Introduction & Racial Points

Dungeons & Dragons 5e is an amazing RPG. It is extremely approachable to new players and fittingly started with many simple designs.

However, as WOTC continues to create more and more books to push the game in new directions with new adventures, classes, and races, WOTC has been pushing the bill on exactly how powerful a player race can be, with newer options often outperforming their predecessors through sheer power and versatility.

What this can lead to is races seemingly never played as newer options simply become the best available for a given archetype.

This problem has been accented by Tasha's Cauldron of Everything making it so races can have their ASI's any way they want.

However, there is a great way to fix this. Rather than nerfing newer options (unless absolutely necessary) the better way (in my opinion) is to simply raise the power level of older options to contend with these new options while remaining true to their flavor.

How do we do this?

Rebalancing using a racial points system.

How the system works

Originally designed as a way to evaluate races, the Musicus system has been expanded and is used to evaluate all races released by WOTC.

The system is designed to work in terms of portions of an ability score improvement (ASI) and is pretty effective at determining how much power/versatility a race has.

This of course allows us to see how they measure up to one another and compare.

It is also worth keeping in mind that this system is a mixture of art and science, there is no true system of racial balance but rather a rough outline which is used to measure them.

As such, the system serves well as a rough evaluative tool.

Rebalance

However, rough though it may be, the system is quite effective. Most new races are fitting around the 30-32 point mark, while PHB races are roughly 24-27 points in total. This disparity is highlighted as WOTC pushes stronger and stronger races, and so the goal of this massive rework is to get all races within the 30-32 point range.

Great effort is being made to ensure races still keep their individuality, and as such this rework is designed so that each race has at LEAST one truly unique mechanic.

Expansion

Diving past the realm of 5e and its monsters, this collection dives deep into concepts from past editions and more to create an extensive list that goes well beyond the official options to a grand total of 155 base player race options, with MANY more subraces and racial variants.

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, refugees, scouts, and explorers, their outposts functioning as footholds in a world both strange and alien.

Aartuk

There are several varieties of aartuk, each belonging to different tribes, but they all share a similar shape. Aartuk bodies are shaped like stars, moving on five appendages that end on suction cups with three pseudopods each. Their skin is similar to a spiked bark that resembled leather. At the center of the star-shaped body, a long snake-like neck ends in an oval head with three black sensory organs, capable of detecting sounds, vibrations, and infrared light, but not visible light.

Variants of aartuk include gray, light brown, or moss-covered individuals, among others. In all cases, they are experts at blending in with their natural environment. Aartuk can eat any type of nourishment, and usually cook their meals.

Personality Aartuk view war as a form of art and devote their entire lives to it. They worship evil deities associated with war from diverse origins, including human deities from several worlds, as well as other creatures.

They treasure gems, art pieces, weapons, and magic items that have any association with the theme of war. Aristocrats and elders have their own type of magic item: torques worn around their necks that can provide magical protection or other enhancements. Humanoids can wear those items like bracelets.

Combat Aartuk warriors fight by throwing pellets of solidified sap at their opponents, as well as constricting them with their powerful tongues, which can grab an opponent at a distance of up to 30 feet (9.1 meters). They then proceed to use their other appendages to crush the entangled opponent to death.

Elder aartuk have more powerful sap projectiles, which produce sparks when hitting their targets. If fired while in the phlogiston, the spark ignites the equivalent of a fireball, so this ability is used sparingly, lest it might damage the elder's allies. The elder also has clerical powers and is capable of casting spells such as cause fear, chant, command, curse, darkness, flame blade, and magic stone. Additionally, elders are immune to magic that manipulates movement or the shape of plants.

In any fight, aartuk avoid harming individuals that they perceive to be capable of piloting spelljammers, as they prefer to capture them and take them as prisoners in case they have to retreat, later employing them as slave pilots to their spelljammer vessels.

Society Aartuk communities can be found anywhere in wildspace or even in the phlogiston. They are always organized in tribes consisting of one elder leading several warriors. Tribes typically control one or more spelljammers, which they take over and plunder from defeated enemies. Different tribes can ally in face of a strong common foe, but normally they do not maintain much contact with each other.

Ecology The reproductive cycle of aartuk is related with their obsession with war. They reproduce by infecting an unconscious opponent with a virus that can be cured with a remove disease spell but, if left unchecked, transforms the victim's flesh into jelly over the course of a few days. From the jelly, a new aartuk emerges within one month, carrying the memories of the aartuk who had infected the victim.

An aartuk warrior lives between 70 and 90 years until it blossoms. A blossomed aartuk, known as an aristocrat, could display flowers, mushrooms, or rocky outgrowths, depending on the variety. After blossoming, most aartuk wilt and die, but the few who survive the process shed their original skins and become elders, who live on for another 40 to 60 years. Newly emerged elders are usually granted a spelljamming vessel, slave pilots, and some treasure and then depart with a few young aartuk to found a new tribe.

Uses The slime secreted by aartuk tongues could be boiled to produce a fairly potent glue. The sap from elders can be fermented to produce a beverage called aartukia, which is eagerly sought after by beholders and could be sold for a substantial value. Their tongues can be dried to produce rope, but are also considered a savory delicacy. Crates of aartuk tongues were regularly stored in Stardock for its githyanki inhabitants in the late 15th century DR.

History There are legends that indicate that the aartuk home world was destroyed by beholders in the distant past. For that reason, aartuk hold an ancient hate toward them and waste no opportunity to harm a beholder if the opportunity arises.

Aasimar

Aasimar bear within their souls the light of the heavens. They are descended from humans with a touch of the power of Mount Celestia, the divine realm of many lawful good deities. Aasimar are born to serve as champions of the gods, their births hailed as blessed events. They are a people of otherworldly visages, with luminous features that reveal their celestial heritage.

An aasimar, except for one who has turned to evil, has a link to an angelic being. That being – usually a deva – provides guidance to the aasimar, though this connection functions only in dreams. As such, the guidance is not a direct command or a simple spoken word. Instead, the aasimar receives visions, prophecies, and feelings.

Necrotic Shroud. When you use your Celestial Revelation feature, your eyes briefly become pools of darkness, and ghostly, flightless wings sprout from your back temporarily. Creatures within 10 feet of you that can see you must succeed on a Charisma saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Until the transformation ends, once on each of your turns, you can deal extra necrotic damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus. (Points: 7)

An aasimar who was granted otherworldly powers at birth may become a mystic — a type of aasimar whose radiant strength has been overcome with cosmic honor.

Psychic Rise. When you use your Celestial Revelation feature, you reveal the alien nature that lives within you, causing your hair and eyes to turn pink and two membranous, tentacle ridden wings rip from your back. Until the transformation ends, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed. Additionally. you can cast the Command spell once as a bonus action during your transformation without components. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for this spell. A creature that fails its save against your Command spell when it is cast this way immediately takes psychic damage equal to your level + proficiency bonus, or half as much on a success.

Subrace: Protector Aasimar

Protector aasimar are charged by the powers of good to guard the weak, to strike at evil wherever it arises, and to stand vigilant against the darkness. From a young age, a protector aasimar receives advice and directives that urge to stand against evil.

Radiant Soul. When you use your Celestial Revelation feature, two luminous, spectral wings sprout from your back temporarily. Until the transformation ends, you have a flying speed equal to your walking speed, and once on each of your turns, you can deal extra radiant damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus. (Points: 7)

Subrace: Scourge Aasimar

Scourge aasimar are imbued with a divine energy that blazes intensely within them. It feeds a powerful desire to destroy evil-a desire that is, at its best, unflinching and, at its worst, all-consuming. Many scourge aasimar wear masks to block out the world and focus on containing this power, unmasking themselves only in battle.

Radiant Consumption. When you use your Celestial Revelation feature, searing light temporarily radiates from your eyes and mouth. For the duration, you shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet, and at the end of each of your turns, each creature within 10 feet of you takes radiant damage equal to your proficiency bonus. Until the transformation ends, once on each of your turns, you can deal extra radiant damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus.(Points: 7)

Subrace: Titan Aasimar

Titan aasimar are empowered by the colossal strength of a celestial titan, most typically, an empyrean. They stand resolute against those who would do evil, though some, touched by a corrupted or cursed titan, may turn their ire toward forces of good, seeking only to darken the light in the world.

Divine Dynamo. When you use your Celestial Revelation feature, you unleash the divine energy within yourself, setting your eyes ablaze with fury as your towering form swells. The instant you transform, your size is doubled in all dimensions, and your weight is multiplied by eight. This growth increases your size by one category—from Medium to Large, for example. If there isn't enough room for you to double in size, you attain the maximum possible size in the space available. Your weapons also grow to match your new size. While your weapons are enlarged, your attacks with them deal 1d6 extra damage. Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. During it, you have advantage on Strength checks and saving throws, and your movement speed increases by 10 feet. In addition, once on each of your turns, you can deal extra radiant damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an attack or a spell. The extra damage equals your proficiency bonus. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. (Points: 7)

Abeil

Abeils exhibit a mix of features held by bees and elves. Bristly fur colored in alternating bands of black and yellow covers their bodies. Their heads are elf-like, though their eyes are black and faceted, and they sport antennae. They have four-digited hands, translucent bee-like wings, and stingers. Vassals and queens have relatively slender limbs, while those of the larger soldiers are much more muscular. The Abeils can induce sleep on creatures with the beating of their wings, and the different castes possess differing powers based upon their physiology.

Buzzing Drone. At 3rd level, you can cast the Sleep spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to cast it when you finish a long rest.

Subrace: Soldier Abeil

Soldier Abeils can beat their wings so strong that they form a blast of sonic energy that is devastating to their foes.

Stormwing. As an action, you can use your wings to create a sonic blast in a 15ft cone. Each creature in that cone must make a Dexterity saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Constitution modifier + your proficiency bonus), taking 2d8 thunder damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. Once you reach 3rd level, you can use this ability as a bonus action. The damage increases to 3d8 at 6th level, 4d8 at 11th level, and 5d8 at 16th level.

The poisoned target can repeat the saving throw on each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. At 11th level, if the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is also paralyzed while poisoned in this way. You can use this ability once, and you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. (Points: 4)

Aefling

Aeflings are a rare mishap in the natural order of things, as their neighbors take great pleasure in reminding them. Most people hate them even more than they hate tieflings. In their eyes, mixing aasimar and tiefling blood is nothing short of unforgivable, and the product of that is simply irredeemable. Aeflings face the most hate from aasimar and tieflings, because, similar to half-elves, each race sees too much of the other in the aefling. This often leads aeflings down the path of solitude, wanting only to get away from the hate and scorn, but some stray from the beaten path and choose a life of adventure instead. These few who decide to become adventurers have the potential to become some of the most powerful adventurers of all time.

All expended energy returns when you take a long rest. (Points: 3)
Hand of Life. You have an innate ability to heal because of your divine ancestry. As a bonus action, you can touch a creature and cause it to regain a number of hit points equal to half your level, rounded up. Once you use this trait, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. (Points: 2)

(Total Points: 32)

Aetherborn

Aetherborn come into being spontaneously as part of the aether refinement process. Their bodies and minds are apparently formed out of some interaction between the volatile elements of aether that are removed during refinement and the psychic impressions created by the people involved in the process. But each aetherborn is a unique individual, not a mere copy of some other person’s mind and shape. This race is little understood, and few aetherborn are willing to waste any of their short lives allowing vedalken scholars to study their biological and psychological characteristics.

Aetherborn are a strange living by-product of the process of aether refinement, cast in humanoid form but lacking any of the biological qualities of other races. They don’t eat or sleep, and they don’t reproduce—nor do they have any physical sexual characteristics. Language that categorizes people into male or female categories thus breaks down when it comes to aetherborn. Most aetherborn prefer that others use the pronoun “they” to refer to them, since it doesn’t attribute a gender that they don’t possess. Only a relative few prefer “he” or “she,” having chosen to adopt a gender.

(Total Points: 32)

Traits

Ability Score Improvement. (a) One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and a different ability score of your choice increases by 1. Or (b) Three different ability scores of your choice increases by 1. (Points: 12)
Age. Aetherborn come into being as adults and live no more than a few years. However, some master dark arts that extend their lifetimes.
Alignment. As a rule, aetherborn are driven by hedonism and self-interest, making them neutral at best and thoroughly evil at worst. Neutral aetherborn might devote much of their time (and wealth) to parties and social activity, while evil aetherborn are usually involved in the criminal underworld.
Size. Aetherborn are about the same size as humans, ranging from 5 to 6 feet tall. They are quite light—only about 100 pounds—and their weight diminishes as they age and more and more of their substance returns to the aethersphere. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Creature Type. Your creature type is Humanoid.
Body of Aether. Aetherborn tend to not live long, and as such their bodies often fall apart over time while they are still alive, granting you the following traits:
You have resistance to Necrotic damage.
You don’t need to eat, drink, or breathe.
You don't need to sleep, and magic can't put you to sleep.
When you take a long rest, you must spend at least six hours in an inactive, motionless state, rather than sleeping. In this state, you appear inert, but it doesn’t render you unconscious, and you can see and hear as normal. (Points: 10)
Darkvision. Accustomed to the night, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray. (Points: 3)
Siphoning Strike. Whenever you deal damage to a creature with a melee attack, you can choose to gain temporary hit points equal to 2d4 + Your constitution modifier (minimum 1). Once you’ve used this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. (Points: 4)
Unpredictable Reputation. Whenever you make a Charisma (Intimidation) check, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the total ability check. (Points: 3)
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.

Aldani

Many Chultan natives can recall childhood fables of the aldani, the eerie lobsterfolk that lived in the rivers and lakes of their homeland. As there have been no sightings of the aldani in years, it is widely believed that they were wiped out. In truth, many aldani survived and retreated to the lakes of the Aldani Basin in the heart of Chult. An aldani looks like a giant lobster that walks upright. Its face is mostly encased in armor, looking almost humanoid except for its long eyestalks. Despite their frightful appearance, aldani avoid conflict. Reclusive and xenophobic, they hide in their lakes and rivers.

