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

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.
Common Races Description
Bold and hardy, Dwarves are known as skilled warriors, miners, and workers of stone and metal. Though they
Dwarves 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 are a magical people of otherworldly grace, living in the world but not entirely part of it. They live in
Elves 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.
Gnomes take delight in life, enjoying every moment of invention, exploration, investigation, creation, and
Gnomes
play. A Gnome's energy and enthusiasm for living shines through every inch of his or her tiny body.
Few folk can claim to have seen a Goliath, and fewer still can claim friendship with one. Goliaths wander a
Goliaths bleak realm of rock, wind, and cold. Their bodies look as if they are carved from mountain stone and give
them great physical power.
Walking between the ambitious world of the Human and the traditional world of the Dwarf, Half-Dwarves are
Half-Dwarves 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.
Walking in two worlds but truly belonging to neither, Half-Elves combine what some say are the best
Half-Elves 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-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
Half-Orcs
more civilized races. Many of these become adventurers, achieving greatness for their mighty deeds and
notoriety for their barbaric customs and savage fury.
The diminutive Halflings survive in a world full of larger creatures by avoiding notice or, barring that, avoiding
Halflings 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 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
Humans 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.
INCREASING FLU

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

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%).

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.

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

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

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.

SUNLIGHT SENSITIVITY. YOUR AFFINITY FOR THE DEPTHS HAS LEFT YOU VULNERABLE WHEN TRAVELING THE SURFACE WORLD. YOU HAVE A -2 TO
ATTACK ROLLS, SPELL 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.

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.

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
Page 10 of 149
:
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

Wood Elves
OFTEN REFERRED TO AS WILD ELVES, THE WOOD ELVES STAND A STEP CLOSER TO THE WORLD OF THE FEY THAN THEIR KIN, GIVING THEM MORE PRIMAL

THAN THE OTHER ELVEN RACES, HAVING NO TRUE DESIRE TO EXPLORE THE LIKES OF MANKIND'S NEWFOUND ROLE IN THIS WORLD.

Sea Elves
MANY YEARS AGO, THE ANCIENT ELVEN TRIBES NOW KNOWN AS THE SEA ELVES FELL IN LOVE WITH THE VAST BEAUTY OF THE OCEAN.
WHILE OTHER ELVES TRAVELED FROM REALM TO REALM, SEA ELVES NAVIGATED THE DEEPEST CURRENTS AND EXPLORED THE WATERS ACROSS A
HUNDRED WORLDS. TODAY, THEY LIVE IN SMALL, HIDDEN COMMUNITIES IN THE OCEAN SHALLOWS AND ON THE ELEMENTAL PLANE OF WATER.

LANGUAGES. YOU CAN SPEAK, READ, AND WRITE COMMON AND GNOMISH. THE GNOMISH LANGUAGE, WHICH USES THE DWARVISH SCRIPT, IS
RENOWNED FOR ITS TECHNICAL TREATISES AND ITS CATALOGS OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE NATURAL WORLD.
SUBRACE. THERE EXIST THREE SUBRACES OF GNOMES IN THE WORLD: FOREST GNOMES, ROCK GNOMES, AND DEEP GNOMES.
Forest Gnomes
FOREST GNOMES ARE RARE AND SECRETIVE. THEY GATHER IN HIDDEN COMMUNITIES IN SYLVAN FORESTS, USING ILLUSIONS AND TRICKERY TO CONCEAL
THEMSELVES FROM THREATS OR TO MASK THEIR ESCAPE SHOULD THEY BE DETECTED.
TENDING TO BE FRIENDLY WITH OTHER GOOD-SPIRITED WOODLAND FOLK, FOREST GNOMES OFTEN REGARD ELVES AND GOOD FEY AS THEIR MOST

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

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. CLAN NAMES ARE FIVE SYLLABLES OR MORE AND END IN A
VOWEL.
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 NOTABLE DEEDS.

