Foreword
I came up with the idea for this book after being downright disappointed with Volo’s Guide to Everything. Including a hefty amount
of lore for monstrous races, such as Gnolls, but having no details on making them playable. So here we are, a player’s handbook
that allows DMs and players to craft player characters and unforgettable NPCs from monsters across all editions of Dungeons and
Dragons. Some of these races you may or may not have heard of, but each one is a real creature in Dungeons and Dragons, along
with some extra I made over the past two years, as of writing this book. The goal for Aloysius' Guide to Social Acceptance is to
grant the reader an array of options to play a character from a variety of monstrous races. Some of these options may or may not
work for you. This will depend on your campaign’s setting, story, or overall biases. Believe me this book is a testament to that, and
that’s perfectly fine. Maybe you’ll find a use for some of these options, or maybe change up how a race works to fit your game’s
setting better, which I highly encourage. Afterall, the point of all this is to have fun.

Aloysius "The Monster Therapist"

S
o that I may never forget who or where I came
from, I took it upon myself to write this as part of
my previous life has become muddled. I do not
know what my name was before this all began,
but I am known as Aloysius a Kobold aptly from
the Kobold Mountains just south west of the main
continent of Faerun. I was once a cowardly and
rather stereotypical sort of Kobold, living by whatever scraps
I could take and slinking in the shadows to wait for fortune to
favor me. I also know that my fortune was not meant to last
as I died to a ball of fire slung by some mage. As darkness
claimed me I could only see a silhouette of what appeared to
be some sort of elf in royal garb and bandages, possessing a
sceptre made of gnarled black oak. When I closed my eyes
and felt my body succumb to the weight of my pain I heard
ravens surround me as clear as day. I was unable to move, but
I found myself in a dark field and a starless sky above me,
murders of ravens staring down at my corpse. It was there I
saw her, a lithe dark skinned elven woman in dark blue garb
looming over me as if she was the darkness herself.
She regarded herself as the Raven Queen, death itself who
had offered me a deal. My situation was not unlike many
others before me, barely used life spent being spilled for
others to find benefit. She would grant me back my life and
power on one condition, to find other creatures and races
seen as “Monsters” , grant them aid and gather momentos of
my time with them. The Raven Queen adores memories and
keepsakes and saw my case fit to be a way to obtain less than
common relics and treasures from what most of her
followers offer her. I accepted her offer and I was revived, my
scales pale and a newfound font of knowledge and
understanding flowing through my mind, knowledge I know I
did not possess before my first death.
It has been years since I last returned to the Kobold
Mountains, but with the Raven Queen’s guidance I find myself
on the mainland of Faerun, south of the City of Waterdeep
tending to a town’s temple dedicated to her name. With the
help of my fellow brothers and sisters of the church I gained a
small reputation as a mind mending cleric to less socially
accepted races, even gaining the title of “The Monster
Therapist”. This book is to be a record of the various folks I
have helped, bring peace to their souls where others would
simply place a sword in their flesh. The Raven Queen has
given me purpose, and I shall do right by her, by extending a
hand to those who could possibly meet the same grim fate as
I had befallen to. May this tome act as a proof of tithe to her
Majesty.

 Abeil: Princess Chrysanthemum
Most of my colleagues within the church are elves, primarily Shadar Kai as they have an attachment to the Shadowfell. It would be
mean spirited to claim they lack a sort of personality spark most other elves would sport, but I would be fooling myself. That
sometimes even within a church devoted to the Raven Queen, morale seems... bleak and low. At the request of my congregation
about making our church a little more “personable'', I had remembered an upcoming festival was approaching. During the early
Spring months, our church is often visited by Eladrin who are passing through the city on a pilgrimage, to festivals out in the
forests further inland. When the inn is low on vacancy, we open our doors for these travelers when we can spare the space. One
Eladrin fellow seemed oddly ecstatic to our hospitality as he claimed that the somewhat oppressive atmosphere would keep him
safe from someone following him and that this person would dare not follow him into a church of all places. It was none of my
business to probe who was causing this distress, so I asked that he respect our ground rules for his duration here. He happily
obliged with a sort of relief to his voice when I spoke of rules most would claim is outside of the spirit of the Eladrin festivities.
That evening I awoke to the sound of loud thumping noises outside my chambers, upon opening the door, the scent of flowers
wafted down the hallway and led into the residential quarters. Angered by the idea our guest may have invited some night time
activities that compromised our agreement of ground rules, I hastened my pace. However this came to a stealthy walk as the
sounds of insect-like droning could be heard in the distance and only grew louder as I reached the source of the smell that came
from our guest’s room. Opening the door I spotted our guest dodging the advances of what appeared to be another elven woman,
however her skin was an odd pale yellow with black patterns. Stranger was still, her spine sprouted thin insect-like wings and an
insect-like stinger at the base of her tailbone. Demanding an explanation, the female floated towards me proclaiming I show
respect for a “Princess of the Feywild” in the process of courtship and that I keep my lowly lizard nose out of her affairs. I bashed
the little harlot over the head with my staff and she hit the floor like a sack of onions. The two troublemakers will be separated and
detained until the morning, once I have my answers for this breach of church conduct, I’m throwing the two out into the street to
settle their lover’s squabbling elsewhere. I refuse to have this holy ground become a place of debauchery.