Aldani Bribes. If disturbed, aldani try to frighten intruders away without killing them. When confronted by creatures who aren't easily startled, they offer bribes in exchange for being left alone. These bribes take the form of treasures that the aldani collect from the bottoms of rivers and lakes.

Cursed by Ubtao. The aldani are the monstrous descendants of Chultan humans belonging to the Aldani tribe. The fishers of the tribe trapped the lobsters of the rivers by the thousands, until no lobsters remained. Their greed made Ubtao angry, and he cursed the fishers by transforming them into lobsterfolk. The fishers accepted their punishment and embraced their new existence. However, they were scorned by other members of their tribe and forced to take refuge in the rivers they had once plundered. Although the Aldani tribe went extinct, the lobsterfolk remain to this day.

Adaptations

Choose one of the following options:

(a) Protruding Spines. As a reaction when a creature would hit you with a weapon attack, you can use your spines to protect you.

(b) Smashing Claws. Whenever you deal damage to a creature with your Claws, you can have the attack deal an extra 1d6 thunder damage and force that creature to make a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your Strength modifier + your Proficiency Bonus), on a failed save, the creature is stunned until the start of its next turn. You can use this ability twice, and regain all expended uses upon finishing a long rest. (Points: 6)

Aleax

The aleax is a physical manifestation of the vengeance enacted by a power. There is but one aleax for each deity; it is sent forth to punish and redeem those who stray from the dictates of their alignments, who fail to sacrifice sufficient treasure, or who otherwise anger the god. These creatures are created specifically to fulfill that stated purpose, so an aleax will never be met by chance.

The aleax usually appears in human or humanoid form and quite closely resembles its intended victim. In fact, the being is in all respects (except as noted elsewhere) an exact duplicate. The aleax has the same attribute scores, hit points, armor and Armor Class, weapons, magical items, spells, and so on. To the intended recipient of the deity’s punishment, the aleax appears to be bathed in shimmering light that varies in color according to the god’s specific alignment: golden for lawful-good aleaxi, vibrant green for lawful neutral, deep purple for lawful evil, bright yellow for neutral good, silver for true neutral, royal blue for neutral evil, ever-changing rose-and-blue for chaotic good, kaleidoscopic colors of all shades for chaotic neutral, and shifting scarlet and indigo for chaotic evil.

Bystanders, however, see the aleax as a nondescript individual of the same race as the target. When the aleax attacks, it seems to onlookers that the character has been assaulted by (or has attacked) a complete stranger. Those attempting to help the character quickly discover they cannot aid the object of divine wrath. Companions of the punished character can do little but stand helplessly by and wait for the outcome of the battle (see below).

When it appears, the aleax utters a few brief words in the language of its deity (which may or may not be understandable to the victim), stating that the mortal has offended the god, outlining the nature of the crime, and insisting that he or she must now submit to punishment. After this decree is spoken, the aleax attacks without quarter or mercy. No discussion or plea is heeded.

Archai

On Zaegoth, there are remote villages on the isle of Kreldor that live in the shadow of a massive volcano. This volcano is sacred, being home to many ancient spirits that are ancestors or spirits that have ascended and live within the elemental plane of fire. Sometimes, sick children will be taken to the top of the volcano, and after a strange and secretive ritual ceremony, are tossed into the volcano. If the rite is accepted, a small child will wander out of the volcano unscathed, a child with pale flesh, white hair, and blood red eyes. Such a creature is an Archai, a spirit bonded entity with elemental powers and a connection to the elemental plane of fire. These children are often given special roles within village society, and are feared for their great prowess. Archai often change skin tone depending upon their emotion, turning red when angry or a deep purple when sad or embarrassed. In other settings, Archais can be created through elemental rites or spirit bonds, or perhaps dealings with an efreet or other powerful entity.

Archon

Archons are a race of outsiders from the heavens, creatures of fundamental law and good tasked with the protection of that plane as well as all who are innocent or free of evil. They are the natural enemies of devils and demons, and most are veterans of many attacks against their home by fiends of the Lower Planes. Archons are universally less powerful than their angelic kin, but often deal with more worldly matters than the Blood War that rages in the outer planes.

Protectors of the Innocent

Originating from the high heavens, archons are inclined towards justice and mercy for all innocent creatures. An archon walking the mortal plane might be on a mission of justice for the high heavens, or perhaps is simply lost on the planes, searching for a way back home. Regardless of the reason, it is in their nature to defend the innocent and battle evil wherever they venture.

Merciful Warriors

When an archon engages in battle, they do so honorably. With exception to fiends and undead, hound archons tend to dislike killing and prefer to incapacitate or disarm mortal foes whenever possible. In addition, it is unheard of for an archon to strike a foe who is defenseless or one whose back is turned to them, or to deny an opponent's surrender.

Foes of Evil

From the moment of birth, archons are trained to lay waste to their sworn enemies, fiends of the lower planes, and all forms of undead. The irredeemably evil are not exempted from their wrath, but these are a rare exception to the rule. When an archon does meet one of its sworn foes, it hold no quarter, and fights relentlessly until its foe crumbles.

Archon Names

Archons, like most angels, have majestic names borrowed from the most ancient of languages in the planes, celestial. Because their names are unique to themselves, archons have only one name. Male Archon Names: Arioch, Barbiel, Hadraniel, Kasbiel, Malockel, Nisarriah, Samuel, Semalion, Tatryon, Vohamodnoch. Female Archon Names: Anaphiel, Rehael, Serapha, Viretel, Oriash, Zarall, Hemah Sansavi, Piradah, Hadariel.

Armand

Armands are nomadic humanoids who wander the desert in search of new experiences. They operate as a democratic unit with all adult armands able to voice and vote in council. They don't believe in individual ownership and share all possessions and resources among other armands. Their philosophy scorns wealth because of its transitory nature. Of infinitely greater value are experiences, and those armands who have traveled, adventured, and returned to the tribe are deemed "wise ones" whose advice carries the most weight. Thus, many young adult armands leave their families and seek to see more of the world.

An armand prefers to avoid combat. It enjoys living and treasures new experiences. An armand rarely starts a conflict because combat too often causes an untimely end and deprives the armand or its foe of the pleasures of life. However, it will certainly fight if attacked.

Armand leaders arise from those who have traveled widely and experienced much. It is the duty of an armand warden to return to the tribe and lend its wisdom to the group. An armand tribe usually consists of several small, closely knit family groups that come together to share resources. When faced with a deadly common foe, many tribes will converge on a defensible location to "make their stand." Tribes look to the wardens for leadership, and a single tribe may have several wardens leading it. The armands rarely build permanent dwellings. They live in large communal tents or take advantage of ready shelter, such as caves.

Armands worship Fharlanghn, Obad-Hai, or Pelor (or other deities whose portfolios include travel, nature, and the sun).

Azuuran

Originally, the Azuuran were Leshay, immortal fey with powers beyond that which mortals can wield. Believing they could be more however, some Leshay sought ancient magic and great chaotic power; and in the process, they transformed into seers and fierce warriors but were blinded by their newfound prowess. As time passed they neglected the source of their immortality, the Aegis Sun, which drifted away from them in their endless search for knowledge. As the Aegis Sun left, the Azuuran were shifted into what they are now. As time passed, the race began to split apart both ideologically and biologically. Those who studied the arcane continued their search for knowledge, learning of powerful magics to assist them. Meanwhile, there were those who transformed in the Aegis Sun's absence, becoming aware of their new mortality and becoming more obsessive and crazed. Finally, there were those lost in the distant cataclysm, the Azuuran who keep to the old ways are known as Grey Azuuran, and still have some vestiges of their lost power.

Beholderkin

A soldier watches as his platoon and fellow soldiers are wiped out by waves of flaming arrows on a battlefield. He screams in rage and changes into a monster of terrifying power as he blasts the enemy position with a death ray.

A paladin lifts his shield in defense of the innocent as zombies batter him. He rises into the air and screams with the power of an ancient curse. He disintegrates row and row of undead with a blast of radiant energy from his eyes. The innocent gaze on in wondrous fear.

A thief exits a fortress vault with a bag full of gold and gems. He petrifies the guards where they stand as he strolls out of the vault.

History Long ago, a twisted and sinister beholder had spent his life learning vile necromancy and the secrets of the darkness and grew too powerful in the eyes of the gods. The god of order grew worried about his strength and cursed him to a human body. The beholder had become weaker, frailer, and unable to sustain his once-powerful magic. He was horrified, and after many days of mourning his power, he decided upon his fate: that he would continue his lineage by taking over a small town to begin his reign anew. However, he was set upon by the power of love and friendship, which shattered his xenophobic beliefs, and he grew to care for the people around him. He eventually integrated into society and mated with a woman that he had fallen in love with. The Beholder, as he went about his simple life, forgot more and more that he was ever a beholder or evil. With him consumed with goodness, the god was pleased. The first beholderkin died and his story and power dissolved away in the ruins of time. For each new generation from his lineage, beholder blood runs, allowing them to connect to their powerful abilities. The beholderkin often appear human, and may never know they are beholderkin, or even the story of their heritage, but through studying and some awakening event, they arise, and attune to their powerful abilities.

Society Beholderkin roam the Material Plane, often not knowing the power they possess. Their improved intellect seems to be the only outward sign of their heritage. Those that are awoken to the power use it in varied ways. Their knowing that power has inherently evil roots makes them cautious about its use. Some who discover their powers may never use it, fearing it, while others may revel in their new found abilities.

Brownie

Making their homes in walls, attics, and under floorboards of homes and family run workshops, brownies are one of the few fey that prefer to live among the mortal races. They're about the same size as sprites, but lack wings. Where the sprites resemble miniature elves, the brownies are more like tiny caricatures of gnomes. The name “brownie” is thought to be a reference to the heavy leather aprons they wear which have many pockets for tools.

Most faerie lore known to common folk stems from brownies. Many traditions are passed down by farmers and villagers that are intended to attract or to keep the wee folk happy. Offerings of milk and honey, adorning cats with a bell on their collar, and shouting warning before tossing out the bath water are some of the more common traditions.

The benefits of sharing a home with a family of brownies are many. They are crafting faeries, and often spend the night helping their host by sharpening tools, fixing defects in a craft project that would otherwise be missed, and other such things. If anyone invades the home or workshop they live in, the brownies will band together and use their magic to drive away the intruder. Brownies are very picky about the families they'll dwell with, but any farm or workshop housing brownies is likely to be successful. Any craftsman with brownies in his workshop crafts as though he has the reliable talent feature.

At the same time, one must be careful not to offend the little helpers or they will find their luck suddenly turning. Tools might go missing, crafted products develop flaws, or they're beset by a string of robberies. If the cause of the offense, and way to make reparations can't be discovered, they will drive the offender into ruin before moving on.

Aside from the customary offering of milk and honey, and certain traditions which ensure their safety, brownies prefer for their presence to be unacknowledged. Bragging about having brownies in your home, or actively trying to spot them will cause them to just up and leave. Small children get a pass, though they will make it clear that they expect the adults to teach the young proper etiquette.

Some brownies are willing to serve spellcasters as a familiar. These spellcasters must be of a good alignment, and are usually the less adventurous sort. Shop owners, alchemists, and artificers are most likely to be chosen. However, this is hard to verify because they're so elusive, and the wizards just change the subject whenever asked.

Bugbear

Bugbears feature in the nightmare tales of many races great, hairy beasts that creep through the shadows as quiet as cats. If you walk alone in the woods, a bugbear will reach out of the bushes and strangle you. If you stray too far from the house at night, bugbears will scoop you up to devour you in their den. If a bugbear cuts off your head, your soul stays trapped inside, and the bugbears use your head to magically command all whom you once knew. Lurid tales such as these have flowered from the seeds of truth. Bugbears do rely on stealth and strength to attack, preferring to operate at night. They do take the heads of enemy leaders, but they are no more likely to eat people indiscriminately than humans are. Bugbears aren't likely to attack lone travelers or wandering children unless they clearly have something to gain by doing so. From the viewpoint of the rest of the world, their aggression and savagery are thankfully offset by their rarity and lethargy.

Bullywug

"We may be slimy, but we are still might-AAARGH!"

-Jalileo Gabbers, Bullywug Ranger, seconds before he and his party were disintegrated by an angry lich.

Physical Description Bullywugs are shorter stout creatures, appearing like humanoid frogs or toads. They are between 4-5 feet tall, and can have blue, yellow, green, gray, or red skin. They can have red, gold, bronze, orange, or silver eyes, which are very large and above their heads. They sometimes have black spots on their skin.

History Bullywugs are a race that has lived in the swamps of the world since age-old history. They have lived in a foul aristocracy, fighting over ranks and appealing to their superiors in any way that they possibly can. While other societies have improved their technology with metal, bullywugs still use simple weapons and armor, however they use them more effectively than most races do.

Society Bullywugs live in a system of aristocracy, trying to please their superiors constantly. Bullywugs either move through the ranks by murdering their rivals, or presenting gifts to their superiors, and they always introduce themselves with grand titles. They only have three ranks in their society: the leader, the superiors, and the inferiors. Most bullywugs are in the inferior class, though some do reach the superior class.

Relationships Bullywugs do not typically kill other races, preferring to capture people and bring them to their leaders. The leaders have giant inferiority complexes, desiring to be respected and feared by other races, allowing them to be easily flattered. As such, most races pity the Bullywugs, even when they are rude, some Bullywugs can find homes with the kinder races, and are ignored by the more hostile ones.

Centaur

Roamers at heart, centaurs love open spaces and the freedom to travel. As much as they can, centaurs run. They race the wind, hooves thundering and tails streaming behind them.

Nature’s Cavalry: Centaurs have humanoid upper bodies, displaying all the human variety of skin tones and features. In size, they are comparable to a human rider mounted on a horse, and they fill similar roles — as cavalry, messengers, outriders, and scouts.

Centaurs’ ears are slightly pointed, but their faces are more wide and square than those of elves. Below the waist, they have the bodies of horses, with coats tending toward brown shades (chestnut or bay) and darker tails.

Nature and Community: Centaurs have a strong sense of the interconnectedness of the natural world, and they celebrate family and community as microcosms of that greater connection.