Goliath Traits
GOLIATHS OF ALL TRIBES SHARE THEIR MASSIVE STATURE AND HEARTY BUILD, THOUGH EACH TRIBE VASTLY DIFFERS FROM THE OTHERS.
AGE. GOLIATHS HAVE LIFESPANS COMPARABLE TO HUMANS. THEY ENTER ADULTHOOD IN THEIR LATE TEENS AND USUALLY LIVE LESS THAN A
CENTURY.
SIZE. GOLIATHS ARE BETWEEN 7 AND 8 FEET TALL AND WEIGH BETWEEN 280 AND 340 POUNDS. YOUR SIZE IS MEDIUM.
RUNIC SIGHT. YOU HAVE ADVANTAGE ON ALL ABILITY CHECKS MADE TO UNCOVER OR DECIPHER MAGICAL RUNES.
LITTLE GIANT. YOU HAVE PROFICIENCY IN THE ATHLETICS SKILL, AND YOU COUNT AS ONE SIZE LARGER WHEN DETERMINING YOUR CARRYING WEIGHT
AND THE WEIGHT YOU CAN PUSH, DRAG, OR LIFT.
ORAL HISTORIANS. ALTHOUGH YOUR PEOPLE ARE NOT ALWAYS THE MOST LEARNED, YOUR ORAL HISTORIES ARE VAST AND EVER-EXPANDING. WHEN
MAKING AN INTELLIGENCE (HISTORY) CHECK, YOU MAY INSTEAD MAKE A WISDOM (HISTORY) 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.
LANGUAGES. YOU CAN SPEAK, READ, AND WRITE COMMON, AND GIANT.
SUBRACE. GOLIATHTS STEM FROM FOUR SUBRACES FORMED OF FOUR ANCIANT TRIBES DEVOTED TO THE ELEMENTS: THE FLAMEBORN, THE
FROSTBORN, THE STONEBORN, AND THE STORMBORN.
Flameborn
AS MASTERFUL CRAFTSMEN, FLAMEBORN GOLIATHS FIND THE GREATEST SENSE OF INSPIRATION FROM THE ELEMENTS THEMSELVES.
LIVING IN THE MOST VOLATILE ENVIRONMENTS THIS WORLD HAS TO OFFER, THEY TRAVERSE THIS WORLD IN SEARCH OF THEIR NEXT PRIMEVAL
INSPIRATION. FROM TRAVERSING THE SEVEN SEAS TO CLIMBING THE HIGHEST OF MOUNTAINS, THEY BELIEVE THAT EXPLORATION IS THE KEY TO
UNLOCKING THE SECRETS OF THE FORGE.
HEART OF THE FORGE. YOU HAVE PROFICIENCY WITH LIGHT ARMOR, MEDIUM ARMOR, AND SMITH'S TOOLS.
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.
FIRE'S LIGHT. YOU CAN CALL UPON THE SEARING HEAT OF THE FLAME TO SCORCH THOSE THAT DARE DEFY YOU. 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.
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.

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.

FINE ARTISAN.
Half-Dwarves WOODCARVER'S TOO
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.

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.

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

HALF-ORCS' BROWNISH, REDISH, OR GRAYISH PIGMENTATION, SLOPING FOREHEADS, JUTTING JAWS, PROMINENT TEETH, AND TOWERING BUILDS MAKE

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 ADAPTABLE AND 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 GREAT KINGDOMS THAT CAN PERSIST FOR LONG CENTURIES.

