than to accept tenderness and return it.”*

— Steven Sherrill, The Minotaur Takes a Cigarette Break
-->

A bloodthirsty warrior charges a shield wall, horned head lowered as he bellows a contemptuous challenge. Proud raiders gamble aboard their ships, betting rich spoils in elaborate games and dares. A great beast stands tall within the temple of a mighty cult, worship and offerings heaped onto her broad shoulders.

### Head of a Demon
Born into the world by forbidden rites that melded powerful horned beasts with the intelligence of civilized species, the race of Minotaurs is proud and domineering, assured of their superiority over lesser, merely natural races.

A cult that performs such rituals raises its bestial champion as a caged totem, a monstrous weapon fed on the flesh of blasphemers. Yet Minotaurs are seldom content to be merely a tool. Those who escape inevitably forge their own paths, even seek out others of their kind. From such stories are born the founding myths of horned half-beast kingdoms.

Yet Minotaurs regard their natural drive as something to be mastered, a hunger that will consume them if they are weak. Only those who shackle their arrogance and ambition with a strict code can truly achieve greatness.

### Arrogance and Honor
Minotaurs are blessed with supreme self-confidence, and raised to be deeply competitive. They seldom accept anything but a temporary loss, and will often make excuses even then.

Minotaur etiquette focuses on postponing or redirecting disputes, and most Minotaurs love games, puzzles, and other trials. The imposition of rules is particularly appealing to Minotaurs, serving to restrain and channel their temper.

Some bull-nations allow this element to go unspoken, while others outright proclaim that might means right, with open contests and murderously subtle plots as a foundation of their society. Treachery is not necessarily unknown to Minotaurs: a strict personal code of honour need not comply with any wider view of morality. Still, cheating or renenging on debts is considered deeply suspicious, a display of poor self-control that speaks ill of the bull's other abilities.

### Bestial Urges
Minotaurs vary widely in appearance, incorporating features from a range of horned beasts into a humanoid form. Bovine creatures are by far the most common template, but hooves or feet, the number of fingers, and the presence of a muzzle all depend purely on the bloodline in question.

One common factor is a Minotaur's violent temperament. In addition to a strict adherence to honour, each Minotaur culture develops communal ways to bleed off this aggression. Berserk performances, passionate festivals, and even simple pit fights. Others resort to hermitage and ritual, regarding bloodthirst as something to be ruled, not bled off.

### Aloof, Not Alone
Minotaurs become adventurers for a variety of reasons, most of which boil down to having something to prove. Those who break the mold tend to be mercenaries or missionaries, rejecting the brutish code of their home for better or worse.

Firstborn Minotaurs raised in the shrines of horned gods have less diverse attitudes. Some are loyal to their home, sent forth as agents of prophecy or revenge. The rest fled from holy captivity, escaping their labyrinth homes in search of something greater.

\pagebreakNum

### Minotaur Names
Minotaurs usually name their offspring after one of the parents, or a great hero in their ancestry, whose code the young Minotaur must strive to honour. Clan names work similarly, inherited from whichever horned paragon first brought purpose to the moniker.

***Goring Rush.*** As a bonus action, you can take the Dash action to move toward a hostile creature you can see or hear, ending this movement closer to the enemy than you started. Whenever you use this trait to move at least 30 feet towards a target, you have advantage on the first attack on this turn you make against the target with your Horns.

You can use this trait in this way a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Seareavers

Having broken from the confines of their abyssal chains long ago, the Seareavers now live a life of pure freedom. Far from their once cavernous existence within the Labyrinth, the Seareavers travel the world by ship, meeting new faces and exploring new cultures with each passing day.

Having founded a home of their own within a chain of islands, the Seareavers have formed a warrior-like culture fromed upon strength and honor. Disputes are settled in combat and public contests, oaths are held inviolate above all, and betrayal is regarded as the darkest of crimes.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.

***Sure-Footed.*** Your massive size and wide stance makes you particularly hard to knock over. When a creature attempts to knock you prone or move you against your will, you have advantage on the ability check or saving throw made to resist it.

#### Labyrinthians

Having never broken free of the abyssal connection that first birthed them, the Labyrinthian Minotaur are still in service to the dark ambitions of the Prince of Beasts himself. Massive in frame and deadly in combat, Labyrintians follow orders with precise efficiency, holding onto few mortal desires.

Still, there are those that have been able to form a life of their own, a life not devoted to their demonic creator. Though possible, these Minotaur are often still burdened with beastial impulses and unforgiving dreams drawing them back to the darkness from which they first entered with world.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.

***Superior Darkvision.*** Demonic blessings grant you superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 90 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

***Abyssal Fortitude.*** Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

***Labyrinthian Recall.*** You always know which direction is north, and you have advantage on any Wisdom (Survival) check you make to navigate or track.

## Pachydan

The humanoid elephants called Pachydan are often oases of calm in the busy streets of Ravnica. They hum or chant in sonorous tones and move slowly or sit in perfect stillness.

If provoked to action, Pachydan are true terrors—bellowing with rage, trumpeting and flapping their ears. Their serene wisdom, fierce loyalty, and unwavering conviction are tremendous assets to their guilds.

### Lumbering Giants

Pachydan tower above most other humanoids, standing over 7 feet tall. They have the heads—trunks, tusks, ears, and faces—of elephants, and hulking bipedal bodies covered by thick, leathery skin. Each of their hands has four thick digits, and their feet are the flat-bottomed, oval-shaped feet of elephants.

Like that of an elephant, a Pachydan's trunk is a useful appendage. In addition to providing a keen sense of smell, the trunk can be used to lift and carry even heavy objects as well as carry both food and liquid to the mouth.

### Gifted Stoneworkers

Pachydan are tireless, patient artisans with an unrivaled intuition about their craft. Although they make nurturing spiritual leaders, their gift for stonework is so ingrained that they are often at a loss when they try to impart that knowledge to others. In some societies, it falls to Pachydan to work as masons and architects.

<br>

### Relentlessly Loyal

Pachydan believe that the members of a group have a responsibility to look out for each other. Once they have joined a guild or bonded with other individuals in any capacity, Pachydan devote themselves to maintaining that bond.

They coordinate their efforts and are often willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the group. They expect reciprocal loyalty and commitment from the other members of their communities and can be severe in their disappointment when their trust is betrayed.

### Pachydan Names

A Pachydan's name includes subtle tones, produced in a Pachydan's resonant nasal chambers, that indicate status, family connection, and community role.

Since most non-Pachydan can't distinguish these underlying tones, let alone produce them, Pachydan often translate them into titles, such as Hierarch, Revered, Grandmother, Healer, or Saint, when interacting with other races.

Your Pachydan character has the following racial traits.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.

***Size.*** Pachydan stand between 7 and 8 feet tall. Their massive bodies weigh between 400 and 500 pounds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

***Tusks.*** You have tusks that you can use to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier piercing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Additionally, once per turn, if you move at least 10 feet before attempting to shove a creature no more than one size larger than you, you may use your tusks to give you advantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so.

***Trunk.*** You can grasp things with your trunk as well as breath through it freely. It has a reach of 5 feet, and it can lift a number of pounds equal to five times your Strength score. You can use it to do simple tasks such as lifting, dropping, holding, pushing, or pulling an object or creature, opening or closing a door or container, grappling someone, or making an unarmed strike. Your DM might allow other simple tasks to be added to that list of options.

Your trunk can't wield weapons or shields or do anything that requires manual precision, such as using tools or magic items or performing the somatic components of a spell.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Giant.

***Subrace.*** Three subraces of Pachydan are found in the world: The Loxodon, The Mamodon, and The Pyrodon.

### Loxodon

The most common of the Pachydan races, the Loxodon are people of profound intellect, with naturally long-lasting memories and a supernaturally accurate oral history going back generations.

It is this knowledge of their own past, as well as that of many others, that guide the Loxodon of this modern age as they strive to not repeat the mistakes of the past.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

\pagebreakNum

\columnbreak

***Loxodon Serenity.*** You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed or frightened conditions on yourself.

***Eidetic Mind.*** You have a naturally expansive memory and are a quick study. You can speak, read, and write two additional languages of your choice and have proficiency in two of the following skills: Arcana, History, Medicine, Nature, Religion, or Survival.

### Mamodon

Attuned to some of the harshest environments in the world, the tundras within which the Mamodon live are often considered inhospitable wastelands to those lucky enough to live south of their lands.

Perhaps the toughest, and most assuredly, the oldest of their kin, the Mamodon are built of hulking figures, shaggy fur, and sharpened, primal tusks that have helped their people survive far from the realms of man for as long as time.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.

***Arctic Coat.*** You have resistance to cold damage. You're also naturally adapted to cold climates, as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.

***Stampede.*** When you take the Dash action, you may make a contested Strength (Athletics) check against a number of creatures that stand in your way equal to your Proficiency Bonus. These creatures must be of your size or smaller to be affected by this trait. For each success, the opposing creature is knocked prone and has disadvantage on Attacks of Opportunity against you until the start of their next turn. This movement is stopped as soon as you reach a creature that succeeds their contested Strength (Athletics) check.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

### Pyrodon

By Pachydan standards, the Pyrodon are a smaller people that stand a foot shorter than their sister races, though this still leaves them standing well above the races of man that run rampant throughout the Material Realm.

The Pyrodon find their strengths not in their intellect nor their might, but from their patience and virtues. Living within isolated tribes within dense jungles or distant mountains, they have found an unmatched sense of peace and a love for this world that guides their every step.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Sure of Foot.*** Your walking speed is increased to 30 feet and nonmagical difficult terrain doesn’t cost you additional movement in heavily forested or jungled environments.

***Pyrodon's Grace.*** You know one cantrip from the druid spell list. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the sanctuary spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the calm emotions spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

## Tabaxi

Hailing from a strange and distant land, wandering Tabaxi are catlike humanoids driven by curiosity to collect interesting artifacts, gather tales and stories, and lay eyes on all the world's wonders. Ultimate travelers, the inquisitive Tabaxi rarely stay in one place for long. Their innate nature pushes them to leave no secrets uncovered, no treasures or legends lost.

### Wandering Outcasts
Most Tabaxi remain in their distant homeland, content to dwell in small, tight clans. These Tabaxi hunt for food, craft goods, and largely keep to themselves.

However, not all Tabaxi are satisfied with such a life. The Cat Lord, the divine figure responsible for the creation of the Tabaxi, gifts each of his children with one specific feline trait. Those Tabaxi gifted with curiosity are compelled to wander far and wide. They seek out stories, artifacts, and lore. Those who survive this period of wanderlust return home in their elder years to share news of the outside world. In this manner, the Tabaxi remain isolated but never ignorant of the world beyond their home.

### Barterers of Lore
Tabaxi treasure knowledge over material things. A chest filled with gold coins might be useful to buy food or a coil of rope, but it's not intrinsically interesting. In a Tabaxi's eyes, gathering wealth is like packing rations for a long trip. It's important to survive in the world, but not worth fussing over.

Instead, Tabaxi value knowledge and new experiences. Their ears perk up in a busy tavern, and they tease out stories with offers of food, drink, and coin. Tabaxi might walk away with empty purses, but they mull over the stories and rumors they collected like a miser counting coins.

Although material wealth holds little attraction for the Tabaxi, they have an insatiable desire to find and inspect ancient relics, magical items, and other rare objects. Aside from the power such items might confer, a Tabaxi takes great joy in unraveling the stories behind their creation and the history of their use.

### Fleeting Fancies
Wandering Tabaxi are mercurial creatures, trading one obsession or passion for the next as the whim strikes. A Tabaxi's desire burns bright, but once met it disappears to be replaced with a new obsession. Objects remain intriguing only as long as they still hold secrets.

A Tabaxi rogue could happily spend months plotting to steal a strange gem from a noble, only to trade it for passage on a ship or a week's lodging after stealing it. The Tabaxi might take extensive notes or memorize every facet of the gem before passing it on, but the gem holds no more allure once its secrets and nature have been laid bare.

### Tinkers and Minstrels
Curiosity drives most of the Tabaxi found outside their homeland, but not all of them become adventurers. Tabaxi who seek a safer path to satisfy their obsessions become wandering tinkers and minstrels.

\pagebreakNum

</br>

These Tabaxi work in small troupes, usually consisting of an elder, more experienced Tabaxi who guides up to four young ones learning their way in the world.

They travel in small, colorful wagons, moving from settlement to settlement. When they arrive, they set up a small stage in a public square where they sing, play instruments, tell stories, and offer exotic goods in trade for items that spark their interest.