The birth of a foal is always cause for festivities. At the same time, centaurs revere the traditions of the past, preserving old ways and keeping alive the legends of ancestral heroes. They feel a close kinship with wild animals, perhaps because of their own hybrid nature, and delight in the feeling of running alongside herds and packs of beasts.

Centaur Names: Centaurs’ given names are passed down through family lines. The name given to a new foal is typically the name of the most recently deceased family member of the same gender, keeping alive the memory — and, the centaurs believe, some shard of the spirit — of the departed.

Centaurs rarely use family names, but wear symbols that represent their family membership. These symbols might include graphical representations of plants or animals, printed mottos, braids and beads worn in the hair and tail, or even specific patterns of woven fabric.

Once you reach 5th level, can cast the Tasha's Mind Whip spell once. You can also cast these spells using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level. You must finish a long rest to cast these spells again with this trait. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 8)
Malleable Shape. You can squeeze through a space as narrow as 1 inch wide. (Points: 3)

Tentacles. You have 4 off-hand tentacles besides the ones you use for walking and the ones you use as hands. Your off-hand tentacles have a reach of 5 feet, and you can use them in the following ways: lift a number of pounds equal to five times your Strength score; open or close a door or a container; or use as another free object interaction during your turn.

Changeling

A changeling can shift its face and form with a thought. Many changelings use this gift as a form of artistic and emotional expression, but it’s an invaluable tool for grifters, spies, and others who wish to deceive. This leads many people to treat known changelings with fear and suspicion.

Traits

Ability Score Improvement. (a) One ability score of your choice increases by 2, and a different ability score of your choice increases by 1. Or (b) Three different ability scores of your choice increases by 1. (Points: 12)
Age. Changelings mature slightly faster than humans but share a similar lifespan — typically a century or less. While a changeling can shapeshift to conceal their age, the effects of aging still catch up to them.
Alignment. Changelings hate to be bound in any way, and those who follow the path of the Traveler believe that chaos and change are important aspects of life. Most tend toward pragmatic neutrality as opposed to being concerned with lofty ideals. Despite common fears, few changelings embrace evil.
Size. In their natural forms, changelings average between 5 to 6 feet in height, with a slender build. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Creature Type. Your creature type is Fey. (Points: 2)
Change Appearance. As an action, you can transform your appearance or revert to your natural form. You can’t duplicate the appearance of a creature you’ve never seen, and you revert to your natural form if you die. You decide what you look like, including your height, weight, facial features, the sound of your voice, coloration, hair length, sex, and any other distinguishing characteristics. You can make yourself appear as a member of another race, though none of your game statistics change. You also can’t appear as a creature of a different size than you, and your basic shape stays the same; if you’re bipedal, you can’t use this trait to become quadrupedal, for instance. Your clothing and other equipment don’t change in appearance, size, or shape to match your new form, requiring you to keep a few extra outfits on hand to make the most compelling disguise possible. Even to the most astute observers, your ruse is usually indiscernible. If you rouse suspicion, or if a wary creature suspects something is amiss, you have advantage on any Charisma (Deception) check you make to avoid detection. (Points: 9)
Changeling Instincts. You gain proficiency with two skills of your choice. (Points: 5)
Unsettling Visage. When a creature you can see makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the roll. You must use this feature before knowing whether the attack hits or misses. Using this trait reveals your shapeshifting nature to any creature within 30 feet that can see you. Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a short or long rest. (Points: 4)
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.

Chwinga

A chwinga (pronounced cheh-WING-ah) is a tiny elemental spirit that lives in plants, rocks, and rivers far from civilization. Painfully shy, chwingas prefer to move about unseen. If two or more chwingas live in the same area, each one will take shelter in a different plant. rock, or body of fresh water. Though no two chwingas look exactly alike, they resemble 6-inch-tall animated dolls with strange masks, spindly limbs, and wild hair. Their appearance is sometimes foreshadowed by cool breezes, the sweet smell of flowers, and dancing fireflies. Their mere presence makes a natural setting more lush and vibrant.

Humanoid Fascination. Chwingas shun most other creatures, but they find the trappings of civilization fascinating. They puzzle over creatures that wear armor, carry weapons, use tools, and cook food. When a chwinga encounters one or more humanoids, its curiosity sometimes gets the better of it, and it shadows those creatures for a short time to observe them. If it takes a liking to a particular humanoid, a chwinga might use its cantrips to aid it, or might bestow a magical gift before departing. The features that attract a chwinga to a particular humanoid can vary. In some cases, a chwinga might simply like the way a humanoid walks or the way it combs its hair. Other times, it might be smitten by a humanoid's ability to play music or to eat copious amounts of food.

Elemental Nature. Chwingas sleep but don't require air, food, or drink. They don't normally have names or the ability to speak. When a chwinga dies, it normally turns into a handful of flower petals, a cloud of pollen, a stone statue resembling its former self, a marble of smooth stone, or a puddle of fresh water.

Dabus

Among the bustling throngs of Sigil's streets float gray-skinned, vaguely humanlike figures with curled horns. Where they travel, cracks in the mortar seal shut, stray bricks float back into place, and ruined city blocks are restored. These are dabus, the silent caretakers of Sigil and loyal servants of the Lady of Pain.

Dabus patrol the City of Doors to maintain public buildings, portals, and utilities. They use their innate ability to manipulate Sigil's infrastructure not only to effect repairs but also to combat individuals who disrupt the city's operations or violate the Lady's edicts, hurling bricks at troublemakers and subduing them by causing the streets to sprout grasping cobblestone hands.

When dabus communicate, rather than speaking or signing words, they create esoteric illusory images and symbols in front of themselves. Scholars have yet to determine the origin of dabus's difficult-to-comprehend rebuses, though some speculate their etymology predates Sigil itself.

Erupting Earth. At 5th level, you can cause a 20-foot-square area of ground you can see within 60 feet of you to sprout clutching appendages made of stone. Each creature of the your choice in that area must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (DC = 8 + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (choose when you select this race)), or take 2d8 bludgeoning damage and have the grappled condition (escape DC is the same). While grappled in this way, the creature has the restrained condition. The appendages vanish after 1 minute or if your concentration ends (as if concentrating on a spell). (Points: 4)

Daelkyr Half-Blood

Despite being sealed away under the earth, a daelkyr can reproduce, after a fashion. A daelkyr's corporeal incarceration constantly leaks the virulence of its corrupting spirit. The unborn are especially vulnerable to this influence, and those innocents growing in the wombs of their mothers within the sphere of this beastly influence are born as daelkyr half-bloods.

Daelkyr half-bloods are born of pregnant mothers who were either influenced by proximity to a daelkyr confinement cylinder or infected by a breed leech. Transformed in the womb from the natural creature they might have otherwise become, half-bloods are instead born as aberrations, the knowledge of which each new daelkyr half-blood can embrace or reject as its own true nature becomes clear. When a daelkyr half-blood birth occurs spontaneously due to proximity to a daelkyr confinement cylinder, that daelkyr half-blood typically goes on to serve daelkyr goals. On the other hand, if a daelkyr half-blood is born after its mother's unfortunate contact with a breed leech, the resultant creature's nature is not predetermined - indeed, many go on to fight their own kind. However, the birth of a daelkyr half-blood is always accompanied by the afterbirth of a symbiont, twin to the daelkyr half-blood, if different in form and ability. Child and symbiont share an unnatural attraction, despite the horror of parents who might be tempted to cast out both. Such hard-luck half-bloods, shunned by their parents, might be more drawn to daelkyr ideals than those of their biological forebears.

Personality: Half-bloods born in captivity within Khyber-encompassing fortresses are as mad and insane as the daelkyr they serve. Half-bloods born on the surface and raised in civilized societies are more akin to humans in their personality. However, half-bloods are given to melancholy, anguish, and fits of extreme anger. More than most creatures, half-bloods can be of two minds on a particular subject, almost as if they indeed possessed two physical minds, and not just one like most creatures.

Half-bloods tend to avoid the spotlight, especially in urban environments where their true nature might be revealed through too much exposure to common folk. As such, they prefer dark corners, night, and side streets.

Physical Description: Anguish burns in the eyes of daelkyr half-bloods because their spirits are always in conflict. The most obvious outward sign that a creature has been "womb-warped" is the natural symbiont that is first birthed with a daelkyr half-blood (the symbiont is sometimes mistaken for a disfigured twin or gruesome afterbirth), then later befriended, worn, and utilized by the adult half-blood.

Daelkyr half-bloods are most often born of human mothers, and as such share almost all physical features in common with humans. A daelkyr half-blood stands between 5 and 6 feet tall and rarely weighs more than 170 pounds.

Relations: Daelkyr-loyal half-bloods are anathema to all other creatures, except the aberrations that also serve the Lords of Xoriat. Half-bloods living in other societies generally manage to coexist with other races so long as they do not openly reveal their symbionts, which tend to horrify and terrify average citizens of Khorvaire. Lucky half-bloods befriend those who look past their symbiont dependency, and are able to see the person beneath.

Daelkyr Half-Blood Lands: Half-bloods can be said to have lands only insofar as the daelkyr can claim the same. Large sections of Khyber are overrun with aberrations who serve one or another daelkyr, and among those aberrations are many half-bloods. However, non-subjugated half-bloods would shudder to "return" to these deep places in the earth, choosing instead to seek their way in the light above the ground.

Also, if a creature tries to read your mind or collect your thoughts, that creature must make a Wisdom save (8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (choose when you select this race)) or take psychic damage equal to 1d10 + the modifier used for this effect. (Points: 6)
Languages. You can speak and read Common and another language of your choice.

(Total Points: 32)

Symbiont Options

As a daelkyr half-blood, you gain one of the following options.

Symbiont: Breed Leech

This large black slug has a triangular mouth. It will instinctively attach itself to the nearest patch of skin large enough for it to feed. Oddly, there are those that are willing to carry on these leeches on their back or shoulder, citing that it has saved their life when things got really hairy.

Bolster Body. You have a +1 bonus on all Constitution saving throws. You can also cast False Life once. At 5th level, you can cast Aid once. You must finish a long rest to cast these spells again with this trait. You can also cast these spells using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 9)

Symbiont: Crawling Gauntlet

What initially appears to be rusty spiked gauntlet is, in fact, alive. Although it is hollow, its interior is covered with small, writhing tendrils. It seems perfectly capable of walking on its fingers, even climbing up the rotten wooden door. Worse yet, it seems apt, even willing, to claw open someone's foot.

Claw Gauntlet. The gauntlet is a natural weapon with the finesse property, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. If you have another feature that increases the damage of your unarmed strikes, the die size used is always one higher. (1d4 to 1d6, 1d6 to 1d8, 1d8 to 1d10, 1d10 to 1d12, and 1d12 to 2d8). (Points: 5)
Symbiont Strength. You have advantage on Strength (Athletics) checks. (Points: 4)

Symbiont: Spellwurm

Spellwurms are slick, purple snakes with pronounced, front facing eyes and their scales are covered in arcane runes. Designed by the Daelkyr to provide an easily replicated source of spells for their troops, most spellwurms managed to escape the eventual defeat at the hands of the Dhakaani hobgoblins and escaped into the swamps of the Shadow Marches.

Ghost Sound. As an action, you can create a volume of sound that rises, recedes, approaches, or remains at a fixed place you can see within 30 feet of you. You choose what type of sound ghost sound creates when casting it and cannot thereafter change the sound’s basic character. The volume of sound created depends on your level. You can produce as much noise as four normal humans per character level (maximum twenty humans). Thus, talking, singing, shouting, walking, marching, or running sounds can be created. The noise a ghost sound produces can be virtually any type of sound within the volume limit. A horde of rats running and squeaking is about the same volume as eight humans running and shouting. A roaring lion is equal to the noise from sixteen humans, while a roaring dire tiger is equal to the noise from twenty humans. You can only have one sound active at a time. (Points: 1)
Spellwurm Magic. You know the Ray of Frost cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Mage Armor spell once. Once you reach 5th level, you can cast the Flaming Sphere spell once. You must finish a long rest to cast these spells again with this trait. You can also cast these spells using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 8)

Symbiont: Stormstalk

Stormstalks are an offshoot of the spellwurm symbiont, specially bred to be a more offensive variant. While it does not have any spellcasting capability, the electrical shock it delivers is a useful addition to the front-line troops of Xoriat. Like spellwurms, stormstalks quickly detach from a deceased host and naturally seek warm, wet burrows or caves.

Storm Magics. You know the Electric Arc cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Chromatic Orb spell once, but only use lightning damage. Once you reach 5th level, you can cast the Lightning Bolt spell once. You must finish a long rest to cast these spells again with this trait. You can also cast these spells using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 9)

Symbiont: Tentacle Whip

This long, whip-like strand of tough muscle bears a sharp stinger.

Tentacle Whip. The tentacle whip is a natural weapon and counts as a whip of which you are proficient, and which you can use to make unarmed strikes. Attacks with the whip count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. (Points: 3)
Natural Climber. You have a climb speed of 30 feet. (Points: 2)
Noxious Tentacle. When you deal damage to a creature with your Tentacle Whip, you can force them to make a Constitution save (DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or take an additional 2d4 poison damage and become poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned target can repeat the saving throw on each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. At 11th level, if the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the target is also paralyzed while poisoned in this way. You can use this ability once, and you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. (Points: 4)

Symbiont: Throwing Scarab

This small, beautiful scarab looks like a piece of jewelry until it flutters its shimmering blue wings, which glisten in the light as if covered with a slick of oil. Also now visible is the creature’s double set of wickedly sharp mandibles.

Scarab Acid. Whenever you deal damage to a creature with your Throwing Scarab, you can choose to infuse that attack with acid, causing it to deal an additional 2d6 Acid damage on hit. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. (Points: 4)
Throwing Scarab. You have Throwing Scarab on your arm that you can use as a natural weapon with the finesse property. If you hit with it, you deal slashing damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Additionally, you can use them as thrown weapons with a range of 20/60. Attacks with the Throwing Scarab count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. (5 points)

Symbiont: Tongue Worm

Tongueworms are examples of daelkyr fleshcrafting, usually given to spies to get close to and incapacitate important people.