Monstrous Races Description
Neither bugs nor bears, Bugbears are the hulking cousins of Goblins and Hobgoblins. With roots in the
Bugbears Feywild, they still bear a fey gift for lurking just out of sight, and many of them have since snuck away from
the influence of their fey brethren.
Goblins are conniving, self-serving, and fierce beings. They are quick to run when they cannot see a way to
Goblins win, finding it better to give up and spend their energy on something else or at least try again once they
have a better plan.
Hobgoblins trace their origins to the ancient courts of the Feywild, where many of them were drawn from
Hobgoblins by the conquering god Maglubiyet, who quickly marshaled them as soldiers. Still, the fey realm left its mark;
creating a mystical bond between the the Hobgoblin people and those they find themselves allied with.
Kobolds are meticulous creatures with sorcery in their blood, a variety of reptile with a strong work ethic.
Kobolds 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.
Stuck between honor and savagery, Orcs are a complicated and mostly misunderstood race that always
Orcs lingers on the edge between noble barbarians and wild savages. Orc society is tribal by nature, rich with
traditions, honorable, yet wild and untamed.
Yuan-ti were originally Humans who transformed themselves into serpent folk through ancient rituals. Most
Yuan-Ti Yuan-Ti were corrupted into monsters by those rites, but some instead became a new people who mix
characteristics of Humans and snakes.

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,

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

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.

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

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.

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

Hobgoblin ALWAYS ANSWERED
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.

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.

KOBOLD SOCIETY IS SPLIT INTO WORKERS AND EXPERTS, THE VAST MAJORITY BEING WORKERS AND ONLY A FEW BECOME EXPERTS. DESPITE HAVING THE ONLY EXPERTS

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.
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.
Draconic Ancestry
Draconic Color Damage Type
Copper, Green, or Emerald Poison
Iron, Black, or Amethyst Acid
Cobalt, Blue, or Sapphire Lightning or Thunder
Silver, White, or Diamond Cold
Gold, Red, or Ruby Fire
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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
SUPERIOR DARKVISION. ACCUSTOMED TO LIFE UNDERGROUND, YOU HAVE SUPERIOR VISION IN DARK AND DIM CONDITIONS. YOU CAN SEE IN DIM

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.

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 VIEW THEIR PHYSICAL TRANSFORMATION AS A MOMENT OF TRANSCENDENCE FOR THEIR RACE, ALLOWING THEM TO SHED THEIR FRAIL

Beastial Races Description
The resemblance of Aarakocra to birds isn't limited to physical features. Aarakocra display many of the same
Aarakocra mannerisms of ordinary birds. They are dastidious about their plumage, frequently tending their feathers,
cleaning and scratching away any tiny passengers they may have collected.
Centaur come in many different forms, and live in many different places- from secluded forests and great
Centaurs 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.
Uninterested and unwelcome, the Gnolls live their lives outside civilized settlements. Some wander the world
Gnolls
in search of purpose while others succumb to their innate savagery granted by their dark god.
Harengons originated in the Feywild, where they spoke Sylvan and embodied the spirit of freedom and travel.
Harengon In time, these rabbitfolk hopped into other worlds, bringing the fey realm's exuberance with them and learning
new languages as they went.
Haunted by an ancient crime that robbed them of their wings, the Kenku wander the world as vagabonds and
Kenku 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.
Only a fool looks at the Lizardfolk and sees nothing more than scaly humanoids. Despite their alien outlook,
Lizardfolk some Lizardfolk make an effort to understand and, in their own manner, befriend people of other races. Such
Lizardfolk make faithful and skilled allies.
Born into the world by forbidden rites that melded powerful horned beasts with the intelligence of civilized
Minotaurs species, the race of Minotaurs is proud and domineering, assured of their superiority over lesser, merely
natural races.
The humanoid elephants called Pachydan are often oases of calm in the busy streets of Alyria, as they hum or
Pachydan chant in sonorous tones and move slowly or sit in perfect stillness. Their serene wisdom, fierce loyalty, and
unwavering conviction are tremendous assets to their people.
Hailing from a strange and distant land, wandering Tabaxi are catlike humanoids driven by curiosity to collect
Tabaxi
interesting artifacts, gather tales and stories, and lay eyes on all the world's wonders.
Tortles are nomads from a young age, wandering the world to gather experience. This experience they later
Tortles
share with their offspring, giving them a headstart at life.
Though many see the Ursurai as intelligent bears, there are many differences between the Ursurai and their
Ursurai 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.