Tabaxi reluctantly accept gold, but they much prefer interesting objects or pieces of lore as payment. These wanderers keep to civilized realms, preferring to bargain instead of pursuing more dangerous methods of sating their curiosity.

However, they aren't above a little discreet theft to get their claws on a particularly interesting item when an owner refuses to sell or trade it.

### Tabaxi Names
Each Tabaxi has a single name, determined by clan and based on a complex formula that involves astrology, prophecy, clan history, and other esoteric factors. Tabaxi names can apply to both males and females, and most use nicknames derived from or inspired by their full names.

Clan names are usually based on a geographical feature located in or near the clan's territory.

The following list of sample Tabaxi names includes nicknames in parenthesis.

Built for agility and grace, the Katari are a lean, playful folk that have found an endless fascination for the world of man. Rarely living in one place for more than a few days at a time, Katari tribes are known as traveling merchants that move from town to town in search of the best deal.

***Speed of the Wilds.*** When using your Feline Agility trait to move more than 30 feet toward a hostile creature, if you end your movement within 5 feet of your target to take the Attack action, you may make a special attack with your Claws. This attack can be made at advantage if the target is fleeing from you or one of your allies.

If the attack hits, it deals additional damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus and the target of the attack must make a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier), or be grappled by you. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Leorin

The Leorin are a proud folk born of honor and strength. Within their tribes, they are known to respect strength and prowess in battle above all else, using these traits to lead themselves towards what they view as a more honorable position before the gods.

***Primal Roar.*** As a bonus action, you can release a menacing roar. Creatures of your choice within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Strength modifier), or become frightened of you until the end of your next turn. When using this trait, you may choose to expend a use of your Feline Agility trait in order to increase its range to 20 feet. Creatures that cannot hear you are immune to this effect.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Sjori

Born of tribes hidden away within the highest of peaks, the Sjori are a curious folk that rarely interact with the world beyond their tribes; choosing instead to keep to the safety of their mountains. Despite this fact, their tribes are often quite advanced, spending much of their time building upon their written histories and scholarly pursuits

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

#### Therin

Hidden amongst the trees and foliage of dense forests and jungles, the Therin are a skeptical people that are few and far between. With much smaller tribes than the rest of their Tabaxi kin, they are known to be quite the isolationists, finding a sense of solace as lone hunters.

This kinship with the lonely road and love of the hunt, the Therin are known to be great mercenaries and bounty hunters; able to single-mindedly focus upon their contracts without distraction.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Jungle Cat.*** You have a climbing speed of 30 feet and when you take falling damage, you may use your reaction to reduce the fall damage rolled by a number of d6 equal to twice your proficiency bonus.

## Tortle
What many tortles consider a simple life, others might call a life of adventure. Tortles are born near sandy coastlines, but as soon as they’re able to walk on two legs, they become nomad survivalists eager to explore the wilderness, experience its many wonders, put their skills to the test, and make new acquaintances.

### Life of a Tortle
A tortle hatches from a thick-shelled egg and spends the first few weeks of its life crawling on all fours. Its parents, old and near death, spend what little time they have left telling stories to their offspring. Within a year, the young tortle becomes an orphan, though not before it learns to speak and to survive on its own.

A young tortle and its siblings inherit whatever tools, weapons, and gifts their parents left behind. Each young tortle is expected to fend for itself. It leaves the place of its birth and finds its own corner of the wilderness in which to hunt, catch fish, and get by.

It gathers up its possessions and heads into the wilderness, returning months or years later with stories of its exploits and new skills. When a tortle nears the end of its natural lifespan, it seeks out a mate and procreates. Tortles lay their eggs (numberingas few as one or as many as a dozen) in a fortified compound enclosed by stone walls that are easily defensible.

<br>

If no such compound exists, they build one. The parents spend the remainder of their lives guarding the compound, defending their offspring, and sharing a lifetime of knowledge before they die. When the children are old enough to leave the compound, they pick up whatever weapons and tools their parents left behind and set out on their own.

### Ancient Beliefs
Tortles don’t have their own pantheon of gods, but they often worship the gods of other races. It’s not unusual for a tortle to hear stories or legends related to a god and choose to worship that deity. They gravitate toward Celestian, Fharlanghn, Pelor, Pholtus, and St. Cuthbert. Among the nonhuman deities, Moradin and Yondalla relate to tortles most of all.

Tortles believe that night and day watch over them and other creatures. The moon is the eye of night that watches over them in darkness, and the sun is the equally vigilant eye of day. Tortles feel most at peace when one or both of these “eyes” are looking down on them. They become more nervous and uneasy when neither orb is visible in the sky. Tortles tend to be most uncomfortable underground, where neither the sun nor the moon is visible to them.

Blessed are the days when both the sun and moon are visible in the sky at the same time. Tortles often choose such days to leave their homes and begin a wilderness expedition, or perform some other task they know to be dangerous.

\pagebreakNum

### Adventurers at Heart
Tortles have a saying: “We wear our homes on our backs.”

A tortle settlement is primarily used as a kind of moot, where tortles can socialize, share information, and trade with strangers in the safety of greater numbers.

Most tortles like to see how other creatures live and discover new customs and new ways of doing things. The urge to procreate doesn’t kick in until the end of a tortle’s life, and a tortle can spend decades away from its native land without feeling homesick.

Tortles embrace a simple view of the world. It is a place of wonder, and tortles see beauty in the ordinary. They live for the chance to hear a soft wind blowing through palm trees, to watch a frog croaking on a lily pad, or to stand in a crowded Human marketplace.

Although they spend a considerable portion of their lives in isolation, tortles are social creatures that like to form meaningful friendships and have no biases toward people of other races.

### Tortle Names
Tortles prefer simple, non-gender-specific names that are usually no more than two syllables. If a tortle doesn’t like its name for whatever reason, it changes it. A tortle might change its name a dozen times in its life.

**Male and Female Names:** Baka, Damu, Gar, Gura, Ini, Jappa, Kinlek, Krull, Lim, Lop, Nortle, Nulka, Olo, Ploqwat, Queg, Quott, Sunny, Tibor, Ubo, Uhok, Wabu, Xelbuk, Yog

### Tortle Traits
Your tortle character gains traits that enable it to cope with the perils of a savage world.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Tortles have no natural end to their lifespans. Instead, they live for as long as they deem necessary before finally letting themselves pass on from this realm.

***Size.*** Tortle adults tend to stand 5 to 6 feet tall and average 450 pounds. Their shells account for roughly one-third of their weight. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 25 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Natural Armor.*** Your shell provides you a base AC of 17 (your Dexterity modifier doesn't affect this number). You can't wear light, medium, or heavy armor, but if you are using a shield, you can apply the shield's bonus as normal.

***Shell Defense.*** You can withdraw into your shell as an action. Until you emerge, you gain a +5 bonus to your AC, and you have advantage on Strength and Constitution saving throws. While in your shell, you are prone, your speed is 0 and can't increase, you have disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws, you can't take reactions, and the only action you can take is a bonus action to emerge from your shell.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Terran.

***Subrace.*** Four subraces of Tortles are found in the world: Hardshells, Seafarers, Snapjaws, and Draconbloods. These subraces usually follow very different ways of life, but are known to collaborate in many ways.

#### Hardshells

Stubbornly tough to their core, the Hardshells are an ancient people that have lived as long as the world itself. For the Hardshells, their return to the earth is a far-off end to their eternal journey, allowing their people to live hundreds and hundreds of years without issue.

This sense of agelessness has caused Hardshells to be a source of endless knowledge and wisdom within Tortle tribes, often allowing them to take up roles of spiritual guidance.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 2.

***Long-Lived.*** Those of your kind live far longer than most, giving you the vast wisdom of experience and proficiency in two of the following skills: History, Insight, Medicine, Nature, Perception, Religion, or Survival.

***Desert Caravan.*** You have adapted to hot environments as described in chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide and you count as one size larger when determining your carrying weight and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

***Sturdy Build.*** Your walking speed is increased to 30 feet and nonmagical difficult terrain doesn’t cost you additional movement in mountainous or rocky terrain. Additionally, the base AC of your Natural Armor trait is increased to 18.

\pagebreakNum

#### Seafarers

Born of the ocean, Seafarers live a life as fast and harsh as the waters they call home. Their curiosity leads them towards a life of adventure and wide eyed wonder.

Seafarers have an innate love of peoples and cultures of all kinds, often spending years, or even decades, at a time away from home, simply traveling from place to place to learn and experience as much of this world as they can.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

***Oceanic Traveler.*** You have proficiency in the Athletics skill, Navigator's Tools, and Water Vehicles.

***Sworn to the Seas.*** You have a swimming speed of 35 feet, you can breathe air and water, and you have resistance to cold damage.

***Sea Dog.*** You’ve learned the difficulties of life at sea. You have advantage on Constitution saving throws made to resist exhaustion and you have advantage on all ability checks and saving throws made to resist being grappled.

#### Snapjaws

Born of the murky waters of swamps and bogs, Snapjaws are an especially hearty folk. Often seen as grouchy and rowdy in comparison to the more tranquil Tortle races, they are, in truth, a people of family; placing incredible purpose and value in those they consider family, whether by blood or choice.

Most often living in small villages upon the boggy waters of a swamp, Snapjaws have learned to be masters of their favored terrain by merely waiting amongst the muck of the water for the right opportunity to strike against the monstrous creatures of the swamp.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.

***Swamp Dweller.*** You have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed and you can hold your breath for a number of hours at a time equal to your Proficiency Bonus.

***Ambush Predator.*** You can emerge from your shell as a part of a held action instead of a bonus action. Additionally, while withdrawn into your shell, you have advantage on Initiative rolls.

***Snapjaw Bite.*** Your jagged maw is a natural weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.  Additionally, once per turn, when attempting to grapple a creature, you may use your Bite to do so, giving you advantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so.

#### Draconbloods

Spawned of a lineage blessed by the ancient Dragon Turtles of old, Draconbloods are serene and graceful for as long as the need to be, though the underlying wrath of the dragon always lies just beyond the surface.

Distanced from the rest of their kin, the Draconbloods are a difficult people to find. Absconded from the likes of the civilized world, they prefer a life away from the distractions of the world of man, choosing instead to home within places of intense mystical potential wherein they may better connect to the leylines of this world.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.

***Ocean Swimmer.*** You have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed and can breathe both air and water.

***Draconic Ancestry.*** You have an ancestral connection to the gargantuan dragon turtles of old, giving you proficiency in the Intimidation skill and resistance to fire damage.

***Steam Breath.*** When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of your attacks with an exhalation of scalding steam in a 15-foot cone. Each creature in that area must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your Constitution modifier + your Proficiency Bonus), taking 1d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. Being underwater doesn't grant resistance against this damage, which increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

You can use your Breath Weapon a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

## Ursurai
<!--
ISSO LOWERED HIS SNOUT TO THE BASE OF THE TREE,
</br>
sniffing the wet bark. His nostrils flared as he inhaled deeply. Satisfied, he stood, a grin appearing as he looked in the direction of his prey. Isso began to run, initially on his hind legs but switching to all fours as he sped up. His grin turned into a snarl as he charged towards the target.

His momentum was broken as he ran directly into a river, drenching him before he could stop. Snarling, Isso stood, looking around to reclaim the scent he was following. Unable to find it, he slapped the flowing water with large paws, sending a booming sound echoing through the trees. Isso returned to the shore and began looking around for new sign of his prey

Tales of Isso Brownbark
-->

Nestled at the base of a large mountain, the Ursurai lies at the edge of an ever-present maelstrom, the Gelid Vortex, which hovers just beyond the protective rim of mountains. Battling through the warm jungles, the Ursurai are a hardy race with centuries of tradition to call back upon.

### Animalistic Nature

Though many see the Ursurai as intelligent bears, there are many differences between the Ursurai and their savage cousins. A fully grown Ursurai is much smaller than a bear and is almost as nimble on his hind legs as he is on all four.

Outsiders may find it hard to believe, but the rough Ursurai have much more restrain and self-control than the beasts they are often mistaken for, though some suspect this is a result of their lack of need to hibernate.

### Strong and Though
Years of living in the rough lands of Aerathiat have made the Ursurai tough. The harsh storms at the base of the mountain often lead to lack of food, requiring many of the Ursurai to survive off of the tough plant life native to Aerathiat.

Though many of the other races have trouble with larger temperature differences, but the Ursurai have fur coat which can adapt to the temperature.