Tongue Worm. The tongue worm is a natural weapon with the finesse property, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with it, you deal piercing damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike. Additionally, when you roll initiative you gain advantage on the first attack made with your Tongue Worm for that combat. (Points: 4)
Toxic Defense. You have advantage on saving throws to avoid or end the poisoned condition on yourself, and you have resistance against poison damage. (Points: 5)

Symbiont: Winter Cyst

Winter cysts are cousins of stormstalks and another offshoot of spellwurms. Using by front line troops of the Daelkyr during their war with the hobgoblins, winter cyst masters were ordered to snipe Dhakaani siege operators at critical times during the reloading process, the sudden loss of strength would in turn cause massive accidents that would hamper the hobgoblin's efforts. However, after the Daelkyr were forced back to Xoriart, these small white snakes headed to the snow-covered peaks in the southern edge of the Demon Wastes.

Winter's Choke. You know the Frostbite cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Ray Of Enfeeblement spell once, but only use lightning damage. Once you reach 5th level, you can cast the Snilloc's Snowball Swarm spell once. You must finish a long rest to cast these spells again with this trait. You can also cast these spells using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 9)

Demigod

When the immortal gods get frisky, humans always seem to be willing to bear their children. Depending on which god is getting frisky, demigods are born with varying abilities and traits. Although the Greek gods are named here, the themes are quite generic and the Greek gods could be replaced with members of the Roman, Norse, or Faerun pantheons.

Demigods look like any other human, but are typically slightly more attractive and less prone to blemishes and similar markings. Most gods never meet their children and rarely claim them as their own. Upon reaching puberty and into adulthood, many start to show signs of their godly parentage with amazing feats or abilities. Demigods find their way into all walks of life, and most can go their whole lives without knowing what they truly are. Although their longevity gives them away eventually.

Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.

Derro

Legend had it that the derro originally lived on the surface of Faerûn. But they opened portals to the Far Realm, which offended the World Serpent, who cast the derro into the Underdark.

There were other conflicting legends of how the derro came to be. The duergar believed that the derro were another dwarf clan that was long held by mind flayers, which resulted in the madness that afflicted them. The derro themselves all told oft-changing variations of the myth of their god; all versions shared a common focus on his stealing of magic from a great evil to help the derro survive through their ideals of deceit and cruelty.

Held longer than the duergar by the mind flayers, the derro were warped in both mind and body until they became the twisted underdark dwellers they are today.

Pale and Stunted, the derro are stunted, dwarflike humanoids, small of stature with wide shoulders and stubby limbs. They stand between 3 and 4 feet tall, with males only slighter taller than females on average. Their slender builds rarely weigh more than 40 pounds. Their pale skin is nearly translucent, revealing a ghostly web of blue veins. Their large, pure white staring eyes gleam in the dark.

Shorter than surface dwarves, derro are quick and erratic in their movements. Their elaborately braided or styled hair ranges from white to a pale straw color. Males take great pride in their prodigious mustaches, which are often braided and waxed.

Nycters have little regard for Desmodu and look on them like the way humans see ogres. On the other hand, Desmodu go out of their way to prove themselves to Nycters.

Dire Corby

Heralded by the ominous, deep rumbling of their strange song, great packs of dire corbies range across the Underdark, stripping the tunnels and caverns they traverse of all living things. Even the mightiest creatures of the Underdark hide within fortified lairs or step aside from a dire corby flock, knowing of how these creatures' bizarre song disrupts, disorients, and ultimately overwhelms their prey.

Flocks of Doom. Dire corbies wander the Underdark in vast flocks, following predictable patterns of movement like migrating birds. They strip a region bare of the lichens, fungus, and vermin that comprise their diet before moving on to a fresh feeding ground. Underdark travelers prize accurate charts illustrating the movements of these flocks, since trailing a day behind them all but guarantees that the dire corbies will have cleared out many monsters and other threats. Horrid Songs The denizens of the Underdark hear an approaching flock of dire corbies long before it comes into view. As these creatures travel, they hoot, chirp, and howl in maddening cacophony. Their song has a strange magical current to it, causing those who hear it to suffer a stomach-churning vertigo that makes it impossible to move at speed or climb cave walls. Spellcasters suffer as their minds swim, leaving them unable to use anything but their simplest magic. The dire corbies' disorienting song has left countless Underdark creatures and travelers unable to flee as these monsters fall upon them.

Strange Escort. Certain Underdark explorers—judged inventive by some and lunatics by others—have learned to travel among the dire corbies. After blocking their ears to avoid the effect of a flock's song, these travelers attempt to mimic the strange hooting and chirping of a dire corby, with these creatures' simple minds making success surprisingly easy. Accepted as part of the flock, a traveler can range across the Underdark escorted by hundreds of humanoid creatures that the other predators of the depths take pains to avoid. Unwitting Explorers. As old pathways become impassable or a flock sustains heavy losses in a particular area, dire corbies will sometimes chart a new migratory course. Depending on their new route, a mob of these creatures might emerge in a dungeon connecting the Underdark and the surface world. Rampaging through such a dungeon, the flock often forces its monstrous inhabitants to flee for safer lairs. When they inevitably emerge on the surface, the dire corbies' voracious appetites cause them to quickly strip their new environment—including any nearby settlements—of life.

Racial Variant: Ghost Corby

Occasionally, a dire corby is born with no color to its plumage. Stark white, with glittering red eyes, these albino corbies are known as ghost corbies. Despite being smaller and weaker than normal corbies, ghost corbies manage to hold their own in the flock by virtue of being significantly smarter than their kin, as well as through the unusual ability to turn invisible. When hunting, they lie silently and invisibly in wait, seeming to appear out of thin air to take their prey by surprise. Some dire corby flocks view ghost corbies as dead corbies returned to life, and treat them with respect and awe. Other flocks see them as abominations and kill them on sight. Ghost corbies are smaller than normal dire corbies, standing just under 5 feet tall and weighing about 120 pounds. (Replaces Dire Cacophony)

(Points: 3)

Racial Variant: Winged Corby

Wingless corbies are the norm, but reports occasionally surface of dire corbies with wings. Whether these specimens are naturally born throwbacks to that remote time when all corbies possessed the power of flight, the offspring of unholy unions with other winged creatures of the dark depths—such as cloakers, bats, or demons—or the product of magical experimentation (such as drow fleshwarping) is unknown. Winged corbies usually inhabit vast subterranean caverns that give them room to fly, but have been reported above ground as well, stealthily winging through nighttime skies. (Replaces Corby Claws & Underdark Climber)

Dhampir

Poised between the worlds of the living and the dead, dhampirs retain their grip on life yet are endlessly tested by vicious hungers. Their ties to the undead grant dhampirs a taste of a vampire’s deathless prowess in the form of increased speed, darkvision, and a life-draining bite. With unique insights into the nature of the undead, many dhampirs turn to the lives of adventurers and monster hunters. Their reasons are often deeply personal. Some seek danger, imagining monsters as personifications of their own hungers. Others pursue revenge against whatever turned them into a dhampir. And still others embrace the solitude of the hunt, striving to distance themselves from those who’d tempt their hunger.

Dhampir Hungers

Every dhampir knows a thirst slaked only by the living. This desire is a whisper in the mind, a tinge to the sight, a reflex constantly needing to be suppressed. Those who overindulge their thirst risk losing control and forever viewing others as prey. Those who resist might find exceptional ways of controlling their urges or suppress it through constant, molar-grinding restraint. In any case, temptation haunts dhampirs, and circumstances conspire to give them endless reasons to indulge. While many dhampirs thirst for blood, your character might otherwise gain sustenance from the living. Roll on or choose an option from the Dhampir Hungers table to determine what tempts your character to feed.

Dohwar

Dohwar, penguin folk The dohwar are short, pudgy, flightless avians bearing a passing resemblance to penguins. The dohwar has two wings that are useless for flight but have limited prehensile action, allowing it to grasp objects. Though the dohwar speak common and their own tongue, they rely heavily on telepathic powers for communication among themselves. In fact, dohwar have pairings called "mergers", wherein two dohwar stay in mental rapport, even to the point of finishing each other's sentences. This drives other races crazy.

Society of Traders Dohwar society is an oligarchy ruled by several trading houses and cartels. They are shameless and sly merchants, always looking for an opportunity to turn a profit. Dohwar pass on fortunes as heritage, but they do not believe, and find ludicrous, any form of castes and birthrights other people believe in. For the dohwar a successful trader or artisan that can turn a profit can raise ranks in their society, and eventually become managers, perhaps gain a seat as a board member, or start their own cartel and become an executive president. The dohwar society is peculiarly religious. They worship powers associated with commerce, profits, and wealth. However, the power's race or alignment is unimportant. Though they love money, the dohwar are especially generous with religious contributions. Seeing such tithes as "investments", with the powers in return for divine advantage in future bargaining sessions.

Sweet tooth Dohwar eat fish, vegetables, and plankton. They are fond of strong drink, and alcohol does not intoxicate them. Sweets, on the other hand, are highly intoxicating; to a dohwar, one apple has the effect of strong beer, and a few tablespoons of honey or maple syrup get it blind drunk.

Dohwar Names Dohwar only have given names, but they once they take on merger with a mate, they will use the name of their partner as a pairing of both names. For example, a dohwar named Colder in a merger with a dohwar named Artis will introduce itself as I'm Colder from Colder & Artis. A Dohwar that has not yet formed a merger with a mate will use the name of their cartel or trading house instead.

Draconian

Created in order to fill the ranks of the dragonarmies of the Dark Queen Takhisis, the generals of the dragonarmies generally used draconians as shock troops. They are not natural creatures of Krynn. They were created from the eggs of metallic dragons using dark magic called the corruption ritual. These rituals were carried out by Dracart, a wizard of the Black Robes, WyrIlish, a priest of Takhisis, and Harkiel, a dark-hearted red dragon. One egg yielded dozens of young draconians. depending on the color of the dragon egg the draconian can be one of 5 types: Aurak, Baaz, Bozak, Kapak, and Sivak.

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.

Dromite

Dromites might be mistaken for halflings at a distance, due to their diminutive stature. However, closer scrutiny reveals dromites to have hardened, chitin-encrusted skin, compound eyes like those of an insect, and two small antennae protruding from their brows. Called “bug-men” by the ignorant, dromites share far more traits with humans than they do with insects. One major difference between dromites and most other races is their androgynous physiology. Aside from their Grand Queen (female) and their Elected Consort (male), dromites are genderless and possess no sexual characteristics. Personality: Dromites vary in their temperament, but each usually exhibits one of four personality types, depending on the caste that dromite eventually joins. Those of the Fire Caste are often quick to anger, but also quick to laugh and forgive. Those of the Ice Caste are analytical, slow to make decisions, but often right. Those of the Voice Caste are consummate artists, reveling in all types of performance, especially song. Those of the Glimmer Caste always move at high speed, rarely resting in their pursuit of life’s tasks. Each caste identifies with the energy type associated with its creed: fire, cold, sonic, and electricity, respectively. The four major castes are important to dromites, but are not the race’s only form of social organization. Despite being a sexless society, dromites form close emotional bonds with others of their race, especially within the confines of self-selected groups known as life bonds. These relationships are similar to what other races refer to as marriages, but a life bond usually contains more than two members. As older members of a life bond die, new members are brought in, so a life bond persists long after the original members are no longer a part of it. A single life bond may contain members of several castes. Physical Description: Dromites stand about 3 feet tall. They are essentially humanoid in appearance if a bit thin. Their chitinous skin provides dromites with some protection against injury. Dromites have no body hair; where a humanoid might possess a head of hair, a dromite has a thin coating of convoluted chitin that smoothly rises from its skin and extends down the back of its head, neck, and the rest of its body. Dromites are not fully covered in chitin, but it is noticeable on their shoulders, torsos, the backs of their hands, and other vulnerable spots (including their heads). A dromite’s eyes are striking—sparkling, almost luminescent orbs, subdivided into hundreds of tiny cells. Two small antennae sprout from its head; they move in accordance with the creature’s actions or moods. They wear heavy boots and light clothing, sometimes nothing more than a sturdy harness for holding and carrying gear. Relations: Dromites are accepting of other races, though other races sometimes find them a bit too exotic (giving rise to the derogatory term “bug-man”). Half-orcs and humans seem the most prone to using the name, apparently acting out of some inner fear of or prejudice against insects—despite the dromites’ nearly humanoid appearance. Dromite Lands: Dromite city-hives can be found under any land, but are usually secret and have only a few openings to the surface or to some other subterranean location. Since dromites are naturally psionic and adherents of the psionic arts (especially psychokinesis), some city-hives have no physical outlets to the surface or surrounding subterranean tunnels—dromites use permanent psionic portals and psionic powers to get into and out of these most secure city-hives. Despite the location of their hidden cities, dromites have no particular desire to remain underground, and in fact seem driven to spend at least some time on the surface. Thus, some dromites may be found living temporarily or permanently in a humanoid community—if it is one that accepts a variety of races. Each dromite city-hive contains at least one Grand Queen with female characteristics, and one Elected Consort with male characteristics. Both queen and consort are elected on a yearly basis from a pool of the most prominent city-hive residents. After participating in a special communal ceremony, they take on titular leadership roles and assume their gender characteristics. Their most important responsibility is to provide a year’s worth of dromite eggs, which hatch in well guarded nurseries located in the city-hive’s core. From the eggs come dromite infants, which look more or less like most humanoid infants (except that they have antennae). Religion: Dromites hold their Grand Queen and Elected Consort in highest regard, almost as if deities. Because the Grand Queen and Elected Consort are almost completely occupied by their responsibility to keep the race populous, they rarely make pronouncements as a true leader would—but when they do have something to say about a topic, everyone listens. Language: Dromites speak Common. Some learn Terran, which allows them to better communicate with other creatures of the subterranean world. Names: Dromites, when born, are chosen from the nurseries by adult dromites who have entered life bonds. The adopted dromite is named by its new “parents” according to the traditions of the life bond. Thus, dromites have a first name and a life bond family name. First Names: Demisse, Elimu, Fela, Gebre, Idi, Idrissa, Kato, Matunda, Obi, Sefu, Vita, Xolu. Life Bond Family Names: Adanech, Dedanech, Fanech, Gyalech, Marimech, Massawech, Nikech, Ulech. Adventurers: Dromites who are curious about life beyond the city-hive have little trouble securing permission to venture forth and seek their fortunes. Unless a city-hive is actively expanding its borders, an excess of population leads to cramped quarters. Thus, even the less than willing are sometimes pushed out into the world, on a mission not of their choosing.