Aarakocra
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

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.

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

:
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.

DARKVISION. YOU HAVE KEEN EYES, ESPECIALLY IN THE DARK. 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.
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.

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.
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.

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.
52
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.
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)

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.

Gnoll
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.

MOST HARENGON TRIBES MOVE AROUND OFTEN, ONLY STAYING IN A LOCATION FOR A FEW MONTHS AT A TIME. THE ONLY TRIBES THAT STAY FOR

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.

HAUNTED BY AN ANCIENT CRIME THAT ROBBED THEM OF THEIR WINGS, THE KENKU WANDER THE WORLD AS VAGABONDS AND BURGLARS WHO LIVE AT KENKU ADVENTU
THE EDGE OF HUMAN SOCIETY. KENKU SUFFER FROM A SINISTER REPUTATION THAT IS NOT WHOLLY UNEARNED, BUT THEY CAN PROVE TO BE VALUABLE KENKU LOVES TO M
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.

ONLY A FOOL LOOKS AT THE LIZARDFOLK AND SEES NOTHING MORE THAN SCALY HUMANOIDS. THEIR PHYSICAL SHAPE NOTWITHSTANDING, LIZARDFOLK

DESPITE THEIR ALIEN OUTLOOK, SOME LIZARDFOLK MAKE AN EFFORT TO UNDERSTAND AND, IN THEIR OWN MANNER, BEFRIEND PEOPLE OF OTHER

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.

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.
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.

ADDITIONALLY, WHEN YOU MAKE A MELEE ATTACK ON YOUR TURN, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO INCREASE YOUR REACH BY 5 FEET UNTIL THE END OF YOUR

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.
69
Pachydan Traits
YOUR PACHYDAN CHARACTER HAS THE FOLLOWING RACIAL TRAITS.
AGE. PACHYDAN PHYSICALLY MATURE AT THE SAME RATE AS HUMANS, BUT THEY LIVE ABOUT 450 YEARS. THEY HIGHLY VALUE THE WEIGHT OF
WISDOM AND EXPERIENCE AND ARE CONSIDERED YOUNG UNTIL THEY REACH THE AGE OF 60.
SIZE. PACHYDAN STAND BETWEEN 7 AND 8 FEET TALL. THEIR MASSIVE BODIES WEIGH BETWEEN 400 AND 500 POUNDS. YOUR SIZE IS MEDIUM.
LIGHT.
POWERFUL BUILD. YOU COUNT AS ONE SIZE LARGER WHEN DETERMINING YOUR CARRYING CAPACITY AND THE WEIGHT YOU CAN PUSH, DRAG, OR
LIFT.
KEEN SENSES. THANKS TO YOUR SENSITIVE TRUNK AND EARS, YOU HAVE ADVANTAGE ON WISDOM (PERCEPTION), WISDOM (SURVIVAL), AND
INTELLIGENCE (INVESTIGATION) CHECKS THAT INVOLVE SMELL OR HEARING.
NATURAL ARMOR. YOU HAVE THICK, LEATHERY SKIN. WHEN YOU AREN'T WEARING ARMOR, YOUR AC IS 12 + YOUR CONSTITUTION 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.
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.
Page 74 of 149

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

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
72
d8
THESE TABAXI WORK IN SMALL TROUPES, USUALLY CONSISTING OF AN ELDER, MORE EXPERIENCED TABAXI WHO GUIDES UP TO FOUR YOUNG ONES 1
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 2
PUBLIC SQUARE WHERE THEY SING, PLAY INSTRUMENTS, TELL STORIES, AND OFFER EXOTIC GOODS IN TRADE FOR ITEMS THAT SPARK THEIR INTEREST. 3
TABAXI RELUCTANTLY ACCEPT GOLD, BUT THEY MUCH PREFER INTERESTING OBJECTS OR PIECES OF LORE AS PAYMENT. THESE WANDERERS KEEP TO
4
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 5
SELL OR TRADE IT. 6
Tabaxi Names 7
EACH TABAXI HAS A SINGLE NAME, DETERMINED BY CLAN AND BASED ON A COMPLEX FORMULA THAT INVOLVES ASTROLOGY, PROPHECY, CLAN HISTORY, 8
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.