### Homeland Traditions
Many Ursurai choose to wander the world in their formative years, curious about the state of the rest of the world. However, most of which who go out often return to their home, either because they miss their home of their curiosity has been sated.

### History of War
In the past, long ago, the Ursurai were a warrior race, savage, fierce, and disciplined. However, once peace arrived at Freljord, the Ursurai settled down and much of their war-like temperament was lost.

This changed once Volibear, the chief shaman, had visions of a brutal conflict. Journeying to the top of the mountain, he was touched by an unnatural bolt of lightning.

### Ursurai Names
Ursurai name their young based on what they want to achieve as adults. An agressive war-like Ursurai may give his son a rough, cacophonous name while another might name her son after the hero of an Ursurai folk tale.

**Male Ursurai Names:** Arrus, Anrun, Callun, Deruhs,

Leneth, Marukus, Olland, Rutushush, Veeros, Wlaren

|<h2><h6>***Exotic Races***</h6></h2>|<center><h2><h6>***Description***</h2></h6></center>|
|:----------:|:----|
|*Aasimar*|Descendants from Humans with a touch of the power of Mount Celestia, the divine realm of many lawful good deities. Aasimar are born to serve as champions of the gods, their births hailed as blessed events. They are a people of otherworldly visages, with luminous features that reveal their celestial heritage. |
|*Arboreans*|A people of sentient trees that are rarely encountered on the Material Plane, Arboreans appear humanoid in figure, but have hard, wooden skin, like bark, usually coated in a layer of leaves, moss, vines, flowers, berries, or even mushrooms and their inherent magical connection to the natural world allows them to communicate with and magically manipulate plants to a certain degree.|
|*Changelings*|Changelings are natural shapechangers, who are sometimes the offspring of individuals that have in some way been touched by the far realms. They are creatures that struggle to fit into society because of their rarity and natural abilities, and seldom find others of their kind and tend not to have a culture of their own.|
|*Dragonborn*|Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the Dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, Dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids.|
|*Eladrin*|Eladrin are Elves of the Feywild, a realm of perilous beauty and boundless magic. Using that magic, Eladrin can step from one place to another in the blink of an eye, and each Eladrin resonates with emotions captured in the Feywild in the form of seasons—affinities that affect the Eladrin's mood and appearance.|
|*Fairies*|The Feywild is home to many fantastic peoples, including fairies. Fairies are a wee folk, but not nearly as much so as their pixie and sprite friends. Infused with the magic of the Feywild, most fairies look like Small Elves with insectile wings, but each fairy has a special physical characteristic that sets the fairy apart.|
|*Firbolgs*|As caretakers of the land, Firbolgs prefer to remain out of sight and out of mind. They don't try to dominate nature, but rather seek to ensure that it prospers and survives according to its own laws. Firbolgs use their magic to keep their presence in a forest secret.|
|*Genasi*|Genasi inherit something from both sides of their dual nature. They resemble Humans but have unusual skin color (red, green, blue, or gray), and there is something odd about them. The elemental blood flowing through their veins manifests differently in each Genasi, often as magical power.|
|*Gith*|Inspired by the great leader for whom the race is named, the Gith rose up to overthrow the mind flayers that held them in servitude. But after they won their freedom, two factions among the Gith disagreed on what kind of civilization they would forge.|
|*Satyrs*|A race with fey origin, these goatmen and women try to experience life to the fullest in every waking moment. The ease with which they can manipulate others, make other creatures feel uneasy in their presence.|
|*Shadar-Kai*|Shadar-kai were once Humans, but the weight of existence in the Shadowfell has shaped them into something else. They promised to serve as the Raven Queen's mortal agents, and in exchange, she gave them incredibly long life and freedom from frailty. Eventually, they were so different from Humans that they became a distinct species.|
|*Tieflings*|Tieflings are derived from Human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their infernal heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance. To be greeted with stares and whispers, to suffer violence and insult on the street, to see mistrust and fear in every eye: this is the lot of the Tiefling.|
|*Triton*|Tritons guard the ocean depths, building small settlements beside deep trenches, portals to the elemental planes, and other dangerous spots far from the eyes of land-bound folk. Long-established guardians of the deep ocean floor, in recent years the noble Tritons have become increasingly active in the world above. |
|*Warforged*|Warforged appear as massive humanoids molded from a composite of materials — obsidian, iron, stone, darkwood, silver, and organic — though they move with a surprising grace and flexibility. Flexible plates connected by fibrous bundles make up the body of a Guardian, topped by a mostly featureless head.|

## Aasimar
<!--
I SAW HER, WREATHED IN WINGS OF PURE LIGHT,
</br>
*her eyes blazing with the fury of the gods. The bone devils stopped in their tracks, shielding their faces. Her blade, now a brand of light, swept once, twice, three times. The devils' heads hit the ground, one after another. And thus we learned that an aasimar traveled in our ragtag band.*

<p style="text-align: right;">— Geldon Parl, Of the Tyranny of Dragons</p>

</br>
-->

Aasimar bear within their souls the light of the heavens. They are descended from Humans with a touch of the power of Mount Celestia, the divine realm of many lawful good deities.

Aasimar are born to serve as champions of the gods, their births hailed as blessed events. They are a people of otherworldly visages, with luminous features that reveal their celestial heritage.

### Celestial Champions
Aasimar are placed in the world to serve as guardians of law and good. Their patrons expect them to strike at evil, lead by example, and further the cause of justice.

From an early age, an aasimar receives visions and guidance from celestial entities via dreams. These dreams help shape an aasimar, granting a sense of destiny and a desire for righteousness.

Each aasimar can count a specific celestial agent of the gods as a guide. This entity is typically a deva, an angel who acts as a messenger to the mortal world.

### Hidden Wanderers
While aasimar are strident foes of evil, they typically prefer to keep a low profile. An aasimar inevitably draws the attention of evil cultists, fiends, and other enemies of good, all of whom would be eager to strike down a celestial champion if they had the chance.

When traveling, aasimar prefer hoods, closed helms, and other gear that allows them to conceal their identities. They nevertheless have no compunction about striking openly at evil. The secrecy they desire is never worth endangering the innocent.

### Conflicted Souls
Despite its celestial origin, an aasimar is mortal and possesses free will. Most aasimar follow their ordained path, but some grow to see their abilities as a curse.

These disaffected aasimar are typically content to turn away from the world, but a few become agents of evil. In their minds, their exposure to celestial powers amounted to little more than brainwashing.

Evil aasimar make deadly foes. The radiant power they once commanded becomes corrupted into a horrid, draining magic. And their angelic guides abandon them.

Even aasimar wholly dedicated to good sometimes feel torn between two worlds. The angels that guide them see the world from a distant perch.

An aasimar who wishes to stop and help a town recover from a drought might be told by an angelic guide to push forward on a greater quest. To a distant angel, saving a few commoners might pale in comparison to defeating a cult of Orcus. An aasimar's guide is wise but not infallible.

### Aasimar Guides
An aasimar, except for one who has turned to evil, has a link to an angelic being. That being- usually a deva provides guidance to the aasimar, though this connection functions only in dreams.

As such, the guidance is not a direct command or a simple spoken word. Instead, the aasimar receives visions, prophecies, and feelings.

The angelic being is far from omniscient. Its guidance is based on its understanding of the tenets of law and good, and it might have insight into combating especially powerful evils that it knows about.

##### Deathwalker

Masters of the necromantic, Deathwalkers, as the name might suggest, walk the thin veil between life and death as arbiters of the damned and wardens of the dead.

Whether it is love, hatred, or a mere curiosity, Deathwalkers hold an intimate connection to undeath. Some actively practice it, others scourge it, but all must understand it. The cost of such a cursed understanding marks one as not of this world even more than the celestial marking these Aasimar already bare.

***Touch of the Grave.*** You know the chill touch cantrip. You can use Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice) as your spellcasting ability when casting this spell.

##### Netherborn

Accustomed to a life of darkness, the Netherborn have found a place amongst the many peoples of the Underdark as a searing light within the endless abyss that is their home, though this light is not always welcomed with open arms.

Embraced by some and cursed by others, a Netherborn's fiery light is seen as a prophetic sign to the peoples of the Underdark. Still, in a region that is so inherently bound to dark, ancient creatures of depths, it is often a wonder as to where exactly this so-called sign stems from.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.

***Firestarter.*** You know the fire bolt cantrip. You can use Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma (your choice) as your spellcasting ability when casting this spell.

\pagebreakNum

#### Fallen Aasimar

Fallen Aasimar are imbued with a divine energy that blazes intensely within them- so much so that even when the source of their divine spark has pulled its influence from their lives, these primal energies have manifested still. Whether by choice or by force, the Fallen have been bereft of their once divine calling and left to forge a path of their own.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 2.

***Fallen Resistance.*** You have resistance to your choice of radiant or necrotic damage. Additionally, when dealing damage with your Celestial Revelation trait, you may choose to deal the damage type chosen upon selecting this race.

***Radiant Consumption.*** Starting at 3rd level, when using your Celestial Revelation trait, you may choose to tap into what remains of your divine spark, causing pure divinity to radiate out from your very soul. For the duration, you shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet, and, at the end of each of your turns, any creatures within 10 feet of you takes damage of a type associated with your Celestial Ancestry equal to your Proficiency Bonus.

When used in this way, you must make a Constitution Saving Throw (DC 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Wisdom modifier) when your Celestial Revelation comes to an end. On a failure, you gain one level of exhaustion.

##### Greeenreaver

No matter the cost nor the means, these Aasimar have pushed their bodies and minds to the very depths of their capabilities and then pushed that much further.

##### Causticheart

Cast down from their celestial heritage and left with no true purpose, Caustichearts have corroded from the inside out, leaving them to be a hollow shell of their former selves.

***Fallen Wanderer.*** You have proficiency in the Perception skill and your walking speed is increased to 35 feet.

Having lost their tether to the divine, Gravewarden Aasimar have been consumed by the cold despair of a purposeless life, and yet, despite their fall from grace, their faith remains.

##### Asheguard

For most Asheguard Aasimar, with the stripping of their divine status came the cruel "lessons" that a true celestial is capable of imparting, leaving many of their ilk to be scarred and mangled both in body and mind.

This brutal act of zealotry has left these Aasimar to be nearly void of emotion, for the only thing their souls hold room for is a roiling hatred for the divine. Defined by this unending thirst for vengeance against those that have wronged them, there are few things among the world of man that may halt the wrath of these once divine warriors.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 1.

***Fallen Hunter.*** You have proficiency in the Stealth skill and you can attempt to hide even when you are only lightly obscured by foliage, heavy rain, falling snow, mist, and other natural phenomena.

## Arboreans

Arboreans are a people of sentient trees that are rarely encountered on the Material Plane. They appear humanoid in figure, but have hard, wooden skin, like bark, usually coated in a layer of leaves, moss, vines, flowers, berries, or even mushrooms and their inherent magical connection to the natural world allows them to communicate with and magically manipulate plants to a certain degree.

The exact origin of the Arboreans is unknown, however, an old legend says that, while often found within the whimsical realms of the Fey, their people actually entirely predate the founding of the Fey realm, making them far older, more primordial beings.

### Elder Gardeners
Deep in the forests of the world dwell a forgotten people, the Arboreans. They are the ancient caretakers of the forest who awoke at the dawn of the world. To many, they are creatures of myth and folktale, reclusive tree-like people with skin like bark and hair that resembles tree-tops and verdant gardens.

Though these gardeners are few in number, they are very much real, though they prefer to be forgotten. Most will happily spend their exceptionally long lives tending to the swaths of wilderness under their care, learning the names of every root, flower, and tree under their protection.

### Shepherds of the Forest
Arboreans care deeply for the plants under their care, and often watch them grow from seedling to fully mature plants. They prefer to spend their lives in quiet harmony with nature, only occasionally interacting with other mortals.

They carefully maintain the natural order of the ecosystems they dwell in, culling creatures that grow to numerous, nurturing those on the brink of extinction, and all the relationships in between.

Though rarely roused to action, Arboreans who strike out into the world often do so to protect the forests under their protection. Though slow to anger, their fury knows no bounds when evil or blight threatens the groves that they have raised from seedlings.

Arboreans who leave the forest usually find it difficult to fit in amongst civilized settlements, and usually struggle to understand the norms and customs of normal folk. Arboreans who become adventurers most often train to defend the wild as a ranger or join a local Circle of druids.