Duskwalker

Duskwalkers are tall, bipedal, gray-skinned beings with a connection to Pharasma’s Boneyard. They manifest directly on the Material Plane, incarnating from souls that have earned the honor of a second life. The souls that become duskwalkers have often distinguished themselves in the eyes of psychopomps as guardians of the cycle of birth and death. Other than their gray skin, their physical features bear some resemblance to those they held in their previous lives. As such, a typical duskwalker looks mostly human, other than her unusual coloration. However, duskwalkers whose ancestors belonged to other races can manifest with characteristic features such as pointed ears, hairy feet, or even feathers, horns, scales, or tails—though they rarely manifest smaller or larger than Medium.

The first duskwalkers appeared as the result of a bargain between two powerful psychopomps: an olethros mother and a yamaraj. The olethros mother made the case to allow certain souls whose actions helped preserve and protect the cycle of souls, but whose lives had been cut short of what fate had decreed for them to reincarnate once before passing to their final judgment. After a long debate, the yamaraj agreed but imposed a strict limit on the number of duskwalkers that can exist at one time. Whenever this limit has been reached, dead duskwalkers cannot be restored to life. Most duskwalkers accept this limitation and appreciate that the end of their lives opens the door for new lives to begin. Some request that those mourning their deaths also celebrate the birth of a new duskwalker in the near future. The length of time it takes for a new duskwalker to be born when one dies varies, but is rarely more than a year.

When a duskwalker is born, she appears spontaneously in a sanctified place with a connection to death, most often a graveyard or a temple. Duskwalkers do not experience infancy, instead beginning their lives with the appearance and facilities of a roughly 8-year-old human child. These mysterious children always appear cloaked in simple white robes, with a small satchel of food and water by their sides. Duskwalker children mature at a variable rate depending upon the support they receive. A child adopted into a nurturing family or taken into care at a temple matures at a rate similar to that of a human child and develops a healthy balance between her appreciation for life and her interest in death. While duskwalker children almost always appear near settlements, the unusual circumstances of their creation sometimes lead them to be ostracized to the point where they are forced to fend for themselves. Duskwalker children who endure such circumstances reach physical and intellectual maturity rapidly, but they struggle socially and emotionally.

Duskwalker naming conventions are varied. Many duskwalkers prefer to select their own names shortly after they manifest. Duskwalkers who have a good relationship with their surrounding community choose names that follow that community’s traditions. Isolated duskwalkers make up their own conventions, naming themselves after their accomplishments or values or even just selecting a string of syllables that sounds nice to them. The role of duskwalkers has changed somewhat since the beginning of the Age of Lost Omens when prophecy failed. Prior to that time, only souls that were destined to perform roles that would serve the Boneyard’s interests would be reincarnated as duskwalkers. With prophecy in disarray, however, duskwalkers began to shape their own fates. Some duskwalkers receive occasional visitations or messages from psychopomps, intended to steer them toward certain tasks, but they are under no obligation to follow this guidance. Still, because of their origins, most duskwalkers have an innate respect for the cycles of birth and death. They tend to gravitate toward positions and occupations that allow them to protect this cycle, such as hunters of the undead, midwives, morticians, and priests.

Because duskwalkers are so rare, the few duskwalker communities that exist are small and form mostly among individuals united by a common goal, such as adventuring bands of undead hunters. Many duskwalkers go their entire lives without meeting another member of their race. Instead, they usually live among whichever races are most common near the graveyards in which they manifested. Duskwalkers meet with mixed reactions from human communities. Some people look askance at their ashen appearance and the manner of their creation. Others find the way in which duskwalkers relate to death unsettling. Duskwalkers struggle to understand the fear and hesitance with which most other races speak of death, and even cheerful duskwalkers tend toward dark and morbid senses of humor. However, other communities value or even revere duskwalkers for their wisdom, skill at medicine, and proficiency at fighting undead. Duskwalkers get along particularly well with members of other races that share a planar heritage, such as aasimars, aphorites, ganzis, and tieflings, but they share a mutual distrust with dhampirs.

Despite the prejudices they sometimes face, duskwalkers are typically companionable, open-minded, and accepting of people. They seek friendships and romantic relationships with others of many different races. Many duskwalkers seek to build a family with children at some point in their lives. They grow their families by adopting children from their communities, with a particular preference toward children that other prospective parents may look over. Most have no interest in sexual relationships, though, and no duskwalker is capable of bearing or siring biological children.

Ability Score Increase. A different ability score of your choice increases by 1. (Points: 4)
Heated Body. When a creature makes a successful melee attack against you, you may retaliate with a burst of flame as a reaction. The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. It takes 2d10 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The DC of this saving throw is 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Illumination. Your heated body sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet. You can activate or suppress this light as a bonus action. (Points: 2)

Subrace: Dream Dwarf

Dream dwarves feel the hills slumber beneath them. They see the world as a resting giant of inestimable power, and they are caught in the dreaming. While other dwarves shape metal and stone, dream dwarves contemplate and meditate. Wise and cautious, they understand nature in a way at once similar to and wholly alien to the understanding of druids and shamans of other races.

Dream dwarves share a sort of collective subconscious with the world around them, a phenomenon they call the earth dream. The earth dream shapes many aspects of a dream dwarf's life, and no discussion of dream dwarves can be complete without at least some understanding of the earth dream. The earth dream is a powerful force, and members of other races can occasionally feel its pull and become earth dreamers.

Ability Score Increase. A different ability score of your choice increases by 1. (Points: 4)
Earth Dreamer. You know the Guidance cantrip. Once you reach 3rd level, you can cast the Sleep spell once. Once you reach 5th level, you can cast the Levitate spell once.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 8)
Trance. You do not sleep, and thusly magic cannot put you to sleep. Instead, you meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. (Points: 2)

Subrace: Duergar (Grey Dwarf)

Duergar are in some ways even better adapted to underground living than other dwarves. While other dwarves lack the capacity to see completely in the deepest darkness, this is not a problem for duergar.

They have largely rejected the clan-based craft- and smith-oriented culture of their gold, gray, and shield dwarf cousins, choosing instead to live in hunting bands with ever-shifting memberships. Eschewing all trappings of civilization, wild dwarves live like beasts, engaged in an endless hunt for survival. Only those who dare the shadowy depths of Faerûn's southern jungles are even aware of the existence of this barbaric dwarven subrace, for these elusive hunters keep to the depths of their woodland homes.

Ability Score Increase. A different ability score of your choice increases by 1. (Points: 4)

Age. Although elves reach physical maturity at about the same age as humans, the elven understanding of adulthood goes beyond physical growth to encompass worldly experience. An elf typically claims adulthood and an adult name around the age of 100 and can live to be 750 years old.
Alignment. Elves love freedom, variety, and self-expression, so they lean strongly toward the gentler aspects of chaos. They value and protect others’ freedom as well as their own, and they are more often good than not. The drow are an exception; their exile into the Underdark has made them vicious and dangerous. Drow are more often evil than not.
Size. Elves range from under 5 to over 6 feet tall and have slender builds. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Creature Type. Your creature type is Humanoid.

You mystically acquire these proficiencies by drawing them from shared elven memory, and you retain them until you finish your next long rest. (Points: 4)
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and one other language of your choice.
Subrace. Choose one of the following options. (Points: 11)

(Total Points: 32)

Subrace: Astral Elf

Long ago, groups of elves ventured from the Feywild to the Astral Plane to be closer to their gods. Life in the Silver Void has imbued their souls with a spark of divine light. That light manifests as a starry gleam in an astral elf’s eyes. Because nothing ages in the Astral Plane, astral elves from that plane are thousands of years old, and their longevity gives them an unusual perspective on time. Some are prone to melancholy, while others display an absence of feeling. Many look for creative ways to occupy themselves. Whether they choose to live in quiet contemplation or strike out to explore the reaches of the multiverse, they tend to see things through the lens of time as having little or no meaning to them. Astral elves who don’t dwell on the Astral Plane can live to be over 750 years old.

Astral Fire. You know one of the following cantrips of your choice: Dancing Lights, Light, or Sacred Flame. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for it (choose when you select this race). (Points: 2)

Subrace: Avariel Elf

The avariel are winged elves. These rare creatures were more common when the worlds of the multiverse were young, but frequent conflicts with dragons much reduced the winged elves’ number. Still, a few colonies persist here and there in the Material Plane and on the Plane of Air.

Avariel Wings. You have feathery wings sprouting from your shoulders. You have a flying speed of 30 feet, but you fall if you end your turn in the air and nothing else is holding you aloft. To use this speed, you can’t be wearing heavy armor. (Points: 8)
Sky-Attuned Vision. Whenever you make a Wisdom (Perception) check, you can roll a d4 and add the result to the roll. (Points: 3)

Subrace: Drow Elf

Drow are first and foremost a type of elf often called a dark elf, which means they have all the stereotypical elven features but darker. Drow tend to be tall and lithe, and almost supernaturally beautiful. Even a drow down on their luck will pull off their rags with grace and dignity.

Drow Magic. You know the Dancing Lights cantrip. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast Faerie Fire once, and it recharges after a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast Darkness once, and it recharges after a long rest. You can also cast these spells using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level.

Superior Darkvision. Your darkvision has a range of 120 feet, instead of 60. (Points: 1)

Subrace: Eladrin

Eladrin are elves native to the Feywild, a realm of beauty, unpredictable emotion, and boundless magic. An eladrin is associated with one of the four seasons and has coloration reminiscent of that season, which can also affect the eladrin's mood:

Autumn is the season of peace and goodwill, when summer's harvest is shared with all. Winter is the season of contemplation and dolor, when the vibrant energy of the world slumbers. Spring is the season of cheerfulness and celebration, marked by merriment as winter's sorrow passes. Summer is the season of boldness and aggression, a time of unfettered energy.

Some eladrin remain associated with a particular season for their entire lives, whereas other eladrin transform, adopting characteristics of a new season.

When finishing a long rest, any eladrin can change their season. An eladrin might choose the season that is present in the world or perhaps the season that most closely matches the eladrin's current emotional state. For example, an eladrin might shift to autumn if filled with contentment, another eladrin could change to winter if plunged into sorrow, still another might be bursting with joy and become an eladrin of spring, and fury might cause an eladrin to change to summer.

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. When you reach 3rd level, your Fey Step gain an additional effect based on your season; if the effect requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (choose when you select this race):
(a) Autumn. Immediately after you use your Fey Step, up to two creatures of your choice that you can see within 10 feet of you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by you for 1 minute, or until you or your companions deal any damage to the creatures.
(b) Winter. When you use your Fey Step, one creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you before you teleport must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
(c) Spring. When you use your Fey Step, you can touch one willing creature within 5 feet of you. That creature then teleports instead of you, appearing in an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you.
(d) Summer. Immediately after you use your Fey Step, each creature of your choice that you can see within 5 feet of you takes fire damage equal to your proficiency bonus. (Points: 11)

Subrace: Ghost Elf

In the depths of the primordial forests, spectral citadels are home to elves unlike any others. Dubbed "ghost elves" for their eerie appearance, this rarely encountered subrace has given rise to a thousand tales of forest demons and lost civilizations. The legacy of the ghost elves is a tale of conflict, betrayal, and vengeance. After a struggle for survival that stretches back to the fall of the drow, the ghost elves now flourish in cities built on the Ethereal Plane. Suspicious and reclusive, they welcome few strangers into their halls.

Ethereal Magic. When you reach 3rd level, you can cast See Invisibility once, and it recharges after a long rest. When you reach 5th level, you can cast Blink once, and it recharges after a long rest. You can also cast these spells using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 8)

As a High Elf, you have a Keen Mind and a mastery of at least The Basics of magic. In many fantasy gaming worlds, there are two kinds of high elves.

The other type is more Common and more friendly, and often encountered among Humans and other races.

Erudite Speaker. You gain proficiency in one additional language of your choice. (Points: 1)
High Elf Magic. You know one cantrip of your choice from the wizard spell list. At 3rd level, choose one 1st level spell from the Wizard spell list, you can cast the chosen spell once per long rest without expending a spell slot.

Keen Mind. You have proficiency in one skill of your choice. (Points: 3)

Subrace: Mark of Shadow Elf

Elves have carried the Mark of Shadow for thousands of years. These elves are expert entertainers, giving them access to all manner of places and secrets. Known to few, there has always been an elite force of spies and assassins within House Phiarlan. Only special clients—nobles, merchant lords, and the like—have access to these spies.

Cunning Intuition. When you make a Charisma (Performance) or Dexterity (Stealth) check, you can roll a d4 and add the number rolled to the ability check. (Points: 6)
Shape Shadows. You know the Minor Illusion cantrip. Starting at 5th level, you can cast the Invisibility spell once with this trait, and you regain the ability to cast it when you finish a long rest. You can also cast this spell using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level. Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 5)

Sildëyuir Trained. You are proficient with light armor and are proficient with one additional language of your choice. (Points: 3)

Subrace: Mul Daya Elf

Elves of the Mul Daya nation of Bala Ged are set apart from other elves by their relationship with the spirits of their elven ancestors. To the Mul Daya, the spirit world and the mortal realm are different only in terms of their tangibility. Death and the spirits of the dead are as much a part of the lives of the Mul Daya as is the natural world. This is not a macabre sentiment to the elves; they simply view it as the truest sense of the natural order.

Mul Daya elves can often be recognized by their face painting and tattooing. Many Mul Daya decorate their skins with an enwrapping vine motif, and make use of poisons and acids collected at great cost from strange creatures and plants in the depths of Kazandu.