Tabaxi Traits
YOUR TABAXI CHARACTER HAS THE FOLLOWING RACIAL TRAITS.
AGE. TABAXI HAVE LIFESPANS EQUIVALENT TO HUMANS.
SIZE. TABAXI ARE TALLER ON AVERAGE THAN HUMANS AND RELATIVELY SLENDER. YOUR SIZE IS MEDIUM.
DARKVISION. YOU HAVE A CAT'S KEEN SENSES, ESPECIALLY IN THE DARK. 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.
CAT'S CLAWS. YOUR CLAWS ARE NATURAL WEAPONS, WHICH YOU CAN USE TO MAKE UNARMED STRIKES. YOU CAN USE DEXTERITY INSTEAD OF
STRENGTH FOR THE ATTACK AND DAMAGE ROLLS WHEN USING YOUR CLAWS. 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.
CUNNING MERCHANT. YOU HAVE PROFICIENCY IN YOUR CHOICE OF ONE OF THE FOLLOWING ARTISAN’S TOOLS: BREWER'S SUPPLIES, GLASSBLOWER'S
TOOLS, LEATHERWORKER'S TOOLS, WEAVER’S TOOLS, OR WOODCARVER’S TOOLS.
ADDITIONALLY, WHENEVER YOU MAKE A CHARISMA CHECK TO BUY, SELL, OR DISPLAY AN ITEM MADE WITH ONE OF YOUR CHOSEN ARTISAN’S TOOLS,
YOU ARE CONSIDERED PROFICIENT IN THE GIVEN CHECK. IF YOU ARE ALREADY PROFICIENT IN THE GIVEN SKILL, YOU MAY INSTEAD ADD DOUBLE YOUR
PROFICIENCY BONUS TO THE CHECK.
FELINE AGILITY. YOUR REFLEXES AND AGILITY ALLOW YOU TO MOVE WITH A BURST OF SPEED. WHEN YOU MOVE ON YOUR TURN, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO
MOVE UP TO TWICE YOUR WALKING SPEED INSTEAD. ONCE YOU USE THIS TRAIT, YOU CAN'T USE IT AGAIN UNTIL YOU MOVE 0 FEET ON ONE OF YOUR
TURNS.
LANGUAGES. YOU CAN SPEAK, READ, AND WRITE COMMON AND ONE ADDITIONAL LANGUAGE OF YOUR CHOICE.
SUBRACE. AKIN TO THEIR FELINE COUNTERPARTS, TABAXI COME IN MANY SHAPES AND SIZES WHICH ARE EXPRESSED THROUGH THEIR FOUR
SUBRACES: THE KATARI, THE LEORIN, THE SJORI, AND THERIN.
Katari
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.
WITH THEIR NIMBLE FINGERS AND AFFINITY FOR ALL THINGS SHINY, KATARI ARE KNOWN TO LET THEIR CURIOSITY GET THE BEST OF THEM WHEN

WARRIOR’S BUILD. YOU HAVE PROFICIENCY IN THE ATHLETICS SKILL AND YOU COUNT AS ONE SIZE LARGER WHEN DETERMINING YOUR CARRYING
CAPACITY AND THE WEIGHT YOU CAN PUSH, DRAG, OR LIFT.
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.
LONG REST.