### Arborean Names
Due to their long lifespans and relaxed disposition, Arborean names are often detailed stories that can take days to explain. Often, the Arboreans that interact with mortals will adopt the name of their favorite plant, tree, or flower.

\pagebreakNum

### Arborean Traits
No matter their home, environment, or forest of origin, all Arboreans have the following traits in common:

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Arborens enter adulthood just moments after birth from their trees and can live to be over 500 years.

***Size.*** Growing with the might of the forest, the Arborean often stand well over 6 feet tall and with their dense, arboreal make, can weigh anywhere between 150 and 350 pounds. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Powerful Build.*** You count as one size larger when determining your carrying weight and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

***Aversion To Fire.*** Your natural, plant-like form holds many advantages, though it does come with its vulnerabilities. You have disadvantage on saving throws against all effects that would deal fire damage and attacks that would deal fire damage have advantage against you.

***Photosynthetic.*** Due to your natural form, you are considered both Plant and Humanoid. You don't need to eat or drink so long as you are exposed to sunlight for 1 hour each day. To gain the benefits of a long rest, you must spend at least 6 hours in an inactive, motionless state, though you remain aware of your surroundings.

While in this state, you may choose for your natural form to appear indistinguishable from a small tree unless closely inspected and, if you have any severed limbs they fully regrow by the end of your long rest. If you do not have access to sunlight, you can still sleep and eat normally. When you do so, you consume the same amount of food and sleep for the same length as a normal human.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

***Subrace.*** The first of the Arboreans were planted eons ago, forming the following subraces: The Elderwoods, Nightshades, & Ironwoods.

### Elderwood

Embodying the forest in both body and mind, Elderwood Arboreans are born of a primeval awareness of the woods to which they were born. Despite their immense strength and towering builds, they can slink away and glide through the woods they call home with the best of them.

They are fiercely protective of the wilds and will retaliate with a righteous fury against those who would wish harm upon the natural world. Still, they are known to be incredibly hospitable to those willing to show their woods obeisance.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.

***Natural Recall.*** You always know which direction is north, and you have advantage on any Wisdom (Survival) check you make to navigate or track.

***Arboreal Explorer.*** You have proficiency in the Athletics skill and a climbing speed of 30 feet. Additionally, whenever you make a long jump or a high jump, you can increase the number of feet you cover by a number equal to twice your Proficiency Bonus, even when making a standing jump. This extra distance costs movement as usual.

***Call of the Wilds.*** You know the thornwhip cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the entangle spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the plant growth spell and can cast it once with this trait.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

\pagebreakNum

### Nightshade

Slender and lithe where others of their kind may be hearty and strong, Nightshade Arboreans are an elusive peoples known to hide within the heart of wild jungles and the forgotten groves of long lost woodlands.

The flowers blooming off their very backs are known to be born of a deathly dose of a potent poison, giving them a unique affinity for the poisons of the natural world that is unparalleled by the likes of man.

### Ironwood

Above all else, Ironwood Arboreans pride themselves of their strange affinity for the arcane— an oddity amongst the more naturally inclined magics of their sister races.

Although still made of wood, their hearty forms are known to mimic many of the qualities of metal, including its ability to conduct both electricity and magic. This unique feature of their arboreal design has allowed them to make incredible arcane advancements within their reclusive societies.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Iron Toughness.*** Your hit point maximum increases by 1, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level.

***Conductive Nature.*** You are resistant to lightning damage and whenever you take lightning damage, you may use your reaction to consume a portion of that energy, channeling it into your next strike. The first time before the end of your next turn that you hit with a weapon attack or spell attack that deals lightning damage, you may choose to deal additional lightning damage equal to your Proficiency Bonus.

You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

***Heart of Iron.*** You know the shocking grasp cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the detect magic spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the warding bond spell and can cast it once with this trait.

Once before the end of your next long rest, when you roll that number on a d20, you may choose to treat the roll as a natural 20.

## Changeling
Due to their scarcity, most people don't even consider the presence of changelings in their society. Their ties to the far realms give them the ability to take on appearances of others, which is why they are generally greeted with suspicion and distrust. Well, that is, if they are seen in their true form.

### Alien Physiology
Changelings true forms share several physical characteristics regardless of their bloodline. Usually, they tend to have a slender build with height a little shorter than that of an average human. Their pale, smooth, featureless skin is usually colored in some shade of gray, rarely showing a hint of blue, red, or another color. Their eyes are more rounded and pure white without pupils, and typically surrounded by skin a slightly darker shade, while their nose and ears are small, thin, and understated. Their hair tends to be white or silver, often with a hue of another color like pink or gold.

Rarely, though it happens, a changeling inherit a characteristic from their parents, such a singular pointed ear of an Elf, the stout figure of a Dwarf, or the tusks of an Orc. Of course, none of this applies once they turn into someone else. They have the supernatural ability to take the form of anyone they have seen or anyone they can imagine.

### Quick to Change, Slow to Decide
Many would consider an ability to change their looks at any time a gift, but to changelings it can at times feel like a curse. Due to fears of prejudice, most spend little to no time in their true form. Some try to have an ordinary life, changing their form rarely. Others take full advantage of their powers, becoming infiltrators, thieves, blackmailers and spies. Yet, some changelings live in their true form, to show others that their kind could be trusted.

Due to their chaotic nature, they change their moods as often as they change their appearance. It's not unusual for changelings to be indecisive and work on more than one task at a time. Their innate ability of changing gives them an uncanny ability to deceive others. Befriending a changeling could either be a blessing, or a disaster.

### Masks and Personas
The ability to alter ones physical appearance with a thought can be used to deceive others, but it can be a natural form of expression for the changeling. Some changeling shifts shapes the way others might change clothes. A casual shape — one created in the spur of the moment, with no depth or history — is called a mask. A mask can be used to express a mood or to serve a specific purpose and then never used again.

However, many changelings develop identities that have more depth. They build an identity over time, crafting a persona with a history and beliefs. This focused identity helps a changeling pinpoint a particular skill or emotion. A changeling adventurer might have personas for many situations, including negotiation, investigation, and combat. Personas can be shared by multiple changelings; there might be two healers in a community, but whoever is on duty will adopt the persona of Tek, the kindly old medic. Personas can even be passed down through a family, allowing a younger changeling to take advantage of contacts established by previous users of the persona.

### Changeling Names
There are two kinds of changeling names, depending on the culture they're born into. Those born to non-changeling parents, and aren't abandoned, tend to have a name of befitting their parent's culture.

Changelings have a fluid relationship with gender, seeing it as one characteristic to change among many others. Because of this, if it is up to them, they tend to take a simple and monosyllabic name, to avoid confusion while taking different forms. A changeling might use a different name for each form and adopt new names as easily as they develop new faces.

##### Quirks
| d6 | Quirk |
|:---:|:-|
| 1 | I like to judge people by their outside, figuring out what pieces of each of them would fit together well. |
| 2 | I have worn so many faces that I have problem telling who I really am. |
| 3 | One of my biggest problems is my indecision. I think... |
| 4 | My looks reflect my mood, and my body is a means of self-expression for me. |
| 5 | I steal qualities and quirks of others to piece together my own identity. |
| 6 | When I have trouble deciding, I like to roll a dice to make up my mind. |

<!--A casual shape — one created in the spur of the moment, with no depth or history — is called a mask. A mask can be used to express a mood or to serve a specific purpose and then never used again.

In creating a changeling adventurer, consider the character’s relationships with people around them. Does the character conceal their true changeling nature? Do they embrace it? Do they have connections to another changeling or are they alone and in search of companions?-->

\pagebreakNum

### Changeling Traits
Your changeling character has the following traits.

***Ability Score Increases.*** Your Charisma score increases by 2 and one other ability score of your choice increases by 1.

***Age.*** Changelings mature slightly faster than Humans, though they seem to have no natural end to their lifespans— seemingly allowing them to live any number of lives until the day that fate may finally catch up to them.

***Size.*** A Changeling looks how they wish. You size is Small or Medium, whatever matches that of your Preferred Form.

\columnbreak

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** Thanks to your fey blood, you have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Fey Ancestry.*** You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself.

***Changeling Instincts.*** Thanks to your connection to the fey realm, you have proficiency with two of the following skills of your choice: Deception, Insight, Intimidation, Performance, or Persuasion.

***Shapechanger.*** As an action, you change your appearance and your voice. You determine the specifics of the changes, including your coloration, hair length, and sex. You can also adjust your height between Medium and Small. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change.

You can't duplicate the appearance of an individual you've never seen, and you must adopt a form that has your same basic arrangement of limbs. Your clothing and equipment aren't changed by this trait. You stay in this form until you use an action to shift into a new form or until you die.

***Preferred Form.*** Changelings spend a limited amount of time in their True Form, choosing instead to adopt a Preferred Form to live out their daily lives. You select this Preferred Form and may shift into it as a reaction at anytime.

Additionally, when first choosing this form, you may select one racial trait from your Preferred Form’s chosen race to gain whenever you shift into it. This trait must not have any level requisites nor any references to features that you would otherwise not have (Such as the Minotaur's Goring Rush trait) and, if it would give you any proficiencies or bonuses to your ability scores, you do not gain them.

***True Form.*** The true form of a Changeling is a truly horrid thing to witness and, by all accounts, is the reason their people are hunted within the world of man. Should you choose to revert to your true form, an action that should only be taken after great thought, you gain the following traits while within that form:

- ***Powerful Build.*** You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
- ***Unsettling Visage.*** When a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
- ***Sunlight Sensitivity.*** The truth of your alien form has left you vulnerable when traveling the surface world. You have a -2 to all attack rolls, Save DCs, Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, and your Passive Perception score when you, the target of your attacks or spells, or whatever you are trying to perceive are in direct sunlight. 
 Additionally, you can only spend a limited number of hours in direct sunlight, equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 30 minutes), before having to take a short rest within a shaded area to recover. For every additional hour you spend in direct sunlight, you must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 10 + Number of hours in the sun) or take a level of exhaustion.

***Languages***. You can speak, read, and write Common, Sylvan, and two additional languages of your choice.

## Dragonborn
Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the Dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with fearful incomprehension. Shaped by draconic gods or the dragons themselves, Dragonborn originally hatched from dragon eggs as a unique race, combining the best attributes of dragons and humanoids.

A Dragonborn’s color imparts many traits upon them, including varying types of breath weapon, as well as scales that closely match those of their dragon ancestor.

Some Dragonborn are faithful servants to true dragons, others form the ranks of soldiers in great wars, and still others find themselves adrift, with no clear calling in life.

### Proud Dragon Kin
Dragonborn look very much like dragons standing erect in humanoid form, though they lack wings. The first Dragonborn had scales of vibrant hues matching the colors of their dragon kin, but generations of interbreeding have created a more uniform appearance, though usually there are one primary color to their scales.

Their small, fine scales are usually brass or bronze in color, sometimes ranging to scarlet, rust, gold, or copper-green. They are tall and strongly built, often standing close to 6½ feet tall and weighing 300 pounds or more. Their hands and feet are strong, talonlike claws with three fingers and a thumb on each hand.

The blood of a particular type of dragon runs very strong through some Dragonborn clans. These Dragonborn often boast scales that more closely match those of their dragon ancestor—bright red, green, blue, or white, lustrous black, or gleaming metallic gold, silver, brass, copper, or bronze.

### Self-Sufficient Clans
To any Dragonborn, the clan is more important than life itself. Dragonborn owe their devotion and respect to their clan above all else, even the gods.

Each Dragonborn’s conduct reflects on the honor of his or her clan, and bringing dishonor to the clan can result in expulsion and exile. Each Dragonborn knows his or her station and duties within the clan, and honor demands maintaining the bounds of that position.

A continual drive for self-improvement reflects the self-sufficiency of the race as a whole. Dragonborn value skill and excellence in all endeavors. They hate to fail, and they push themselves to extreme efforts before they give up on something. A Dragonborn holds mastery of a particular skill as a lifetime goal. Members of other races who share the same commitment find it easy to earn the respect of a Dragonborn.

Though all Dragonborn strive to be self-sufficient, they recognize that help is sometimes needed in difficult situations. But the best source for such help is the clan, and when a clan needs help, it turns to another Dragonborn clan before seeking aid from other races—or even from the gods.

### Dragonborn Names
Dragonborn have personal names given at birth, but they put their clan names first as a mark of honor. A childhood name is often used as a descriptive term or a term of endearment.