Fetchling

When we arrived at the appointed time, our guide was apparently absent. Jethro pontificated on the complexities about traveling the planes, even to one as near as the Plane of Shadow, and it was several minutes before we felt the presence of reflective eyes watching us from the shadows. When I noticed, I groped for my dagger and found only an empty sheathe. Jethro was disarmed of his bombs, and we stood helpless, paralyzed for a moment.

Our guide, a gaunt humanoid with grey skin and large, round eyes, stepped out of the shadows and presented us with our own weapons.

"Where we're going, there are more dangerous things than I lurking in the darkness. Stay vigilant, and let nothing see your back."

Stained by the Plane of Shadow's endless night, fetchlings were once ordinary men, but are now so different as to be unwelcome anywhere. So, with great disdain for the light their ancestors once enjoyed, they wander from plane to plane, finding safety and opportunity wherever they can.

Children of Shadow

Appearing as men drained of color, the fetchlings are descended from humanoids trapped on the Plane of Shadow. Generation after generation in this insidiously dark place has infused the race with darkness and made them a bleak shadow of their kin. Gaunt features, pale skin, and eyes which reflect brightly at night, are all signature traits of fetchlings, and it is not uncommon for the unlearned to mistake them for undead.

Ultimately, they are closer in kinship to tieflings and other outcast races, for a heritage of the dark imparts no goodwill from other races.

Planeswalkers

Fetchlings are originally native to the Material Plane but have been sequestered on the Plane of Shadow for centuries, implying that the secrets of migrating between the planes has long been known to the fetchlings. To see a fetchling apart from the Plane of Shadow is to see an outsider to your plane, or a recent descendant of one.

Fetchlings can find lucrative business as merchants, middlemen, and guides for those seeking to cross the planar boundaries. They can comfortably exist in both planes, and are reasonably well acquainted with the hazards, however, they are accepted by the denizens of the planes almost nowhere.

Solitary Recluses

Fetchlings will choose to be alone before they will form a group, even with their own kind. The relish the solidarity the shadows provide and the type of wordless isolation that comes with the falling night.

By contrast, they hate being the center of attention, and quite literally hate spotlights (and bright lights of any kind, for that matter.) Only when pursued or outnumbered is a fetchling likely to seek concord with others for any length of time. After the danger has passed, they rarely stick around, and have a reputation for simply vanishing into the night.

Fetchling Names

Fetchling names are derived from the old languages of the Plane of Shadow, and feel rough when said in the accent of one who speaks primarily Common.

Male Names: Arim, Drosil, Jegan, Somar, Yetar, Zoka.

Female Names: Acera, Amelisce, Inva, Renza, Zaitherin.

On a failed save, the creature becomes frightened for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, with disadvantage if it can see you, ending the effect early on a success. A creature that succeeds a saving throw against this effect is immune to it for 24 hours. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses upon finishing a long rest. (Points: 8)

Fimir

The Fimir are cyclopean amphibious humanoid monsters that haunt bogs, fens, and desolate moorlands throughout the northern and western Old World. Their strongholds take the form of forbidding, craggy piles of rock, crudely built in the semblance of the castles of more civilized races. Outsiders seldom stumble upon these settlements, for they are wreathed in thick mist, a miasma which is magically generated by the Fimir to shield their fortresses from prying eyes, and themselves from the harsh glare of the sun.

History Long before the rise of Man, possibly while the High Elves ruled the Old World, the Fimir worshipped the Chaos Gods, and for a time enjoyed their favor. Alas, the Eye of the Gods was swiftly drawn to the more vibrant and amusing race of Man, and the Fimir were abandoned, reduced to seeking boons from bound Daemons where once they had enjoyed the blessings of gods. However, they are still loyal to the Chaos Gods. They seek to destabilize the barrier between the mortal world and the Realm of Chaos, thus aiding the Chaos Gods to their ultimate victory, and so regain their favor.

At some point after the devastating War of the Beard between the empires of the High Elves and the Dwarfs, the Fimir turned their attention to the region that will eventually be known as the Wasteland. A virgin land of lush grasslands and bountiful woods, the Fimir settled in the northern Wasteland after the Dwarfs and High Elves both abandoned the area to tend to their weakened empires. They started to remake the plentiful countryside into their own image. Eventually, they were confronted by the Skaven, who had claimed the southern Wasteland and were themselves transforming the land, poisoning the rivers, cracking the earth, and cutting the forests. Both races came to blows, with the rat men pushing the Fimir back. In the end the war resulted in a great cataclysm that devastated the area and decimated both sides. Whether either race was directly responsible or if it came as a by-product of the war is unknown. Great waves of magic washed over the land and the earth convulsed and cracked. In a night, the strongholds of the Skaven and the holds of the Fimir were thrown down as the very bedrock heaved, broke, and sank. Their armies were destroyed, and their minions crushed or swallowed whole. By dawn the next day, only the land itself remained, nearly empty of life and hiding its wounds under a thick blanket of fog.

The modern Wasteland is filled with fogs, moorland, swamps, and marshes. It's sparsely populated by humans aside for the capital of Marienburg. But the Fimir still retain a presence in the region, now better shaped to their needs as a result of their war with the Skaven.

Nowadays, the Fimir are a dwindling and reclusive race, little given to leaving their swampy fastnesses, appearing only at dawn or dusk for the occasional raid for food and slaves. Occasionally a human witch will seek out a clan of Fimir, for it's rumored that the race has the knowledge of summoning and controlling daemons, a tempting prize for any would-be spellcaster.

Gargoyle

The inanimate gargoyles that perch atop great buildings are inspired by these malevolent creatures of elemental earth that resemble grotesque, fiendish statues. A gargoyle lurks among masonry and ruins, as still as any stone sculpture, and delights in the terror it creates when it breaks from its suspended pose, as well as the pain it inflicts on its victims.

Animate Stone. Gargoyles cling to rocky cliffs and mountains, or roost on ledges in underground caves. They haunt city rooftops, perching vulture-like among the high stone arches and buttresses of castles and cathedrals, and they can hold themselves so still that they appear inanimate. Able to maintain this state for years, a gargoyle makes an ideal sentry.

Deadly Reputation. Gargoyles have a reputation for cruelty. Statues carved into the likenesses of gargoyles appear in the architecture of countless cultures to frighten away trespassers. Although such sculptures are only decorative, real gargoyles can hide among them to ambush unsuspecting victims. A gargoyle might alleviate the tedium of its watch by catching and tormenting birds or rodents, but its long wait only increases its craving for harming sentient creatures.

Cruel Servants. Gargoyles are easily inspired by the cunning of an intelligent master. They enjoy simple tasks such as guarding a master's home, torturing, and killing interlopers, and anything else that involves minimum effort and maximum pain and carnage. Gargoyles sometimes serve demons for their propensity for wanton chaos and destruction. Powerful spellcasters can also easily enlist gargoyle guardians to keep watch over their gates and walls. Gargoyles have the patience and fortitude of stone, and will serve even the cruelest master for years without complaint. Elemental Nature. A gargoyle doesn't require air, food, drink, or sleep.

Shards of Elemental Evil. As Ogrémoch, the evil Prince of Elemental Earth, treads his stony realm, it leaves shards of broken rock in his wake. Imbued with slivers of sentience, these shards thrum with the essence of the elemental prince, growing over long years into vaguely humanoid rock formations that resolve at last into the hard, cruel shapes of gargoyles. Ogrémoch doesn't create gargoyles deliberately, but they are a physical manifestation of his evil. Gargoyles are mockeries of the elemental air that Ogrémoch despises. They are heavy creatures of living stone, yet capable of flight. Like their creator, they possess a fundamental hatred for beings of elemental air, aarakocra in particular, and relish every opportunity to destroy such creatures.

On their home plane, gargoyles carve out earth motes that Ogrémoch hurtles into Aaqa, the domain of the aarakocra and the benevolent Wind Dukes the bird folk serve in the Elemental Plane of Air.

Genasi

Those who think of other planes at all consider them remote, distant realms, but planar influence can be felt throughout the world. It sometimes manifests in beings who, through an accident of birth, carry the power of the planes in their blood. The genasi are one such people, the offspring of genies and mortals.

The Elemental Planes are often inhospitable to natives of the Material Plane: crushing earth, searing flames, boundless skies, and endless seas make visiting these places dangerous for even a short time. The powerful genies, however, don’t face such troubles when venturing into the mortal world. They adapt well to the mingled elements of the Material Plane, and they sometimes visit—whether of their own volition or compelled by magic. Some genies can adopt mortal guise and travel incognito.

During these visits, a mortal might catch a genie’s eye. Friendship forms, romance blooms, and sometimes children result. These children are genasi: individuals with ties to two worlds, yet belonging to neither. Some genasi are born of mortal–genie unions, others have two genasi as parents, and a rare few have a genie further up their family tree, manifesting an elemental heritage that’s lain dormant for generations.

Occasionally, genasi result from exposure to a surge of elemental power, through phenomena such as an eruption from the Inner Planes or a planar convergence. Elemental energy saturates any creatures in the area and might alter their nature enough that their offspring with other mortals are born as genasi.

Heirs to Elemental Power Genasi inherit something from both sides of their dual nature. They resemble humans but have unusual skin color (red, green, blue, or gray), and there is something odd about them. The elemental blood flowing through their veins manifests differently in each genasi, often as magical power.

Seen in silhouette, a genasi can usually pass for human. Those of earth or water descent tend to be heavier, while those of air or fire tend to be lighter. A given genasi might have some features reminiscent of the mortal parent (pointed ears from an elf, a stockier frame and thick hair from a dwarf, small hands and feet from a halfling, exceedingly large eyes from a gnome, and so on).

Genasi almost never have contact with their elemental parents. Genies seldom have interest in their mortal offspring, seeing them as accidents. Many feel nothing for their genasi children at all.

Some genasi live as outcasts, driven into exile for their unsettling appearance and strange magic, or assuming leadership of savage humanoids and weird cults in untamed lands. Others gain positions of great influence, especially where elemental beings are revered. A few genasi leave the Material Plane to find refuge in the households of their genie parents.

Wild and Confident Genasi rarely lack confidence, seeing themselves as equal to almost any challenge in their path. This certainty might manifest as graceful self-assurance in one genasi and as arrogance in another. Such self- confidence can sometimes blind genasi to risk, and their great plans often get them and others into trouble.

Too much failure can chip away at even a genasi’s sense of self, so they constantly push themselves to improve, honing their talents and perfecting their craft.

Genasi Lands As rare beings, genasi might go their entire lives without encountering another one of their kind. There are no great genasi cities or empires. Genasi seldom have communities of their own and typically adopt the cultures and societies into which they are born. 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.

You tend to avoid rash decisions, pausing long enough to consider your options before taking action.

Elemental earth manifests differently from one individual to the next. Some earth genasi always have bits of dust falling from their bodies and mud clinging to their clothes, never getting clean no matter how often they bathe. Others are as shiny and polished as gemstones, with skin tones of deep brown or black, eyes sparkling like agates.

The more human-looking have fiery red hair that writhes under extreme emotion, while more exotic specimens sport actual flames dancing on their heads.

Most water genasi look as if they just finished bathing, with beads of moisture collecting on their skin and hair. They smell of fresh rain and clean water.

Geonid

Also known as rocklings and rock hermits, geonids are small, intelligent cave dwellers that originated on the Elemental Plane of Earth. A geonid's arms and legs come out of a small opening in the bottom of its shell. A geonid can draw its limbs into its shell and close the opening. When it does so, the creature looks like a small boulder. In this state, the geonid can't see and relies on its tremorsense to detect other creatures nearby.

Dark Lairs. Geonids live in natural tunnels and caves. They feed primarily on lizards, rats, slugs, and other vermin, as well as on cave lichen and moss. Geonids like to collect coins and gemstones, and they rarely confront creatures larger than themselves except to rob them or scare them away.

Storytelling is a rich tradition among giff, and it’s not uncommon to see a giff recounting their past exploits to an enraptured crowd. Having a friendly giff nearby when a tavern brawl erupts can also be useful, for a giff can usually more than hold their own when pleasant revelry devolves into fisticuffs. The giff are split into two camps concerning how their name is pronounced. Half of them say it with a hard g, half with a soft g. Disagreements over the correct pronunciation often blossom into hard feelings, loud arguments, and headbutting contests, but rarely escalate beyond that.

Gith

The warlike githyanki and the contemplative githzerai are a sundered people – two cultures that utterly despise one another. The brutal githyanki are trained from birth as warriors, while the githzerai hone their minds to a razor’s edge in their fortresses within Limbo. But before there were githyanki or githzerai, these creatures were a single race enslaved by the illithids. Although they attempted to overthrow their masters many times, their rebellions were repeatedly crushed until a great leader named Gith arose. After much bloodshed, Gith and her followers threw off the yoke of their illithid masters, but another leader named Zerthimon emerged in the aftermath of battle. Zerthimon challenged Gith's motives, claiming that her strict martial leadership and desire for vengeance amounted to little more than another form of slavery for her people. A rift erupted between followers of each leader, and they eventually became the two races whose enmity endures to this day: the Githyanki in the way of Gith, and the Githzerai in the way of Zerthimon. Whether these tall, gaunt creatures were peaceful or savage, cultured or primitive before the illithids enslaved and changed them, none can say. Not even the original name of their race remains from that distant time. The githyanki plunder countless worlds from the decks of their astral vessels and the backs of red dragons. Feathers, beads, gems, and precious metals decorate their armor and weapons – the legendary silver swords with which they cut through their foes. Since winning their freedom from the illithids, the githyanki have become ruthless conquerors under the rulership of their dread lich-queen, Vlaakith. Focused philosophers and austere ascetics, the githzerai pursue lives of rigid order. Lean and muscular, they wear unadorned clothing free of ornamentation, keeping their own counsel and trusting few creatures outside of their own kind. Having turned their backs on their warlike githyanki kin, the githzerai maintain a strict monastic lifestyle, dwelling on islands of order in a vast sea of chaos in the plane of Limbo.