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
SJORI TRIBES ARE KNOWN TO BE CENTERS OF KNOWLEDGE THAT SCHOLARS TRAVEL TO IN ORDER TO EXCHANGE TEXTS. KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR AFFINITY
FOR THE WRITTEN WORD HAS CAUSED THE FEW SJORI THAT DO LEAVE THEIR HOMES TO BE WELCOMED WITH OPEN ARMS AMONGST THE LIKES OF
SCHOLARS AND POETS ALIKE.
ALPINE HUNTERS. YOU HAVE RESISTANCE TO COLD DAMAGE. YOU ALSO NATURALLY ACCLIMATE TO HIGH ALTITUDES, EVEN IF YOU'VE NEVER BEEN TO
ONE. THIS INCLUDES ELEVATIONS ABOVE 20,000 FEET.
MOUNTAIN STALKER. WHEN YOU USE YOUR FELINE AGILITY TRAIT, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DOUBLE YOUR JUMP DISTANCE INSTEAD OF YOUR WALKING
SPEED. WHEN USED IN THIS WAY, YOU HAVE ADVANTAGE ON ANY DEXTERITY (ACROBATICS) OR STRENGTH (ATHLETICS) CHECKS MADE TO CLIMB,
JUMP, OR MANEUVER THROUGH DIFFICULT TERRAIN.
POUNCE. WHEN USING YOUR FELINE AGILITY TRAIT TO JUMP MORE THAN 15 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 LEAPING FROM AT LEAST 10 FEET ABOVE YOUR TARGET.
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 KNOCKED PRONE. 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.
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.
JUNGLE STALKER. WHEN USING YOUR FELINE AGILITY TRAIT, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO DOUBLE YOUR CLIMBING SPEED INSTEAD OF YOUR WALKING
SPEED. WHEN USED IN THIS WAY, YOU CAN ATTEMPT TO HIDE EVEN WHEN YOU ARE ONLY LIGHTLY OBSCURED BY FOLIAGE, HEAVY RAIN, FALLING SNOW,
MIST, AND OTHER NATURAL PHENOMENA.
DEATH FROM ABOVE. WHILE CLIMBING, YOU CAN USE YOUR BONUS ACTION TO LEAP DOWN ON TO A HOSTILE CREATURE YOU CAN SEE OR HEAR
THAT IS AT LEAST 30 FEET BELOW YOU IN ORDER TO TAKE A SPECIAL ATTACK WITH YOUR CLAWS.
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 KNOCKED PRONE. IF YOU ARE
HIDDEN FROM YOUR TARGET WHEN DEALING DAMAGE IN THIS WAY, THE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE DEALT BY THIS TRAIT 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.

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.
76
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
Page 81 of 149
:
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.
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.
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.
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 BASE 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.

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.
OCEANIC TRAVELER. YOU HAVE PROFICIENCY IN THE ATHLETICS SKILL, NAVIGATOR'S TOOLS, AND WATER VEHICLES.

DARKVISION. ACCUSTOMED TO THE DEPTHS OF THE OCEANS, YOU HAVE SUPERIOR VISION IN DARK AND DIM CONDITIONS. YOU CAN SEE IN DIM
SHADES OF GRAY.
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.
SWAMP DWELLER. YOU HAVE A SWIMMING SPEED EQUAL TO YOUR WALKING SPEED AND YOU CAN HOLD YOUR BREATH FOR A NUMBER OF HOURS

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.