> ##### Family Feud
> At the height of the war against the giants, the two sides were in a stalemate. The two twins and foremost generals of the dragons, Bahamut and Tiamat, found themselves disagreeing over how to continue. Bahamut wanted to end the fighting, there were too many dead at both sides already, and further war would just lead to the end of one or both of the races. Tiamat mentioned that a quick end would come if they attacked the safe havens, but Bahamut would haven none of it. The two agreed to hold off, but Tiamat had deceived her brother, she amassed the dragons under her command and attacked the very next day.
>
> With the cover of the dark, they approached the safe havens, but as the sun rose, Tiamat found her brother and the rest of the draconic army outside the cities. Bahamut loudly proclaimed that no dragons should stoop so low and that all dragons following him knew to fight with honor. As the light rose on the horizon, the sun painted a majestic picture as their scales would forever be changed. With the help of the giants, Bahamut banished Tiamat into the Nine Hells, but the draconic race would forever be split into two sides:

The vibrant colors of the chromatics-black, blue, green, red, white-gleam in their scaled skin and in the deadly energy of their breath weapons.

## Eladrin

Eladrin dwell in the verdant splendor of the Feywild. They are related to the Elves found on the Material Plane. But while other Elves can temper their wild impulses, Eladrin are ruled by emotion—and due to their magical nature, they undergo physical changes to match their changes in temperament.

Eladrin have spent centuries in the Feywild, and many of them have become Fey creatures as a result. Some remain Humanoid, however, similar to that of their other Elven kin.

### Changeable Natures

Whenever one of the Eladrin presented here finishes a long rest, they can associate themself with a different season, provided they aren't incapacitated. When the Eladrin makes this change, they use the stat block of the new season rather than their old stat block. Any damage the Eladrin sustained in their previous form applies to the new form, as do any conditions or other ongoing effects affecting them.

How frequently Eladrin change their appearance is an individual's choice. Some spend their entire lives in the same season, others follow the seasons themselves, while others still may change as frequently as once per day.

### Magics of Emotion

The magic flowing through Eladrin responds to their emotional state by transforming them into different seasonal aspects, with behaviors and abilities that change with their forms. Some remain in a particular aspect for years, while others run through the emotional spectrum each week.

Not only does the core season of one's disposition speak volumes about their current emotional state, but within each of those seasons, there is a spectrum of nuance that is often imperceivable to those that are not Eladrin. For example, the winter season is a somber one that is most known for its sense of mourning and despair, but some Eladrin may choose to take on this season when facing a big dilemma as it may help them clear their head as they search for a solution.

### States of the Seasons

Like their physical appearance and their powers, the impulsiveness and intensity of fey Eladrin caused them to wildly change their personality depending on the season to which their emotional state felt closest.

- **Spring.** Eladrin in the spring state are joyful, playful, and fond of mischievously playing pranks on others. They are often oblivious to the dangers of doing so.
- **Summer.** In their summer state, which they enter when angered, Eladrin become aggressive, vindictive, and furious.
- **Autumn.** In their autumn state, Eladrin are eager to resolve conflicts and promote peace. They are endlessly caring and ready to help others no matter the cost.
- **Winter.** In their winter state, Eladrin become bitter and pensive. They often cry frozen tears and irradiate a feeling of gloom that can be felt like a cold wind.

Despite these variations, all fey Eladrin share many common traits, such as a respect for personal freedom, a great love for the arts, and a desire to surround themselves with beautiful objects.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

## Fairy

The Feywild is home to many fantastic peoples, including fairies. Fairies are a wee folk, but not nearly as much so as their pixie and sprite friends.

The first fairies spoke Elvish, Goblin, or Sylvan, and encounters with Human visitors prompted many of them to learn Common as well.

Infused with the magic of the Feywild, most fairies look like Small Elves with insectile wings, but each fairy has a special physical characteristic that sets the fairy apart.

For your fairy, roll on the Fey Characteristics table or choose an option from it. You're also free to come up with your own characteristic if none of the suggestions below fit your character.

### Servants of the Fey Court

All Fairies begin their lives in the service of one of the Courts of the Feywild, and the Archfey they serve is the closest thing many of them will have to a parent.

The longer a fairy spends in the presence of an Archfey, the more they start to resemble them. While in the Feywild, Fairies stop maturing, both physically and emotionally, when they reach adulthood, allowing them a strange perpetual immortality.

The fairies who reject a life of unchanging servitude most often do so to become adventurers on the material plane, where they can age and develop normally. Fairy adventurers often pursue their knack for illusion magic as bards, wizards, or sorcerers, though some strike pacts and become warlocks.

### Fairy Names

Due to their whimsical nature and ever-changing interests, Fairies will change their name spontaneously when a mood takes them. Fairies usually adopt the name of a particularly beautiful natural phenomena or powerful emotion; Aurora, Dewdrop, Sunrise, Rainbow, Joy, Serenity, or Glee.

### Fairy Traits
Though Fairies vary greatly depending on the Archfey they serve, all Fairies have the following traits in common.

***Ability Score Increases.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 2 and your Charisma score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Fairies reach adulthood a year and a day after their birth, and do not age further in the Feywild. While in mortal realms they age normally and can live to be 50 years old.

***Size.*** Fairies stand only a few inches in height, the largest of which stand almost a foot tall. Your size is Tiny, you can wield only weapons that have the Light property, and you cannot wield weapons nor don armor unless it is specifically sized to fit a creature of your stature.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 15 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Fey Ancestry.*** You have advantage on saving throws you make to avoid or end the charmed condition on yourself.

***Faerie Flight.*** Because of your wings, you have a flying speed of 30 feet. You can't use this flying speed if you're wearing medium or heavy armor.

***Fey Magic.*** You know the druidcraft and minor illusion cantrips. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the faerie fire spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the calm emotions spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and your choice of either Sylvan or Elvish.

## Firbolgs
<!--
WE SPENT THREE MONTHS TRACKING THE GREEN 
</br>
dragon before locating the forest in which it sought refuge. On our second day in that place, we woke to find the dragon's head placed in the center of our camp. Soveliss told me that ftrbolgs must have claimed the forest, and they wanted to show us we had no further business there. If we lingered, he assured me, our heads would be next.
<p style="text-align: right;">— Gimble, Notes from a Treasure Hunter</p>

</br>
-->

Firbolg tribes cloister in remote forest strongholds, preferring to spend their days in quiet harmony with the woods. When provoked, Firbolgs demonstrate formidable skills with weapons and druidic magic.

### Humble Guardians
Firbolgs love nothing more than a peaceful day spent among the trees of an old forest. They see forests as sacred places, representing the heart of the world and monuments to the durability of life.

In their role as caretakers, Firbolgs live off the land while striving to remain in balance with nature. Their methods reflect common sense and remarkable resourcefulness. During a bountiful summer, they store away excess nuts, fruit, and berries. When winter arrives, they scatter everything they can spare to ensure the animals of the wood survive until springtime.

In a Firbolg's eyes, there is no greater fault than greed. The Firbolgs believe that the world remains healthiest when each creature takes only what it needs. Material goods, especially precious gems and gold, have little appeal to them. What use are such things when winter lingers and food runs short?

### Natural Druids
Firbolgs have a talent for druidic magic. Their cultural reverence for nature, combined with their strong and insightful minds, makes learning such magic an instinctive part of their development. Almost every Firbolg learns a few spells, typically those used to mask their presence, and many go on to master nature magic.

Firbolgs who become druids serve as stronghold leaders. With every action the tribe takes, the druids weigh not only the group's needs, but the effect each action will have on the forest and the rest of the natural world. Firbolg tribes would rather go hungry than strain the land during a famine.

### Hidden Shepherds
As caretakers of the land, Firbolgs prefer to remain out of sight and out of mind. They don't try to dominate nature, but rather seek to ensure that it prospers and survives according to its own laws.

Firbolgs use their magic to keep their presence in a forest secret. This approach allows them to avoid the politics and struggles of Elves, Humans, and Orcs. Such events concern the Firbolgs only when the events affect the forest.

Even in the face of an intrusion, Firbolgs prefer a subtle, gentle approach to prevent damage to their territory. They employ their magic to make the forest an unappealing place to explore by temporarily diverting springs, driving away game, stealing critical tools, and altering trails to leave hunting or lumber parties hopelessly lost.

The Firbolgs' presence is marked by an absence of animals and a strange quiet, as if the forest wishes to avoid attracting attention to itself. If these tactics fail, the Firbolgs take more direct action. Their observations of a settlement determine what happens next. If the outsiders seem peaceful, the Firbolgs approach and gently ask them to leave, even offering food and other supplies to aid their departure.

If those who insist on remaining respect nature, take only what they need, and live in harmony with the wood, Firbolgs explore the possibility of friends

\pagebreakNum

### Outcast Adventurers
As guardians of the wood, few Firbolgs would dream of leaving their homes or attempting to fit into Human society. An exiled Firbolg, or one whose clan has been destroyed, might not have a choice in the matter. Most adventuring Firbolgs fall into this latter category.

Outcast Firbolgs can never return home. They committed some unforgivable deed, usually something that put their homeland at risk, such as starting a forest fire or killing a rare or beautiful wild creature. These Firbolgs are loners who wander the world in hope of finding a new place to call home.

Orphaned Firbolgs are those whose clans or homelands have been destroyed. They become crusaders for nature, seeking to avenge their loss and prevent the further destruction of the natural world.

A few rare Firbolgs are entrusted by their clan with an important mission that takes them beyond their homes. These Firbolgs feel like pilgrims in a strange land, and usually they wish only to complete their quests and return home as quickly as possible.

##### Firbolg Adventurers
| d8 | Reason for Adventuring |
|:---:|:-----------:|
| 1 | Outcast for murder |
| 2 | Outcast for severely damaging home territory |
| 3 | Clan slain by invading humanoids |
| 4 | Clan slain by a dragon or demon |
| 5 | Separated from the tribe and lost |
| 6 | Homeland destroyed by natural disaster |
| 7 | Personal quest ordained by omens |
| 8 | Dispatched on a quest by tribe leaders |

### Firbolg Names
Firbolg adopt Elven names when they must deal with outsiders, although the concept of names strikes them as strange. They know the animals and plants of the forest without formal names, and instead identify the forest's children by their deeds, habits, and other actions.

By the same token, their tribe names merely refer to their homes. When dealing with other races, Firbolgs refer to their lands by whatever name the surrounding folk use, as a matter of tact and hospitality, but among their own kind they simply call it "home."

Sometimes Firbolgs adopt the nicknames or titles outsiders give them under the assumption that those who need names can call them whatever they wish.

> ##### Firbolg Classes
> Most Firbolgs are druids, rangers, or fighters. Among their kind, these vocations are passed down from one generation to the next. The Firbolgs' magical heritage also expresses itself in other ways; those who become bards preserve the clan's lore, and Firbolg sorcerers defend their communities. Firbolg wizards arise when a clan becomes friendly with Elves.

## Genasi
Those who think of other planes at all consider them remote, distant realms, but planar influence can be felt throughout the world. It sometimes manifests in beings who, through an accident of birth, carry the power of the planes in their blood. The Genasi are the offspring of genies and mortals.

### Elemental Offspring

The Elemental Planes are often inhospitable to natives of the Material Plane: crushing earth, searing flames, boundless skies, and endless seas make visiting these places dangerous for even a short time. The powerful genies, however, don’t face such troubles when venturing into the mortal world.

They adapt well to the mingled elements of the Material Plane, and they sometimes visit — whether of their own volition or compelled by magic. Some genies can adopt mortal guise and travel incognito.

During these visits, a mortal might catch a genie’s eye. Friendship forms, romance blooms, and sometimes children result. These children are Genasi: individuals with ties to two worlds, yet belonging to neither.

Some Genasi are born of mortal-genie unions, others have two Genasi as parents, and a rare few have a genie further up their family tree, manifesting an elemental heritage that’s lain dormant for generations.

Occasionally, Genasi result from exposure to a surge of elemental power, through phenomena such as an eruption from the Inner Planes or a planar convergence. Elemental energy saturates any creatures in the area and might alter their nature enough that their offspring with other mortals are born as Genasi.

### Heirs to Elemental Power
Genasi inherit something from both sides of their dual nature. They resemble Humans but have unusual skin color (red, green, blue, or gray), and there is something odd about them. The elemental blood flowing through their veins manifests differently in each Genasi, often as magical power.

Seen in silhouette, a Genasi can usually pass for human. Those of earth or water descent tend to be heavier, while those of air or fire tend to be lighter. A given Genasi might have some features reminiscent of the mortal parent (pointed ears from an Elf, a stockier frame and thick hair from a Dwarf, small hands and feet from a Halfling, exceedingly large eyes from a Gnome, and so on).