Gnoll

Gnolls are extremely tall, with short torsos, long arms, and long digitigrade legs. Their broad backs slope downward from a thick, short neck toward their midsection. A gnoll’s body is covered in fur, which ranges in color from sandy to grey brown with black spots. Their size and physical characteristics, including a mouth full of powerful and dangerous teeth, lends gnolls a predatory air other races often interpret as dangerous.

Through the deep cultural connection between gnolls and the lands they live in they recognize omens through dreams, visions, and signs. Gnolls instinctively look for such omens to guide them as individuals and within each nomadic group, finding them in many places. Many of these omens are practical, such as the signs of predator activity leading them to resources they can scavenge.

There is a greater cultural belief among gnolls that the omens shared by natural world point to a greater truth concerning all their kind. Whether the prophetic significance of these portents lead toward good or evil ends is a matter of debate. But all gnolls to some extent place great value on recognizing and interpreting these omens.

Gnolls never set up permanent camps, instead following a nomadic lifestyle closely connected to the lands they roam. Gnoll societies are typically found in grasslands, woodlands, savannas, and deserts where they play an important role in their environments as scavengers, consuming dead animal and plant material. For gnolls this is a spiritual duty, and one they are uniquely adapted for, considering their part of the natural cycle an aid to maintaining balance in whatever environment they roam.

Subrace: Gnome Titan

Gnome titans are tough little devils, scrappy in a fight and never surrendering, whatever the odds. They lack the charm and wit of their gnomish cousins but are vastly stronger and tougher. As one might imagine, gnome titans have the mental attitude it takes to be a decent fighter, despite their diminutive size. Because they are so specialized at what they do; gnome titans are very slow to learn new things about themselves and the world around them.

The gnome titans are an incredibly strict, militant race. Their lives revolve completely around honor and combat, precisely in that order. They do not tolerate any blemishes to their reputation, no matter how small, and will respond using the most violent tactics possible.

The device ceases to function after 24 hours (unless you spend 1 hour repairing it to keep the device functioning), or when you use your action to dismantle it; at that time, you can reclaim the materials used to create it. You can have up to three such devices active at a time. When you create a device, choose one of the following options:
Clockwork Toy. This toy is a clockwork animal, monster, or person, such as a frog, mouse, bird, dragon, or soldier. When placed on the ground, the toy moves 5 feet across the ground on each of your turns in a random direction. It makes noises as appropriate to the creature it represents.
Fire Starter. The device produces a miniature flame, which you can use to light a candle, torch, or campfire. Using the device requires your action.

They were thick-bodied and humanoid in form, and were variously said to have brown, black, or reddish-brown hair; some few had red hair, which they believed to be lucky. Spriggans had dull yellow skin and red eyes. They were generally unclean, with greasy hair and foul body odor. Moreover, they tended to grow out their hair to ridiculous lengths, often sporting bushy mustaches, sideburns, and ponytails.

Sizeshift. At 3rd level, as a bonus action, you can force your size to increase for up to 1 minute or until you become incapacitated. While active, your size increases to Large and your weight becomes multiplied by 10. You also have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and your melee weapons become enlarged, dealing an additional die of damage on hit. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. (Points: 6)

You can also cast this spell using any Spell Slots you have of the appropriate level. Constitution is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 5)

Racial Variant: Autognome

Autognomes are mechanical beings built by rock gnomes in their image, usually with a particular purpose in mind. For example, a gnome might build an autognome to be a steadfast colleague or a loyal companion. Sometimes, because of a malfunction or a unique circumstance, an autognome becomes separated from its creator and strikes out on its own. An autognome bears a resemblance to its creator, and most autognomes are programmed to speak and understand Gnomish. The internal components used in an autognome’s manufacture can vary wildly; one autognome might have an actual beating heart in its chest cavity, while another might be powered by stardust or intricate clockwork gears. Roll on the Autognome History table or choose an entry to determine what event set your autognome on the path to adventure. If nothing on the table appeals to you, work with your DM to create an origin story for your autognome. Like gnomes, autognomes can live for centuries, up to 500 years.

AUTOGNOME HISTORY

1	Your creator gave you autonomy and urged you to follow your dreams.
2	Your creator died, leaving you to fend for yourself.

In lean times, forestkith goblins often plan and execute sophisticated raids on humanoid frontier communities for food, preferring snatch-and-run tactics targeting the young. Forestkith goblins excel at ambushes and use well-established tactics to fit the prey they seek. If fighting a larger group, they attack the weakest members with nets first, dragging the entangled victims away quickly to feed on them before going back for the rest.

Racial Variant: Lavastep Goblin

The Lavastep tribe is the most industrious of the goblin tribes, with hard-won knowledge of the geothermal activity in Akoum. Much more than the other tribes, the Lavasteps build surprisingly effective equipment out of the crystal shards and veins of strange metals that occasionally boil up to the surface. The most warlike of the goblin tribes, the Lavasteps frequently harass the kor, elves and humans that have taken residence on the surface.

Lavastep shamans tend to be primitive alchemists and experiment with the strange gases and fluids that emerge from newly formed volcanic fissures. When facing a Lavastep, expect to have clay vials and skin bladders full of acids, gases, slimes and other nasty, quasi-magical concoctions thrown at you.

Lavasteps ingest much more grit than the other tribes, and a typical Lavastep goblin's appearance will be quite wrinkled and gray. Experienced warriors will often take on such a rocky appearance that they can hide nearly undetected among the stalagmites, able to ambush foes, predators or prey.

Goliath

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 them. 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. Their hearts are infused with the cold regard of their frigid realm, leaving each goliath with the responsibility to earn a place in the tribe or die trying.

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 entire group’s survival.

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

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

Fair Play For goliaths, competition exists only when it is supported by a level playing field. Competition measures talent, dedication, and effort. Those factors determine survival in their home territory, not reliance on magic items, money, or other elements that can tip the balance one way or the other. Goliaths happily rely on such benefits, but they are careful to remember that such an advantage can always be lost. A goliath who relies too much on them can grow complacent, a recipe for disaster in the mountains.

This trait manifests most strongly when goliaths interact with other folk. The relationship between peasants and nobles puzzles goliaths. If a king lacks the intelligence or leadership to lead, then clearly the most talented person in the kingdom should take his place. Goliaths rarely keep such opinions to themselves, and mock folk who rely on society’s structures or rules to maintain power.

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

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

In some ways, the goliath drive to outdo themselves feeds into the grim inevitability of their decline and death. A goliath would much rather die in battle, at the peak of strength and skill, than endure the slow decay of old age. Few folk have ever meet an elderly goliath, and even those goliaths who have left their people grapple with the urge to give up their lives as their physical skills decay.

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

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.

Birth names are rarely linked to gender. Goliaths see females and males as equal in all things, and they find societies with roles divided by gender to be puzzling or worthy of mockery. To a goliath, the person who is best at a job should be the one tasked with doing it.

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.

Goliaths present all three names when identifying themselves, in the order of birth name, nickname, and clan name. In casual conversation, they use their nickname.

Birth Names: Aukan, Eglath, Gae-Al, Gauthak, Ilikan, Keothi, Kuori, Lo-Kag, Manneo, Maveith, Nalla, Orilo, Paavu, Pethani, Thalai, Thotham, Uthal, Vaunea, Vimak

Nicknames: Bearkiller, Dawncaller, Fearless, Flintfinder, Horncarver, Keeneye, Lonehunter, Longleaper, Rootsmasher, Skywatcher, Steadyhand, Threadtwister, Twice-Orphaned, Twistedlimb, Wordpainter

Clan Names: Anakalathai, Elanithino, Gathakanathi, Kalagiano, Katho-Olavi, Kolae-Gileana, Ogolakanu, Thuliaga, Thunukalathi, Vaimei-Laga

Racial Variant: Death Goliath

Long ago, a large band of cloud giants traveled to the Shadowfell in search of a way to preserve their collapsing empire. Desperate to save themselves and their way of life, they collectively made a bet with the Raven Queen, a mysterious god of death and memory who dwells on that plane. Accounts of that bet and its outcome vary: some say the Raven Queen answered every riddle the giants posed until the giants collapsed from exhaustion, while others describe a series of increasingly improbable events favoring the Raven Queen in every wager. What is certain is that the giants severely underestimated the Raven Queen. When they lost their wager, the Shadowfell became their home, and they have grudgingly served the Raven Queen ever since. Death Goliaths descend from these giants.

Grung

Grungs are aggressive froglike humanoids found in rain forests and tropical jungles. They are fiercely territorial and see themselves as superior to most other creatures.

Grung society is a caste system. Each caste lays eggs in a separate hatching pool, and juvenile grungs join their caste upon emergence from the hatchery. All grungs are a dull greenish gray when they are born, but each individual takes on the color of its caste as it grows to adulthood. From lowest to highest caste, grungs can be green, blue, purple, red, orange, or gold.

All grungs secrete a substance that is harmless to them but poisonous to other creatures. A grung also uses venom to poison its weapons. Grungs are always on the lookout for creatures they can capture and enslave. Grungs use slaves for all manner of menial tasks, but mostly they just like bossing them around. Slaves are fed mildly poisoned food to keep them lethargic and compliant. A creature afflicted in this way over a long period of time becomes a shell of its former self and can be restored to normalcy only by magic. Being amphibious, grungs require water to live; any grung that fails to immerse itself in water for at least 1 hour during a day becomes quite exhausted.

Green grungs are the tribe's warriors, hunters, and laborers, and blue grungs work as artisans and in other domestic roles. Supervising and guiding both groups are the purple grungs, which serve as administrators and commanders. Red grungs are the tribe's scholars and magic users. They are superior to purple, blue, and green grungs and given proper respect even by grungs of higher status. Higher castes include orange grungs, which are elite warriors that have authority over all lesser grungs, and gold grungs, which hold the highest leadership positions. A tribe's sovereign is always a gold grung.

A grung normally remains in its caste for life. On rare occasions, an individual that distinguishes itself with great deeds can earn an invitation to join a higher caste. Through a combination of herbal tonics and ritual magic, an elevated grung changes color and is inducted into its new caste in the same way that a juvenile of the caste would be. From then on, the grung and its progeny are members of the higher caste.

Hadozee

Hadozees are people with simian features that long ago adapted to live among the tall trees of their home world. They are natural climbers, with feet as dexterous as their hands, even to the extent of having opposable thumbs. Membranes of skin hang loosely from their arms and legs. When stretched taut, these membranes enable a hadozee to glide. The first hadozees were hunted by large natural predators.

Half-Medusa

Half-Medusa are born from either a peculiar relationship between a Medusa and another humanoid, or in the rare occurrence that a creature bargains for Immortality and Beauty only to have the beginnings of the Medusa's curse placed upon them. These creatures take on more of an appearance of their monstrous parent, while having more personality characteristics of their humanoid parent. These creatures have scaly skin, usually in hues ranging from tanned brown to hues of green and blue. There is no hair on their bodies aside from the Snake appendages that adorn their heads. Generally, they can have a variety and range of personalities, but all seem to have an underlining predatory streak within them. They are often ostracized from normal cultures due to their heritage, which leads to many of them attempting to disguise themselves or pass themselves off as Tieflings.

Half-Orc

Whether united under the leadership of a mighty warlock or having fought to a standstill after years of conflict, orc and human tribes sometimes form alliances, joining forces into a larger horde to the terror of civilized lands nearby. When these alliances are sealed by marriages, half-orcs are born. Some half-orcs rise to become proud chiefs of orc tribes, their human blood giving them an edge over their full-blooded orc rivals. Some venture into the world to prove their worth among humans and other more civilized races. Many of these become adventurers, achieving greatness for their mighty deeds and notoriety for their barbaric customs and savage fury.

Scarred and Strong Half-orcs’ grayish pigmentation, sloping foreheads, jutting jaws, prominent teeth, and towering builds make their orcish heritage plain for all to see. Half-orcs stand between 5 and 7 feet tall and usually weigh between 180 and 250 pounds.

Orcs regard battle scars as tokens of pride and ornamental scars as things of beauty. Other scars, though, mark an orc or half-orc as a former slave or a disgraced exile. Any half-orc who has lived among or near orcs has scars, whether they are marks of humiliation or of pride, recounting their past exploits and injuries. Such a half-orc living among humans might display these scars proudly or hide them in shame.

The Mark of Gruumsh The one-eyed god Gruumsh created the orcs, and even those orcs who turn away from his worship can’t fully escape his influence. The same is true of half-orcs, though their human blood moderates the impact of their orcish heritage. Some half-orcs hear the whispers of Gruumsh in their dreams, calling them to unleash the rage that simmers within them. Others feel Gruumsh’s exultation when they join in melee combat—and either exult along with him or shiver with fear and loathing. Half-orcs are not evil by nature, but evil does lurk within them, whether they embrace it or rebel against it.

Beyond the rage of Gruumsh, half-orcs feel emotion powerfully. Rage doesn’t just quicken their pulse, it makes their bodies burn. An insult stings like acid, and sadness saps their strength. But they laugh loudly and heartily, and simple bodily pleasures—feasting, drinking, wrestling, drumming, and wild dancing—fill their hearts with joy. They tend to be short-tempered and sometimes sullen, more inclined to action than contemplation and to fighting than arguing. The most accomplished half-orcs are those with enough self-control to get by in a civilized land.

Tribes and Slums Half-orcs most often live among orcs. Of the other races, humans are most likely to accept half-orcs, and half-orcs almost always live in human lands when not living among orc tribes. Whether proving themselves among rough barbarian tribes or scrabbling to survive in the slums of larger cities, half-orcs get by on their physical might, their endurance, and the sheer determination they inherit from their human ancestry.