Exotic Races Description
Descendants from Humans with a touch of the power of Mount Celestia, the divine realm of many lawful good
Aasimar 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.
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
Arboreans
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 are natural shapechangers, who are sometimes the offspring of individuals that have in some way
Changelings 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.
Born of dragons, as their name proclaims, the Dragonborn walk proudly through a world that greets them with
Dragonborn 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 are Elves of the Feywild, a realm of perilous beauty and boundless magic. Using that magic, Eladrin can
Eladrin 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.
The Feywild is home to many fantastic peoples, including fairies. Fairies are a wee folk, but not nearly as much
Fairies 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.
As caretakers of the land, Firbolgs prefer to remain out of sight and out of mind. They don't try to dominate
Firbolgs 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 inherit something from both sides of their dual nature. They resemble Humans but have unusual skin
Genasi 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.
Inspired by the great leader for whom the race is named, the Gith rose up to overthrow the mind flayers that
Gith held them in servitude. But after they won their freedom, two factions among the Gith disagreed on what kind
of civilization they would forge.
A race with fey origin, these goatmen and women try to experience life to the fullest in every waking moment.
Satyrs
The ease with which they can manipulate others, make other creatures feel uneasy in their presence.
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
Shadar-Kai
long life and freedom from frailty. Eventually, they were so different from Humans that they became a distinct
species.
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
Tieflings
whispers, to suffer violence and insult on the street, to see mistrust and fear in every eye: this is the lot of the
Tiefling.
Tritons guard the ocean depths, building small settlements beside deep trenches, portals to the elemental
Triton 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 appear as massive humanoids molded from a composite of materials — obsidian, iron, stone,
Warforged 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.

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.

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.

DUE TO THEIR SCARCITY, MOST PEOPLE DON'T EVEN CONSIDER THE PRESENCE OF CHANGELINGS IN THEIR SOCIETY. THEIR TIES TO THE FAR REALMS GIVE AREN'T ABANDONED

Quick to Change, Slow to Decide 6 When I have
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.

BREATH WEAPON. WHEN YOU TAKE THE ATTACK ACTION ON YOUR TURN, YOU CAN REPLACE ONE OF YOUR ATTACKS WITH AN EXHALATION OF

METALLIC OBJECTS WITHIN RANGE, WHICH AUTOMATICALLY FAIL THEIR SAVING THROWS.

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.

Eladrin Traits
YOUR ELADRIN CHARACTER HAS A VARIETY OF NATURAL ABILITIES, THE RESULT OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF ELVEN REFINEMENT.
AGE. ELADRIN REACH PHYSICAL MATURITY AT ABOUT THE SAME AGE AS HUMANS, THOUGH THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF AGE OFTEN GOES BEYOND
PHYSICAL GROWTH TO MORE APTLY ENCOMPASS THEIR WORLDLY KNOWLEDGE. AN ELADRIN TYPICALLY CLAIMS ADULTHOOD AROUND THE AGE OF 100
AND CAN LIVE TO BE 750 YEARS OLD.
SIZE. ELADRIN RANGE FROM UNDER 5 TO OVER 6 FEET TALL AND HAVE SLENDER BUILDS. YOUR SIZE IS MEDIUM.
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.
TRANCE. YOU DON'T NEED TO SLEEP, AND MAGIC CAN'T PUT YOU TO SLEEP. YOU CAN FINISH A LONG REST IN 4 HOURS IF YOU SPEND THOSE HOURS
IN A TRANCELIKE MEDITATION, DURING WHICH YOU RETAIN SEMI-CONSCIOUSNESS.
WHENEVER YOU FINISH THIS TRANCE, YOU MAY CHOOSE TO COMMUNE WITH THE MYSTIC POWERS OF THE FEY REALM, GRANTING YOU ADVANTAGE
ON YOUR CHOICE OF INTELLIGENCE, WISDOM, OR CHARISMA SAVING THROWS MADE AGAINST MAGIC UNTIL YOUR NEXT LONG REST.
FEY STEP. AS A BONUS ACTION, YOU CAN MAGICALLY TELEPORT UP TO 30 FEET TO AN UNOCCUPIED SPACE YOU CAN SEE. 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.