Pathagore's excitment in following my advice, what I found
surprising is that he had very little customers or interactions
with folks willing to speak to a Chitine. I had requested some
of my colleagues in the church allow themselves to be testers

 Cloaker: Swathe

T
he Ravens came early this morning to tell me that I would be expecting a new client this evening, however I have not
had any clients appear today. The only thing I received was a parcel from a funeral director. I was asked to perform
rites for a professor of a Wizard's College from Waterdeep weeks ago. The parcel was a very vibrant shimmering
cloak that despite appearing too large for me, fits snug around my throat, back and tail. I assume it's some kind of
magic that grants the cloak this high level of comfort, though what seems redundant to me was the message with
the cloak. The funeral director stated he was very pleased to be rid of such a "clingy attachment".

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

with your wings, your flight speed is reduced to 0, the target is blinded, silenced and will suffocate unless you choose to let it
breathe. While grappling a target with your tail, you retain your flight speed and the grappled target takes 1d4 Bludgeoning
damage + Strength at the start of its turn.
While grappling a target with your wings or tail you can spend a bonus action to apply the effects of grappling with both your
wings and tail until the start of your next turn. Your flight is reduced to 0 and the target has disadvantage to escape your grapple.
Damage Transfer. While grappling a creature, as a reaction to taking damage you instead take half damage dealt to you
rounded down and your grappled target takes the other half.

Gargoyle: Hours

while pondering this, the Raven Queen was tickled pink to
inform me of obtaining the soul of a creature whose natural
life can stand the test of time. Guardians of secrets and
towers, keepers of treasures and knowledge, Gargoyles
meeting a natural end almost seems paradoxical unless felled
by the stray adventurer or smashed to pieces by some
lumbering manner of flesh slab. Even stranger, that a
creature such as a Gargoyle would be sent off with the rites
of a funeral. While pessimistic in believing this was merely
the work of a wizard with a personal attachment for their
favorite stone bodyguard, I was nevertheless stalwart in
fulfilling my given duty to investigate how a Gargoyle’s soul
was celebrated off to the afterlife. Following rumors to grand
cities filled with arcane knowledge, I was told of a realm
where the lifeless mimic the ways of mortal civilization. A
place where the earth meets the sky, almost mirroring towers
of stone where constructs and elementals soar the inverted
skies and use their tallest spires as gateways to peer into our
version of reality to observe and learn from us.

would be because of a giant hyena humanoid barking and
flashing his teeth in folk’s face with nary a regard for person

saying the raven’s voice spoke of my ability to help this man
become more tolerable and less offensive around other races.
With a heavy sigh I asked him for his name, he proudly
proclaimed himself as “Crunge Flemm-Skul”, when I asked
for his real name he told me his name was “Slapssnot
Farthhaurd the Tuurd”. I waited with a scowl for the proper
answer to my question to present itself, but the silence that
followed was so deafening I could hear the souls of the dead
whisper in my ears. This case will require more wine and
herbal toke and from a look at my personal records, Mr.
Flemm-Skul’s case had required about five platinum's worth.
Mr Flemm-Skul’s case is an on-going process, he is making
strides in learning to command his “inside voice” while in the
presence of others. I do wish however he did not find it
necessary to use the church for his concerts, even if it does
grant a fair bit of coin to the church, my loss of sleep is
inexcusable. I have also begun enacting disciplinary
measures on all staff members of the church for every time
they use the word “Crunge” as a verb in my presence.