(Total Points: 32)

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

Male Orc Names: Dench, Feng, Gell, Henk, Holg, Imsh, Keth, Krusk, Mhurren, Ront, Shump, Thokk

Female Orc Names: Baggi, Emen, Engong, Kansif, Myev, Neega, Ovak, Ownka, Shautha, Sutha, Vola, Volen, Yevelda

Racial Variant: Sharakim

To an untrained eye, a sharakim could pass for an orc; but they are human. As some form of divine punishment, a band of humans were cursed, and their bloodline has carried this taint for generations. Sharakim stand between 5 feet and 6 feet tall and weigh 140 to 275 pounds. Their skin ranges from light gray to coal black; their hair is thick but not coarse, and such a deep black it seems almost blue, though some sharakim sport silver or white streaks. They usually have either jet-black or slate-gray eyes, and more rarely eyes of dark blue or dark green. Small, curved horns protrude from both temples, and their lower canines are sharp tusks that jut up past their upper lips. Sharakim noses are usually short and snubbed, with wide nostrils.

Halfling

The comforts of home are the goals of most halflings’ lives: a place to settle in peace and quiet, far from marauding monsters and clashing armies; a blazing fire and a generous meal; fine drink and fine conversation. Though some halflings live out their days in remote agricultural communities, others form nomadic bands that travel constantly, lured by the open road and the wide horizon to discover the wonders of new lands and peoples. But even these wanderers love peace, food, hearth, and home, though home might be a wagon jostling along a dirt road or a raft floating downriver.

Small and Practical The diminutive halflings survive in a world full of larger creatures by avoiding notice or, barring that, avoiding offense. Standing about 3 feet tall, they appear relatively harmless and so have managed to survive for centuries in the shadow of empires and on the edges of wars and political strife. They are inclined to be stout, weighing between 40 and 45 pounds.

Halflings’ skin ranges from tan to pale with a ruddy cast, and their hair is usually brown or sandy brown and wavy. They have brown or hazel eyes. Halfling men often sport long sideburns, but beards are rare among them and mustaches even more so. They like to wear simple, comfortable, and practical clothes, favoring bright colors.

Halfling practicality extends beyond their clothing. They’re concerned with basic needs and simple pleasures and have little use for ostentation. Even the wealthiest of halflings keep their treasures locked in a cellar rather than on display for all to see. They have a knack for finding the most straightforward solution to a problem, and have little patience for dithering.

Kind and Curious Halflings are an affable and cheerful people. They cherish the bonds of family and friendship as well as the comforts of hearth and home, harboring few dreams of gold or glory. Even adventurers among them usually venture into the world for reasons of community, friendship, wanderlust, or curiosity. They love discovering new things, even simple things, such as an exotic food or an unfamiliar style of clothing.

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

Blend into the Crowd Halflings are adept at fitting into a community of humans, dwarves, or elves, making themselves valuable and welcome. The combination of their inherent stealth and their unassuming nature helps halflings to avoid unwanted attention.

Halflings work readily with others, and they are loyal to their friends, whether halfling or otherwise. They can display remarkable ferocity when their friends, families, or communities are threatened.

Pastoral Pleasantries Most halflings live in small, peaceful communities with large farms and well-kept groves. They rarely build kingdoms of their own or even hold much land beyond their quiet shires. They typically don’t recognize any sort of halfling nobility or royalty, instead looking to family elders to guide them. Families preserve their traditional ways despite the rise and fall of empires.

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

Harengon

Harengons originated in the Feywild, where they spoke Sylvan and embodied the spirit of freedom and travel. In time, these rabbitfolk hopped into other worlds, bringing the fey realm's exuberance with them, and learning new languages as they went.

Harengons are bipedal, with the characteristic long feet of the rabbits they resemble and fur in a variety of colors.

Harpy Spawn

Taking glee in suffering and death, the sadistic harpy is always on the hunt for prey. Its sweet song has lured countless adventurers to their deaths, drawing them in close for the harpy to kill and then consume.

A harpy combines the body, legs, and wings of a vulture with the torso, arms, and head of a human. Its wicked talons and bone club make it a formidable threat in combat, and its eyes reflect the absolute evil of its soul.

Divine Curse. Long ago, an elf wandering a forest heard birdsong so pure and wholesome that she was moved to tears. Following the music, she came upon a clearing where stood a handsome elf youth who had also paused to hear the bird's song. This was Fenmarel Mestarine, a reclusive elf god. His divine presence stole her heart as he fled, vanishing into the woods as if he was never there. Though the elf searched the woods and called for her stranger, she found no sign of his passage. Driven to despair by her longing, she begged the gods to help her. Aerdrie Faenya, elf goddess of the sky, heard the elf's cries and was moved to her aid. She appeared as the bird whose song had entranced the outcast god, then taught that song of beauty and seduction to the elf.

When her singing failed to draw Fenmarel Mestarine to her side, the elf cursed the gods, invoking a dreadful power and transforming her into the first harpy. The curse worked its magic on the elf's spirit as well as her body, turning her desire for love into a hunger for flesh, even as her beautiful song continued to draw creatures to her deadly embrace.

Harpy Song. To hear a harpy's song is to hear music more beautiful than anything else in the world. A traveler that succumbs to the entrancing effect of that singing is compelled to blunder toward its source. A harpy sometimes charms victims before it attacks, but a more effective use of its song is to lure prey over cliffs, into bogs and quicksand, or into deadly pits. Creatures trapped or incapacitated then become easy targets for the harpy's wrath. Sadistic Cowards. Harpies haunt bleak coastal cliffs and other places hazardous to non-flying creatures. Harpies have no interest in a fair fight, and they never attack unless they have a clear advantage. If a fight turns against a harpy, it lacks the cunning to adapt and will flee and go hungry rather than risk straight-up combat. When they attack, harpies play with their food, delighting in the "music" their victims make as they scream. A harpy takes its time dismembering a helpless foe and can spend days torturing a victim before the merciful end.

Gruesome Collectors. Harpies take shiny baubles, valuable objects, and other trophies from their victims, sometimes fighting with each other for the right to claim the choicest prizes. When no valuable objects can be found, a harpy takes hair, bones, or body parts to line its nest. A harpy's lair is usually hidden in remote ruins, where adventurers can discover valuable treasure and magic hidden beneath foul piles of offal.

Spawn. Taking after their harpy parents, the harpy spawn exhibits similar traits and attitudes.

Luring Song. At 3rd level, as an action, you can sing a magical melody for up to 1 minute, during which you must concentrate on it as if concentrating on a spell. A humanoid or giant within 300 feet of you that can hear the song must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (choose when you pick this race) + your proficiency bonus), or become charmed until the song ends. You must take a bonus action on your subsequent turns to continue singing. While charmed by you, a target is incapacitated and ignores the songs of other harpy spawn or harpies. If the charmed target is more than 5 feet away from you, the target must move on its turn toward you by the most direct route, trying to get within 5 feet. It doesn't avoid opportunity attacks, but before moving into damaging terrain, such as lava or a pit, and whenever it takes damage from a source, the target can repeat the saving throw. A charmed target can also repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. If the saving throw is successful, the effect ends on it. A target that successfully saves is immune to your luring song for the next 24 hours. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. (Points: 5)
Visage of Desire. At 5th level, as an action, you can project a vision into the mind of a creature you can see within 30 feet of you that isn't a construct or undead, showing it achieving whatever it most desires. An affected creature must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (save DC = 8 + your Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma modifier (choose when you pick this race) + your proficiency bonus), or drop whatever it is holding and become paralyzed until the end of its next turn. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest. (Points: 3)
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and another language of your choice.

Harssaf

As harsh and unyielding as their desert homes, harssafs don't typically deal congenially with others. Harssafs live in and wander the great deserts and barren places of the world. Seemingly composed of the fire and sand of their home terrain, they live in nomadic bands and frequently raid settlements within or near their desert homes.

Harssafs live mostly insular lives, traveling and raiding throughout a massive section of desert. Harssafs have no compunctions about killing when necessary, but they take no particular pride in it. Killing to the harssafs is a necessary skill to survive the coming sandstorms that will carry the great desert to the far reaches of the world.

A harssaf prefers to ambush its opponents, hiding among the dunes near the desert edge in sand form or just beneath the sands and using its blindsense to determine when potential targets wander by. Once engaged in melee, a harssaf ignites its weapons and closes to melee, wielding its twin kukris with deadly efficiency. Most clans of harssafs include monks that specialize in the arts of grappling, and one of these can frequently be found as part of a raiding party. These individuals have the unenviable job of subduing spellcasters, especially those that exhibit any signs of casting cold magic.

Harssafs worship no particular deity, but rather worship the desert itself. They believe their race once spawned from the desert, and that one day the desert will rise up to swallow the earth in its warm embrace. Only they, the faithfully prepared, will survive the onslaught of the desert. A few worship powerful lords of the Elemental Plane of Fire.

Hegeyokai

Hengeyokai are intelligent, shapechanging animals, able to shift freely between human and animal forms, as well as a bipedal, animalistic form. Several subraces exist, defined by the kind of animal form they can assume. They are typically found on the fringes of human-settled lands, where they can mingle in human form but retreat to solitude when they desire. Hengeyokai are not found in Rokugan.

In animal form, hengeyokai are almost indistinguishable from normal animals except through magic. Naturally, their behavior often provides proof of their intelligence, so careful observation of a hengeyokai in animal form can reveal that it is not what it appears to be.

Hengeyokai can also assume a bipedal, animalistic ("hybrid") form. They stand on their hind legs (or similar appendages) to the height of their human form. The front paws, wings, or fins change into hands, capable of gripping and using normal equipment. The rest of the body retains the general appearance of the animal, including fur, feathers, wings, tail, and other characteristic features, but in the overall shape of a humanoid head and torso.

In human form, hengeyokai look exactly like normal humans, though (like lycanthropes) they often display some feature associated with their animal form. For example, a sparrow hengeyokai might have a sharply pointed nose, while a rat hengeyokai might have beady eyes and a long mustache.

Hellbred

Sometimes, a soul recognizes the great evil he committed in life and truly wishes to repent. Most of these unfortunates become specters that haunt Dis, repenting only as they realize their true fate. Others ascend to the heavens, having sought forgiveness before it was too late. Hellbred fall in the middle. They repent in the moment before their condemnation to Hell, yet too late to find salvation. The lords of good and justice, suspicious that the condemned soul merely seeks escape for selfish reasons, instead reincarnate the individual to give him one last chance at salvation. In exchange, this newborn creature, called a hellbred, gains impressive powers to better thwart the minions of Hell and maybe - in some way - prove his worth to the gods of good to gain clemency. The dukes of Hell do not forget those who have escaped their clutches. A hellbred faces a difficult path to salvation, but he fights in the name of justice with unmatched fervor.

Most hellbred are truly damned, despite their best efforts. While they sought repentance, they asked for it too late. Only the most epic of heroic acts can release them from their bond to Hell. Thus, a hellbred embarks on one seemingly doomed or impossible quest after another. A hellbred must prove his worth to the lords of good, but the laws encoded in the Pact Primeval ensure that only the most exceptional hellbred ascend to the celestial planes. Most still end up in Hell, where devils await to extract a hideous price for their daring. A hellbred must complete a truly legendary act - such as singlehandedly saving a city from invaders, destroying a duke or archduke of Hell, annihilating a potent artifact of evil, and so forth - to earn salvation. Most die long before achieving such goals, as they throw themselves into their crusade with the reckless abandon of the damned.

The Scourging The Scourging transforms a character into a creature known as a hellbred. The powers of good and evil - warring for a hellbred's soul - rend and twist him into a new form.

Their physical form is that of a humanoid with dark red, smooth skin, or sometimes green scales. A hellbred usually has horns, though their exact form varies. He might have a single horn in the center of their forehead, a pair of short, stubby horns, or large horns similar to those of a ram. Their eyes shine with a sinister, red glow. These physical aspects are a parting gift from a hellbred's onetime diabolic masters, serving as a reminder of the sins of their previous life.

While a hellbred's outer body is a product of Hell, G inner mind and soul are purged and cleaned by the powers of good. He retains shadowy, vague memories of G past. The sight of a onetime ally or enemy triggers a vague sense of unease or pain, but details or exact memories are no more than shards of a split second of the past. Freed from the burden of guilt and the influences of those who drove him to evil, a hellbred is free to seek their own path.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells (choose when you select this race). (Points: 5)

Hexblood

Where wishing fails, ancient magic can offer a heart’s desire—at least, for a time. Hexbloods are individuals infused with eldritch magic, fey energy, or mysterious witchcraft. Some who enter into bargains with hags gain their deepest wishes but eventually find themselves transformed. These changes evidence a hag’s influence: ears that split in forked points, skin in wild shades, lengthy hair that regrows if cut, and an irremovable living crown. Along with these marks, hexbloods manifest hag-like traits, such as long life, darkvision, and a variety of magical methods to beguile the senses and avoid the same. While many hexbloods gain their lineage after making a deal with a hag, others reveal their nature as they age—particularly if a hag influenced them early in life or even before their birth. Many hexbloods turn to lives of adventure, seeking to discover the mysteries of their magic, to forge a connection with their fey natures, or to avoid a hag that obsesses over them.

Heir of Hags

One way hags create more of their kind is through the creation of hexbloods. Every hexblood exhibits features suggestive of the hag whose magic inspires their powers. This includes an unusual crown, often called a “eldercross” or “witch’s turn.” This living, garland-like part of a hexblood’s body extends from their temples and wraps behind the head, serving as a visible mark of the bargain between hag and hexblood, a debt owed, or a change to come.

Although annis hags can easily tear a grown man apart, they love hunting children, preferring their flesh above all others. They use the flayed skin of such victims to make supple leather, and a hag's lair often shows the signs of this industry.

Dusk hags resemble gnarled crones with shriveled orange skin, tangled gray hair, and eyes that burn like hot coals.

Tales talk of ambitious wizards, frantic monarchs, and desperate heroes undertaking quests or making bargains with a dusk hag in exchange for its prophecies and visions of the future. But the information gained from a dusk hag often has a way of causing more pain than joy. Like all hags, dusk hags enjoy causing strife to those who bargain with them, and find ways to twist and turn promises to their own advantage. The Dusk Hag Prophecies table provides examples of the sort of dreams dusk hags might share with unsuspecting sleepers. You share some of their powers.

This damage increases to 3d6 at level 5, 4d6 at level 11, and to 5d6 at level 17. Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest. (Points: 5)