Genasi almost never have contact with their elemental parents. Genies seldom have interest in their mortal offspring, seeing them as accidents. Many feel nothing for their Genasi children at all.

Some Genasi live as outcasts after being driven into exile for their unsettling appearance and strange magic. Others gain positions of great influence within cities thathave learned to accept their elemental heritage. A few Genasi leave the Material Plane to find refuge in the households of their genie parents.

### Wild and Confident
Genasi rarely lack confidence, seeing themselves as equal to almost any challenge in their path. This certainty might manifest as graceful self-assurance in one Genasi and as arrogance in another. Such self confidence can sometimes blind Genasi to risk, and their great plans often get them and others into trouble.

Too much failure can chip away at even a Genasi’s sense of self, so they constantly push themselves to improve, honing their talents and perfecting their craft.

### Genasi Lands
As rare beings, Genasi might go their entire lives without encountering another one of their kind. There are no great Genasi cities or empires. Genasi seldom have communities of their own and typically adopt the cultures and societies into which they are born.

Many Genasi lose themselves in teeming cities, where their distinctiveness hardly raises an eyebrow in places accustomed to a variety of different people.

\pagebreakNum

The more strange their appearance, the harder time they have. Many Genasi lose themselves in teeming cities, where their distinctiveness hardly raises an eyebrow in places accustomed to a variety of different people.

Those living on the frontier, though, have a much harder time. People there tend to be less accepting of differences. Sometimes a cold shoulder and a suspicious glare are the best Genasi can hope for, or else they may face ostracism and even violence from people who mistake them for fiends.

### Genasi Names
Some Genasi use the naming conventions of the people among whom they were raised. This most often means following the conventions of their mortal parentage. They might later assume distinctive names to capture their elemental heritage, such as Flame, Ember, Wave, or Onyx.

### Genasi Traits
Your Genasi character has certain characteristics in common with all other Genasi.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your ability score increases are determined by your choice of Elemental Ancestry.

***Age.*** Genasi mature at about the same rate as Humans and reach adulthood in their late teens. They live somewhat longer than Humans do, up to 120 years.

***Size.*** Genasi are as varied as their mortal parents but are generally built like Humans, standing anywhere from 5 feet to over 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Elemental Ancestry.*** You have an ancient ancestry that ties you to the elemental planes beyond our own. Choose one type of elements from the three Elemental Ancestry tables in the sections below. This determines the damage type for your other traits, as shown in the table, while also giving you a variety of additional traits depending on your choice.

***Elemental Resistance.*** You have resistance to the damage type associated with your Elemental Ancestry.

***Elemental Consumption.*** When you take damage of the type associated with your Elemental Ancestry, you may use your reaction to consume a portion of that energy, channeling it into your next strike.

The first time before the end of your next turn that you hit with a weapon or spell attack that deals damage of the type consumed, you may choose to deal additional damage equal to 1d8 of the damage type consumed. If you reach the end of your next turn without expelling this energy, you instead gain temporary hit points equal to the additional damage that you would have dealt on a hit. This damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).

You can use your Elemental Consumption a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Primordial. Primordial is a guttural language, filled with harsh syllables and hard consonants.

***Subrace.*** Three subraces of Genasi are known of, each with their own list of elemental archetypes: True Genasi, Divine Genasi, and Accursed Genasi.

\pagebreakNum

#### True Genasi
Whether it be their physically, emotionallity, or whatever else, True Genasi each embody the elements of their birth in all they do.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 2.

***Pure Ancestry.*** Your connection to the elemental energy that runs through your veins is as pure as it could ever be. When using your Elemental Consumption trait, you may choose to gain immunity to the triggering elemental damage for the attack.

##### Air

Air Genasi are descended from the ever wandering Djinn. Akin to the weather itself, their moods may shift from calm and collected to wild and violent with little warning, though such storms rarely last long.

##### Radiant

Born of purely divine energies, Radiant Genasi are beings of the purest form of creation magics. Despite the radiant origin of their ancestral powers, these Genasi hold no inherent connection to any gods, though their divine disposition often acts as a natural introduction to a life of faith.

Their brightly burning radiance takes many forms. From shining, pupilless eyes to star-like freckles, to whatever else, they are often mistaken for celestial beings due to their naturally angelic visage.

#### Accursed Genasi

The soul of an Accursed Genasi is formed of dark magics and an endless sense of turmoil and despair. Bloodlines such as this only spawn from genies with an eternal lust for power that has driven them mad, leading to the formation a dark deal with one of the many occult powers of this world that has forever cursed their ancestral lineage.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.

\pagebreak

***Accursed Ancestry.*** You are resistant to necrotic damage and may use your Elemental Consumption trait when taking necrotic damage.

This damage may not be reduced in any way.

</center>

##### Ash

Spawned of necrotic flames and cindering ash, these Genasi are the elemental incarnation of vengeance. Their hearts burn with an ethereal flame; a desperate, hungry fire that thirsts for blood.

Though their place in this world is not predetermined, these Genasi are often drawn to the effects of death, specifically the final breath one takes before their end. More often than not, this primal curiosity leads them to a life of the hunt— whether it be beasts of burden or their fellow man is the only question left to wonder.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Ashen Form.*** When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

##### Salt

Born with harsh, grating hearts of salt, Salt Genasi are known for their ability to preserve life on the edge of death. Thought to be lonely and grim, these Genasi are not naturally social and can often come off as blunt, stubborn, or sarcastic to those they are not well acquainted with.

They often appear humanoid, but as if all color has been bleached from their bodies. Their hair, eyes, and skin all tend to be white or gray, and their skin and hair always shed tiny grains of salt which shimmer and twinkle in the sunlight.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.

***Naturally Preserved.*** You have advantage on death saving throws and all saving throws that would lower your maximum health. Additionally, you have no need to drink water, though may if you so wish.

Starting at 3rd level, you learn the inflict wounds spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the gentle repose spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

##### Dust

Dust understand that all things are finite and must eventually come to dust, but the gravity of this knowledge humbles them in their duty to chronicle the histories of this world.

Some choose to preserve history, while others aim to seek it out. Adventuring to seek out histories to record or artifacts to preserve, they roam the planes to make sure someone remembers how the multiverse's many civilizations lived.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 1

***The Dust Remembers.*** When you make an Intelligence (History) or Intelligence (Religion) check, you can make the check with advantage. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Starting at 3rd level, you learn the bane spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the dust devil spell and can cast it once with this trait, dealing force damage instead of bludgeoning damage. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

##### Vacuum

Known to be cold and emotionless, Vacuum Genasi are alien, even by elemental standards. They are tall and rail thin, with dark, lusterless skin and dark eyes.

Often born to completely black eyes or an unnatural coldness that seems to emanate from their bodies, they have many difficulties connecting to others, sometimes even lacking base Human emotions such as empathy or passion.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Spawn of the Void.*** You don't breathe, though may pretend to simulate such effects while conscious. Additionally, you can see in dim light within 90 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

***Touched By The Void.*** You know the mind sliver cantrip and can cast it dealing your choice of necrotic or psychic damage. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the dissonant whispers spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the silence spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

## Gith

The story of the Gith is rooted in a cruel twist of cosmic fate. Inspired by the great leader for whom the race is named, the Gith rose up to overthrow the mind flayers that held them in servitude. But after they won their freedom, two factions among the Gith disagreed on what kind of civilization they would forge.

That disagreement quickly flared into open hostility, and the two groups distanced themselves from one another to pursue their separate agendas. They remain bitter enemies today, each side willing to fight to the death whenever they cross paths.

### Githyanki
The Githyanki (Githyanki means "children of Gith") were motivated by revenge and convinced that they deserved to take whatever they wanted from the worlds they traveled.

Ranging out from the titanic city of Tu'narath on the Astral Plane, they send raiders out to plunder the Material Plane and other worlds, bringing treasures and slaves back to their ageless realm. At the same time, they hunt down and kill mind flayers whenever possible, as recompense for what the illithids did to them.

Since winning their freedom from the mind flayers, the Githyanki have become corrupt raiders and destroyers under the rulership of their dread lich-queen, Vlaakith. They dwell on the Astral Plane in the city of Tu'narath, a metropolis built on and in the corpse of a deity.

Vlaakith commands the loyalty of the Githyanki from her personal stronghold, Susurrus, also called the Palace of Whispers, which is located deep inside the floating city. She sits on her Throne of Bones, a mighty artifact fueled by the intellects of mind flayers and elder brains that were defeated by her minions.

It is crafted from mind flayer skulls and extremities, and the cushion she sits on is made of leather produced from the cured remains of an elder brain. A grand statue of Gith, an obsidian monument over 100 feet tall, stands beside the palace.

### Githzerai
The Githzerai (Githzerai means "those who spurn Gith") believed that the path to an enlightened civilization lay in seclusion, not conflict. Their dedication to the principles of order is so strong that they can manipulate the stuff of chaos and use it to their benefit; thus, they have carved out an impervious stronghold for themselves on the plane of Limbo.

The Githzerai were born as a race at the end of the Gith's bloody, genocidal uprising against the mind flayers. A Gith named Zerthimon, who had gained a significant following during the conflict, challenged Gith's plans and her leadership. Gith was evil, the newcomer proclaimed, and she would lead the people into darkness and tyranny not unlike the one imposed by the illithids.

Thus, no sooner had the Gith defeated their sworn enemies than they were plunged into a bitter civil war. In the ensuing conflict, Zerthimon was killed and his followers, naming themselves Githzerai, relocated their civilization to the plane of Limbo.

Today, under the leadership of the Great Githzerai, Zaerith Menyar-Ag-Gith, the Githzerai continue to stand fast against the Githyanki, as well as taking their revenge on the mind flayers. Through forays into the Material Plane and other realms, they provide stiff opposition to their enemies' plans for world domination.

### Two Parts of a Whole
Githyanki are tall, gaunt humanoids averaging a little over 6 feet tall and typically weighing around 170 pounds. They have rough, yellow skin and russet hair, which they often pull back into a pair of topknots. Their noses are almost flat, their eyes have a sinister gleam, and their ears are sharply pointed.

Githzerai closely resemble Githyanki. Like their kin, they are tall, gaunt humanoids averaging a little over 6 feet tall and typically weighing around 160 pounds. They have rough, yellow skin and russet hair, although they habitually shave their heads. Their noses are almost flat, their eyes are dull yellow or gray, and their ears are pointed.

> ##### Dragon Steeds 
> The relationship between Githyanki and red dragons has remained basically unchanged since ancient times. Under the terms of the alliance with Tiamat, a small cadre of dragons serve as cohorts and mounts for knights, and other high-ranking Githyanki. The dragons remain above Githyanki politics. They obey the orders of their riders and fulfill their terms of service without offering opinions or advice.

## Satyrs
Many tales speak of fey which use their charm to befriend or trick unwary travelers. Most such stories have sprung forth from satyrs, whether they star in it or spun it together themselves. Even other fey will quiet down to listen to the voice of a goatman.

Satyrs, or fauns as they are commonly known, are fey creatures that delight in singing, dancing, feasting, and debauchery.

### Carefree Beastmen
Satyrs have Elven ears, a furry lower body, and cloven hooves like goats. Horns sprout from their heads, ranging in shape from a pair of small nubs to large, curling rams' horns. These fey-ancestry humanoids are light-hearted and prone to taking it easy but have an inborn restlessness. Combine this with their insatiable curiosity and with the ease in which they deal with other humanoid creatures, and it is easy to see why many fauns are seen as mischievous.

Unlike most fey, satyrs are drawn to civilization, thriving in the social aspects of life. Satyrs can come to love any work that has social aspects, but won't stay for long unless the job varies heavily from day to day. Most satyrs find themselves as troubadours, adventurers, messengers, or as traveling merchants.

### Embracing Life
Most satyrs believe that the other races are woefully burdened with the plague of seriousness. Satyrs scoff at the efforts of polis-builders with their laws and right angles, and they poke fun at philosophers with their endless theories and interminable discourse. Satyrs feel that life is to be lived and experienced with all the senses.

<br>

### Hedonistic Revelers
Satyrs crave the strongest drink, the most fragrant spices, and the most dizzying dances. A satyr feels starved when it can't indulge itself, and it goes to great lengths to sate its desires.

It might kidnap a fine minstrel to hear lovely songs, sneak through a well-defended garden to gaze upon a beautiful lad or lass, or infiltrate a palace to taste the finest food in the land.