Gremlin: Circuit-Breaker

S
ome of my clients are victims of abuse, psychosis, self discovery, loss, pain and all other manner of trauma be it
physical or mental. Then there are cases that are ever so juvenile, self imposed idiocy, or a clear case of a
misunderstanding gone horribly wrong. While these cases verge from annoying to mildly concerning, if left unchecked
some results can have grim endings leaving folks to wonder what could have changed to prevent tragedy. As the
humans say, “It’s all fun and games, until somebody gets hurt.”
In recent days I’ve commissioned a well known artist to sculpt a new statue for our church, our original one was
destroyed in an Orc raid and morale has been quite low without seeing the grand and beloved depiction of the Raven
Queen before entering upon holy ground. A gesture I believe to inspire passersby to perhaps seek rest and divine counsel among
our halls, surely a task with fair compensation created by a master craftsmen Gnome would be a small feat. Which is what I would
have believed if deadline by deadline the artist would be making slow progress on the statue, by the third extra payment to
expedite the process I had had enough and visited the Gnome’s abode to get to the bottom of his lackadaisical responsibility. The
artist was by no means living modestly, their home was multiple stories with more comforts then anyone in his profession should
have, surely this was just the work of someone who felt it necessary to copper and silver the church for all it had to offer. Though
the artist had a look of great distress about them when questioned, they stated that work has been slow because he had fired a
previous assistant and fears they may be stealing materials and breaking tools needed to complete the statue. I had a few of the
church’s inquisitors assist me in finding the previous assistant and keeping our artist friend safe, but in actuality I simply wished
for someone to oversee the work process.
My colleagues and I had discovered a small hovel near the artist’s house with bits and pieces of artisan tools, metal bits, and
pieces of cut stone leading towards it. Upon investigation we had found a stache of objects the artist had claimed were missing,
along with what appeared to be an iron golem that had assumed the form of the artist. Whoever the culprit was had a fascination
with the Gnome. Returning to the house in a panic for the artist’s life, our clergymen were able to catch the thief, a blue skinned
Goblin looking female ready to filch pieces of the statue to complete her golem. Investigating the stolen objects on her person I
had found a scribbled letter, before I could explain that her feelings for the artist were that of a schoolyard romance, she had
escaped her metal shackles with miraculous grace and we had to give chase to apprehend her once more.

Notes from Salima: Gremlin

Gremlins are destructive, chaotic, and irritable Goblinoids
and I do not mean this in a derogatory way. Gremlin nature is
derived from their ancestors, who were Goblin slaves in the
beginning and due to magical corruption they have
transformed into the creatures we know today. The purpose
of this transformation was to weaponize small creatures that
would cause chaos amongst the inner workings of enemy
strongholds, destruction is written in their blood and whether
malicious or not, they must abide by this nature. Their
appetite for destruction does grant them uncanny insight to
the inner workings of magical and mundane mechanics,
granting them savant-like ability to craft, tinker and modify
nearly any piece of equipment. There is an art to destruction
and Gremlins are masters of such craft.

Notes from Salima: Hengeyokai
While most Hengeyokai found in Faerun are the result of
Spirit and Mortal love made union, the origins of the
Hengeyokai stem from the Feywild as wild animal spirits. The
Hengeyokai are given the ability to transform into animals or
humanoids but tend to remain to their animalistic natures
living in societies away from other intelligent life. Their
behaviors and societal norms are often dictated by the animal
their spirits had taken form as, but have no issue with
integrating with Human societies. These kinds of Yokai are
limitless as nearly any animal that has fey or spirit-like
powers could very well be one in disguise, but an act of
kindness can go incredibly far to gain a Hengeyokai’s favor.

 With some interrogation we learned that the cult was
trying to murder a brass dragon displaced from its
homelands in search of a new nesting ground. I was offered
more gold that the church could use so I joined this merry
band of murdering nitwits to find the last known location of
the Brass Dragon. We found the corpse of a female brass
dragon along with charred landscaping near the body, finding
the use of flame to take down a dragon we took to
investigating, only to discover a small creature had made
various trips back and forth to the corpse. It was here where
we discovered Mrs Krrasssh, she had taken a clutch of brass
dragon wyrmlings to a location in some wasteland, we took
our stance for battle as Mrs Krrasssh readied her weapon.
Before we struck, I had to cast a spell to incapacitate my
comrades and had pleaded for a more diplomatic approach,
though my comrades were in no position to stop me. We
spent our time calming down Mr Krrasssh and escorting her
and the wyrmlings back to the city for proper care. However
my companions called me a traitor the rest of the way,
believing I was a spy for the Tiamat cultists. I was arrested,
questioned and detainted in the city’s prisons until inquisitors
from Waterdeep came round and found me innocent. My
reputation was placed in low regard and I often am leered at

incapable of speaking. If your Worg is killed, you can spend 8
hours casting a ritual spell to return them from the dead.
Worg Magic
Beginning at 7th level, your Worg's bite attack is now
considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance
and immunity to non magical attacks and damage.
Additionally your Worg is capable of casting any spell from
your spell list that has verbal and material components. Any
spells cast by your Worg use your spell slots and materials,
even if the Worg does not possess the materials on its person.