SHIFTING SEASONS. YOU EXIST IN DIFFERENT STATES OF BEING BASED ON YOUR CURRENT EMOTIONS AS EXPRESSED THROUGH THE FOUR SEASONS.
AT THE END OF A LONG REST OR AS AN ACTION ON YOUR TURN, YOU MAY SHIFT INTO WHICHEVER SEASON BEST MATCHES YOUR CURRENT EMOTIONAL
STATE.
WHEN SHIFTING INTO A NEW SEASON, YOU GAIN THE BENEFITS OF THAT SEASON AND LOSE THOSE OF YOUR PREVIOUS. THIS INCLUDES CHANGING
YOUR ABILITY SCORE INCREASES AND SPELLS AVAILABLE TO YOUR DIFFERENT COURT MAGIC TRAITS. ADDITIONALLY, IF YOU HAVE ALREADY CAST A LEVELED
SPELL USING ONE OF YOUR COURT MAGIC TRAITS FROM A PREVIOUSLY SHIFTED SEASON, YOU MAY NOT CAST A SPELL OF THAT LEVEL IN THAT WAY AGAIN
UNTIL YOU FINISH A LONG REST.
SUBRACE. ELADRIN CAN BE FOUND IN ONE OF FOUR STATES OF BEING, BASED UPON THE FOUR SEASONS THAT THEY MOVE BETWEEN BASED UPON
THEIR EMOTIONS.
Spring Eladrin
THEIR HEARTS FILLED WITH JOY, SPRING ELADRIN CAVORT THROUGH THEIR SYLVAN REALMS, THEIR SONGS AND LAUGHTER FILLING THE AIR. THESE PLAYFUL
ELADRIN BEGUILE OTHER CREATURES TO FILL THEM WITH THE JOY OF SPRING. THEIR ANTICS CAN LEAD OTHER CREATURES INTO DANGER AND MAKE
MISCHIEF FOR THEM.

Autumn Eladrin Winter Eladr

ELADRIN OFTEN ENTER THE AUTUMN SEASON WHEN THEY ARE OVERCOME BY FEELINGS OF GOODWILL. IN THIS ASPECT, THEY DEFUSE CONFLICTS AND WHEN SORROW DIS
ALLEVIATE SUFFERING BY USING THEIR MAGIC TO RELIEVE ANY AILMENTS THAT AFFLICT THE PEOPLE WHO COME TO THEM FOR AID. THEY TOLERATE NO PALPABLE SADNESS

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.

THEM. FAIRIES USUALLY ADOPT THE NAME OF A PARTICULARLY BEAUTIFUL NATURAL PHENOMENA OR POWERFUL EMOTION; AURORA, DEWDROP,
SUNRISE, RAINBOW, JOY, SERENITY, OR GLEE.

Page 113 of 149
:
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
107
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

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
Page 114 of 149
:
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.

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
110
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.

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

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.

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.

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.
FEMALE NAMES: ALIKI, AVRA, CHARA, DAFNI, EIRINI, ELPIDA,

YOUR SATYR CHARACTER HAS THE FOLLOWING TRAITS.
ABILITY SCORE INCREASES. YOUR CHARISMA SCORE INCREASES BY 2 AND YOUR DEXTERITY SCORE INCREASES BY 1.
AGE. SATYRS MATURE AND AGE AT ABOUT THE SAME RATE AS HUMANS.
SIZE. SATYRS RANGE FROM JUST UNDER 5 FEET TO ABOUT 6 FEET IN HEIGHT, WITH GENERALLY SLENDER BUILDS. YOUR SIZE IS MEDIUM.
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.

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.

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

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,

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.

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.

Warforged
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.

Warforged Traits
YOUR WARFORGED CHARACTER HAS THE FOLLOWING RACIAL TRAITS.
AGE. DUE TO THEIR ARTIFICIAL DESIGN, THE TRUE LENGTHS OF A WARFORGED LIFESPAN IS UNKNOWN AS, THEORETICALLY, THEY SHOULD LAST AS LONG

LIVING CONSTRUCT. YOU ARE CONSIDERED A LIVING CONSTRUCT, MEANING YOU ARE 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).

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.