Satyrs allow no festivity to pass them by. They partake in any holiday they've heard of. Civilizations of the world have enough festivals and holy days among them to justify nonstop celebration.

Inebriated on drink and pleasure, satyrs give no thought to the consequences of the hedonism they incite in others. They leave such creatures mystified at their own behavior. Such revelers might have to scrounge for excuses to explain their disordered state to parents, employers, family, or friends.

### Wandering Troubadours
Every new experience fills a satyr with a sense of wonder, and most satyrs travel to sate this curiosity, sometimes staying at a place for a decade or two, before moving on. Their social capabilities make it easy for them to find a place to fit into, even with such a heavy reputation.

In the wild, they make their homes at the bases of trees or in burrows and can be found everywhere; from steep mountain ranges to deep forests to wide-open plains. They love creature comforts, so they keep well-stocked larders and stores of wine and mead. Travelers who come upon satyr homes often find them empty because the owner is out exploring or at a woodland revel.

\pagebreakNum

### Lovers of Story and Song
A satyr would say that it loves beauty above all things. Most memorizes hundreds of stories and songs, and many invents hundreds more. Anything can be inspiration to a satyr, from the morning mist to a blossoming flower to—especially—an attractive maiden.

Playing an instrument comes naturally to a satyr, it is something that they know how to do even before they can speak or walk. The melodies that satyrs produce haunt forest glades throughout the Feywild, and their tunes are inherently magical.

### The Art of Revel
Humans think of satyrs' revels as raucous bacchanals, where anything and everything might happen. This picture isn't wrong, but rather incomplete: there's more to a revel than debauchery.

For satyrs, revelry is a way of life. It's the delight in small things: the song of a bird, a warm breeze, the smell of a tasty pie, relaxing by a river in the sunshine.

### The Art of Revel
Life freely offers these gifts, and for a satyr, they are more valuable than gold or glory. To revel means to forget the constraints of time, to let go of the future and past, and to be wholly in the present moment.

For satyrs, encountering life with all the senses honors the gods, and-most importantly- it feels really good. Driven by instinct and intuition, most satyrs prove unpredictable, following their sense of wonder wherever it leads.

### Satyr Names
A satyr's name is as playful and mischievous as they are, and each one is given when a satyr's personality shines through. Most satyrs also give each other nicknames.

<!--
The names of satyrs depend on where they grew up, many using Human or Elven names. A few use sylvan names that they have translated into Common, to give them a more worldly flair.

It is quite common for them to have several names; taken names, nicknames, earned names, or even names borrowed from past lovers. They switch between these names as others changes clothes, some pick the name most likely to fit in, others depending on the moon, while a few just pick one each day at random.

<!--
SATYR
Satyrs have a well-earned reputation for their good spirits, gregarious personalities, and love of revels. Most satyrs are driven by simple desires, to see the world and to sample its every pleasure. While their spontaneity and whimsy sometimes put them at odds with more stoic peoples, satyrs rarely let the moodiness of others hinder their own happiness. Life is a blessing from the gods, after all, and the proper response to such a gift, as far as most satyrs are concerned, is to accept it with relish.

BORN OF THE WILD
In their physical forms, satyrs embody a fusion of humanoid civilization with the freedom of wild beasts. Generally, they look similar to Humans, with a range of builds and features. But their goatlike horns, pointed ears, and furred lower bodies sharply distinguish them.

Satyrs' solid horns connect to their heads at the base of their skulls, while their legs end in sturdy hooves. Thick fur covers their bodies from the waist down, shorter at the waist and longer below the knees. Short, soft hair grows down their neck and spine, along their shoulders, and on their forearms.

***Ability Score Increases.*** Your Charisma score increases by 2 and your Dexterity score increases by 1.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Fey Cunning.*** You have advantage on all Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against magic.

***Reveler.*** As an embodiment of revelry, you have proficiency in the Performance and Persuasion skills, and you have proficiency with one musical instrument of your choice.

***Mirthful Leaps.*** Whenever you make a long jump or a high jump, you can increase the number of feet you cover by a number equal to twice your Proficiency Bonus, even when making a standing jump. This extra distance costs movement as usual.

***Ram.*** Your curved horns are natural melee weapons, with which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier.

Additionally, once per turn, if you move at least 10 feet before attempting to shove a creature no more than one size larger than you, you may use your horns to give you advantage on the Strength (Athletics) check to do so.

***Sure-footed.*** Your size and wide stance makes you particularly hard to knock over. When a creature attempts to knock you prone or move you against your will, you have advantage on the ability check or saving throw made to resist it.

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.

## Shadar-Kai

Shadar-kai were once Humans, native to the world. They were all members of an extended tribe who called themselves Shadar-Kai. These early Humans had seen the abuses Nerull, once god of death, perpetrated on the souls who passed into his power.

When the Raven Queen slew Nerull and ascended to godhood, in an age now largely forgotten, the Shadar-Kai struck a deal with her. They promised to serve as her mortal agents, and in exchange, she gave them incredibly long life and freedom from frailty.

The Shadar-Kai moved to the Shadowfell, setting up their communities on the borders of Letherna, the Raven Queen’s domain. Life in shadow changed the Humans, reshaping them and altering their appearance. Eventually, they were so different from Humans that they became a distinct species.

### Ashen and Scarred
Shadar-kai are humanlike, but the weight of existence in the Shadowfell has shaped them to be slightly shorter and much thinner than their Human counterparts. A shadar-kai has a colorless complexion that varies from alabaster to dark gray.

Shadar-kai hair is similarly drab or raven black. Pale hair might have a hint of color within the range of Human norms. The eyes are lustrous and black, lacking any white or clear pupil. Shadows near a shadar-kai sometimes seem to reach out or deepen, especially when the shadar-kai is angry.

Although drab in natural appearance, shadar-kai are quite elaborate and idiosyncratic in personal adornment. They like dark and exotic clothing, jewelry, and weapons, often decorated with swatches of bright color. Hair is similarly ornate and often dyed, and many embellish their skin with tattoos, scars, and piercings.

The tattoos, scars, and piercings a shadar-kai wears have more than one purpose. They exist as a testament to the wearer’s ability to withstand pain as well as a means of personal expression and decoration. Each decoration can also be a record of a deed done, an honor gained, or a misdeed declared.

### The Raven Queen
Through their pact with the Raven Queen, each shadar-kai is an instrument of death and fate. The Raven Queen doesn’t demand worship from the shadar-kai, although she receives it in abundance. She demands only that they observe the pact by keeping her commandments regardless of other beliefs. So most shadar-kai hold no pity for the dying and try to punish those who defy fate. But shadar-kai also believe that nobody truly knows what fate holds.

The Raven Queen is a fair mother, if not a loving one. When the shadar-kai called upon her in ancient times, she answered. She still does. While she spares little love, she also never demands the love of her children. Almost all shadar-kai revere the Raven Queen, but each shadar-kai is free to choose his or her destiny and way of life, including religion.

### Strong Emotions
The Shadowfell saps living creatures of creativity and the will to live. When shadar-kai moved to the Shadowfell ages ago, they were not immune to this depression. Numerous members of their early society gave in to ennui and simply slipped out of existence, driving the shadar-kai to change their lifestyle, embracing strong emotions and peak experiences. These practices, born out of necessity, became traditions over countless generations.

The current culture of the shadar-kai is a study in pushing boundaries. Shadar-kai welcome difficult tasks, as well as physical and emotional extremes, as a way of life. They learn to channel the darkness of the Shadowfell rather than allowing that darkness to consume them. And they accept death as the inevitable end for those who fail to attain the right amount of power or fame.

Shadar-kai embrace living with gusto. The limits of pleasure and pain distract them from the wearying melancholy of the Shadowfell. They also strive for personal greatness, so that if they fail to gain the actual ability to live forever, stories of their great deeds will grant a sort of immortality. In this search for personal glory, most shadar-kai ignore banalities such as comfort, morality, and safety.

\pagebreakNum

### Call of the Shadowfell
Although shadar-kai leave the Shadowfell to seek fortune in the world and among the planes, a few needs and wants drive a shadar-kai to return home from time to time. Most shadar-kai feel a basic need to visit the enveloping dimness of the Shadowfell at least intermittently. The plane is unlike even the darkest reaches of other planes.

Obtaining new adornments and equipment in the proper style often requires a return to the Shadowfell. Shadar-kai also return to their gloomy settlements to spend time among those who see extreme, weird, or even deviant as normal. And they come home to brag.

### Shadar-kai Names
Shadar-kai have similar names to their Human counterparts, though they did change slightly due to their isolation in the Shadowfell, with the only real influencing force being the will of the Raven Queen. Their names are often merely the inventions of their parents, though some common names do exist.

## Tieflings

To be greeted with stares and whispers, to suffer violence and insult on the street, to see mistrust and fear in every eye: this is the lot of the Tiefling. And to twist the knife, Tieflings know that this is because a pact struck generations ago infused the essence of Asmodeus—overlord of the Nine Hells—into their bloodline.

### Infernal Bloodline
Tieflings are derived from Human bloodlines, and in the broadest possible sense, they still look human. However, their infernal heritage has left a clear imprint on their appearance.

Tieflings have large horns that take any of a variety of shapes: some have curling horns like a ram, others have straight and tall horns like a gazelle's, and some spiral upward like an antelopes' horns. They have thick tails, four to five feet long, which lash or coil around their legs when they get upset or nervous. Their canine teeth are sharply pointed, and their eyes are solid colors with no visible sclera or pupil.

Their skin tones cover the full range of Human coloration, but also include various shades of red. Their hair, cascading down from behind their horns, is usually dark, from black or brown to dark red, blue, or purple.

### Self-Reliant and Suspicious
Tieflings subsist in small minorities found mostly in Human cities or towns, often in the roughest quarters of those places, where they grow up to be swindlers, thieves, or crime lords.

Sometimes they live among other minority populations in enclaves where they are treated with more respect.

<br>

Lacking a homeland, Tieflings know that they have to make their own way in the world and that they have to be strong to survive.

They are not quick to trust anyone who claims to be a friend, but when a Tiefling's companions demonstrate that they trust him or her, the tiefting learns to extend the same trust to them, And once a tiefting gives someone loyalty, the tiefting is a firm friend or ally for life.

### Tiefling Names
Tiefting names fall into three broad categories. Tieftings born into another culture typically have names reflective of that culture. Some have names derived from the Infernal language, passed down through generations, that reflect their fiendish heritage.

And some younger Tieflings, striving to find a place in the world, adopt a name that signifies a virtue or other concept and then try to embody that concept. For some. the chosen name is a noble quest. For others. it's a grim destiny.

## Triton

Tritons guard the ocean depths, building small settlements beside deep trenches, portals to the elemental planes, and other dangerous spots far from the eyes of land-bound folk.

### Aquatic Crusaders
Centuries ago, Tritons entered the world in response to the growing threat of evil elementals. Tritons waged many wars against their enemies on the Plane of Water, driving them into the Darkened Depths where they escaped into the crushing pressure and utter darkness.

In time, the Tritons noticed that their ancient elemental foes had grown quiet. Expeditions to the depths revealed that krakens, sahuagin, and far worse foes had fled the Plane of Water for the Material Plane.

The Tritons, driven by a sense of duty and responsibility, would not allow their foes to escape so easily. A great conclave of Tritons chose volunteers skilled in weapons and magic as part of an expeditionary force to enter the Material Plane and seek out their enemies.

Those Tritons spread across the world's oceans and established protectorates to watch over deep sea trenches, portals, undersea caves, and other locations where their enemies might lurk. They defeated their foes when they found them and drove the rest into hiding.

### Haughty Nobles
As a result of their isolation and limited understanding of the Material Plane, Tritons can come across as haughty and arrogant. They see themselves as caretakers of the sea, and they expect other creatures to pay them deep respect, if not complete deference.

This attitude might grate on others, but it arises from a seed of truth. Few know of the Tritons' great victories over dreadful undersea threats. The Tritons make little allowance for such ignorance and are delighted to expound upon the great debt others owe them.

### Staunch Champions
Despite their off-putting manners, Tritons are benevolent creatures at heart, convinced that other civilized races deserve their protection. Their attitude might grate, but when pirate fleets prowl the waves or a kraken awakens from its slumber, they are the first to take up arms to protect others.

Tritons readily sacrifice themselves for the common good. They will fight and die for Humans, merfolk, and other creatures without question. Their self-absorbed nature makes them overlook the history of other creatures, but they also endure a sense of guilt over allowing the evils of the Plane of Water to enter the Material Plane and threaten its inhabitants. The Tritons believe they owe a debt of honor to the world, and they will fight and die to pay it.

At times their fervor and ignorance of the world can lead them astray. Tritons encountering other creatures for the first time can underestimate them, leaving the Tritons vulnerable to deception. With their strong martial tradition, Tritons can sometimes be too eager to leap into a fight.

### Strangers to the Surface
Given their isolation, most Tritons have never been to the surface world. They struggle with the idea that they can't easily move up and down out of water, and the changing of the seasons mystifies them.

Tritons also find the variety of social institutions, kingdoms, and other customs bewildering. For all their proud culture, they remain innocent of the surface world. The typical Triton protectorate is tightly regimented, organized, and unified around a common cause. A Triton on the surface becomes easily confused by the bewildering array of alliances, rivalries, and petty grievances that prevent the surface folk from truly unifying.

At its worst, a Triton's arrogance compounds the tendency to misunderstand the ways of the surface world. It's easy for them to blame baffling social practices on what they perceive as the barbarism, weakness, or cowardice of surface folk.

\pagebreakNum

### Triton Names
Most Triton names have two or three syllables and form simple phrases in aquan, their dialect of primordial. Male names typically end with a vowel whereas female names traditionally end with an n. Tritons use their home protectorate as a surname, with the name formed by adding a vowel followed by a "th" to the end of the protectorate's name.

#### Trenchspawn

Often considered monsters rather than men, Trenchspawn live within the deepest depths of the oceans' endless trenches, only ever leaving to hunt beasts of burden to bring back to their subterranean hive.

The truth of their demonic origins is unknown, though with such strange blessings and savage capabilities, there are few within the aquatic kingdoms that doubt the truth of their intimate connection to the planes of the Abyss.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Abyssal Telepathy.*** You can speak, read, and write Abyssal and have resistance to psychic damage. Additionally, you can telepathically communicate with any creature you can see within 30 feet. You don’t need to share a language, but the target must speak at least one language to respond, which it may do as a reaction. You can only communicate with one creature at a time.

***Trenchspawn Magics.*** You know the ray of frost cantrip. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the armor of agathys spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the darkness spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

Additionally, you can only spend a limited number of hours in direct sunlight, equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 30 minutes), before having to take a short rest within a shaded area to recover. For every additional hour you spend in direct sunlight, you must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 10 + Number of hours in the sun) or take a level of exhaustion.

## Warforged
<!--
WARFORGED NEED LITTLE TO SURVIVE: NOT
</br>
*sleep, food, or even air to breathe. Warforged need only shelter from extremes of cold and heat, and to repair damage done to their bodies. With such minimal requirements, one might think a warforged could travel to a temperate climate and then do nothing but simply exist, standing in place like a statue. Yet warforged are thinking creatures, and as such they require activities to occupy their thoughts.*
___
<p style="text-align: right;">— Doctor, *A Guide to Warforged Physiology*</p>

</br>
-->

The technology used to create warforged began with the methods used to create mindless constructs. Although true sentience was a goal, there was little thought given to what the effects of sentience would be or how to best prepare those minds for their new existence.

### Living Constructs
At the moment of a warforgeds first awakening it has no knowledge of the world, no understanding of falsehood, and no feelings about good or evil. Lies told to it then might be considered truth forever, or at least until disproved.

Warforged appear as massive humanoids molded from a composite of materials — obsidian, iron, stone, darkwood, silver, and organic — though they move with a surprising grace and flexibility. Flexible plates connected by fibrous bundles make up the body of a warforged, topped by a mostly featureless head.

Warforged have no physical distinction of gender; all of them have a basically muscular, sexless body shape. In personality, some warforged seem more masculine or feminine, but different people might judge the same warforged in different ways.

### Struggle for Freedom
Freedom is wonderful, but it can also be terrifying. Warforged were created to fight and trained to follow orders; lacking a war to win or a leader to follow, many warforged are intimidated by the possibilities of freedom and seek comfort in roles where expectations are clear.

<br>

As the warforged strive to find a place in society for themselves after The War, they simultaneously struggle to find ways to relate to the races that created them. In general, the humanoid races regard the warforged as an unpleasant reminder of the brutality of The War and avoid dealing with them when possible.

To some, the warforged are still seen as the property of the military forces that paid to have them built, and most warforged in those nations serve as slave labor, often used to repair buildings and roads damaged or destroyed in the war.

Throughout certain lands they have freedom, but sometimes find themselves the victims of discrimination, hard-pressed to find work or any kind of acceptance.

Most warforged, not being particularly emotional creatures, accept their struggles and servitude with equanimity, but others seethe with resentment against all other races as well as those warforged whose only desire is to please their “masters.”

### Warforged Names
Warforged do not name themselves and only recently have begun to understand the need of other races to have names for everything. Many accept whatever names others see fit to give them, and warforged traveling with Humans often are referred to by nicknames.
___
**Warforged Nicknames:** Baker, Bender, Beast, Bulwark,

Buddy, Blank, Cart, Clanker, Dog, Friend, Golem,

Gearhead, Horse, Metalhead, Ratchet, Prodigy, Protector,

Pal, Rust Bucket, Sentinel, Sentry, Servant, Slave, Soldier,

Tinman, War Doctor, Warrior, Watcher.

### Warforged Traits
Your warforged character has the following racial traits.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Constitution score increases by 2.

***Age.*** Due to their artificial design, the true lengths of a Warforged lifespan is unknown as, theoretically, they should last as long the arcane core's within their chassis.

***Size.*** As a being of artifice, a Warforged comes in whatever shape it's creator desires. Your size is Small or Medium.

***Speed.*** Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

***Living Construct.*** You are considered a Living Construct, meaning your creature type is both Construct and Humanoid, granting the following benefits:

* You don't need to eat, drink, or breathe.
* You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.
* You have advantage on saving throws against being poisoned, resistance to poison damage, and immunity to disease.

As a Living Construct, spells that normally would not affect Constructs now heal you for half the normal amount instead. Additionally, if the mending spell is cast on you, you can expend and roll a Hit Die to regain a number of hit points equal to the roll plus your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

***Sentry's Rest.*** When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn't render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal.

***Integrated Tool.*** You have proficiency in one set of artisan’s tools. This tool is integrated into your body and you double your Proficiency Bonus for any ability checks you make with it. You must have your hands free to use this Integrated Tool.

***Integrated Protection.*** Your body has built-in protective layers, which determine your Armor Class. You gain no benefit from wearing armor, but if you are using a shield, you apply its bonus as normal.

You can alter your body to enter different defensive modes; each time you finish a long rest, choose one mode to adopt from the Integrated Protection table, provided you meet the mode's prerequisite.

</center>

***Languages.*** You can speak, read, and write Common and one additional language of your choice.

***Subrace.*** Formed in the vision of their creator, Warforged come in five distinct models: The Envoy, The Juggernaut, The Scribe, The Skirmisher, and The Surveyor.

#### Envoy

Originally designed as assistants and caretakers for the likes of the wealthy elite, Envoy-Class Warforged are outfitted with the many amenities you may expect from a servant of such artificial design.

Often equipped with integrated communication devices and sensors that allow them to read social cues and adapt to different cultural norms, Envoys excel at negotiations, acting as diplomats and ambassadors for their people.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Charisma score increases by 1.

***Translator.*** You have proficiency in the Persuasion skill and you can speak, read, and write two additional languages of your choice.

***Multi-Tool.*** When selecting a type of artisan's tool to benefit from your Integrated Tool trait, you may choose an additional item from the following list: a second set of artisan's tools, a gaming set, or a musical instrument.

***Built to Serve.*** You can take the Help action as a bonus action. You can use this trait a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

\pagebreakNum

> ##### Constructs' Repair Kit
> If you would like to emulate a deeper sense of immersion in playing a Warforged character, consider implementing the use of a Constructs' Repair Kit in place of any natural healing.
>
> Containing a variety of organic and inorganic materials and specialized tools (much like Warforged themselves), this kit contains just the right materials to help warforged encourage its ability to repair 'naturally'.
> 
> A Constructs' Repair Kit weighs 10lbs, costs 15 GP, and is used to fully heal a construct when it takes a long rest. This kit may be used to stabilize a dying construct as if expending a use from a healers kit. There are enough supplies for 20 emergency uses before it needs to be refilled at the cost of 10 GP.

#### Juggernaut

Originally designed as infantry units for the fields of war, Juggernaut-Class Warforged are most often outfitted with top of the line armaments and a series of martial disciplines to best prepare them for the harsh realities of war.

Their unique perspective on the horrors of war and vast martial capabilities often lead these Warforged to a life of contract work ranging from mercenary parties to taking personal defense contracts to whatever else they can find.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Strength score increases by 1.

***Powerful Build.*** You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

***Self Stabilizing.*** You were built to quickly recover on the battlefield. When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

***Siege Pistons.*** When you hit with an unarmed strike, you can deal 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage, instead of the normal damage for an unarmed strike. Additionally, your unarmed strikes deal double damage to objects and structures.

***Integrated Armament.*** Over the course of a long rest, you may integrate a weapon or shield, with which you are proficient, into your body, leaving you prepared for combat at all times. If you choose to integrate a weapon, it must lack the two-handed and special properties. As a bonus action, you can extend or retract this Integrated Armament from your body and, while extended, you cannot be disarmed of it.

#### Scribe

Originally designed as scholarly assistants to once powerful mages, Scribe-Class Warforged have since picked up a vast degree of arcane knowledge from their unique proximity to such advanced forms of arcana.

Although not all Scribe's learn to harness the more advanced methods of arcane spellcraft, they all hold an endless fascination with the many magics of this world and will do most anything to add to their current knowledges.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Intelligence score increases by 1.

***Scholarly Construction.*** You have proficiency in the Arcana skill. Additionally, you may integrate a spellcasting focus or component pouch into your body. When casting spells with this arcane focus, you do not need a free hand.

***Arcane Core.*** You can harness the magics of your arcane core to empower those that are gifted in the ways of magic. As an action, you can touch a creature other than yourself, allowing them to regain one spell slot of a level equal to half your Proficiency Bonus (Rounded down). Once you use this trait, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

***Scholar's Magic.*** You know one cantrip from the wizard spell list. Starting at 3rd level, you learn the identify spell and can cast it once with this trait. Starting at 5th level, you also learn the arcane lock spell and can cast it once with this trait. Once you cast either spell with this trait, you can't cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

\pagebreakNum

#### Skirmisher

Constructed after the naturally lithe and dexterous build of the Elves, Skirmisher-Class Warforged are the natural byproduct of the prolonged state of anxiety that comes hand in hand with times of war.

Artificially designed as scouts and spies, Skirmishers are outfitted with any number of subterfuge capabilities from integrated lockpicks to a fully realized facial reconstruction that may allow them to blend in with the masses.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Dexterity score increases by 1.

***Low-Light Vision.*** You have superior vision in dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light.

***Skirmisher's Integration.*** When selecting a type of artisan's tool to benefit from your Integrated Tool trait, you may instead choose an item from the following list: a Disguise Kit, Forgery Kit, or set of Thieve's Tools.

Additionally, over the course of a long rest, you may integrate up to two weapons, with which you are proficient, into your body. These weapons must have the light property. As a bonus action, you can extend or retract one or both of these integrated weapons from your body and, while extended, you cannot be disarmed of it.

\columnbreak

#### Surveyor

Despite the commonly held belief that the very existence of such artificially constructed consciousnesses are antithetical to the natural world, Surveyor-Class Warforged relish in their knowledge of, and innate disposition towards, the natural world and all it has to offer.

Usually composed of more organic materials than most other Warforged, Surveyors act as explorers and wardens of a world they are so innately distanced from. Still, as they say, this natural opposition of forces has created a sense of fixation and wonderment for their artificial minds.

***Ability Score Increase.*** Your Wisdom score increases by 1.

***Surveyor's Recall.*** You always know which direction is north, and you have advantage on any Wisdom (Survival) check you make to navigate or track.

***Exploratory Integration.*** When selecting a tool for your Integrated Tool trait, you may instead choose to integrate one of the following tools into your systems: Herbalism Kit, Navigator's Tools, or Poisoner's Kit.

***Designated Explorer.*** You have a climbing speed of 30 feet and, whenever you make a long jump or a high jump, you can increase the number of feet you cover by a number equal to twice your Proficiency Bonus, even when making a standing jump. This extra distance costs movement as usual.
