Homebrew Cervitaur Species Details

Cervitaurs are a race native to the Feywild. They resemble centaurs, although they have the lower half of a deer and are considerably smaller than centaurs. In the Feywild, they are messengers and guardians of the forest. They may or may not have antlers, and some have ears resembling deer while others have ears which more closely resemble elves or humans.

Cervitaur Traits

Your cervitaur character has a variety of natural abilities as a creature of the Feywild.

Hooves

Your hooves are natural light melee weapons. Using them to attack deals damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier. If you chose to make another light weapon attack as a bonus action, it can only be another hoof attack.

Because of the noise of these hooves, you have disadvantage on all stealth checks made while you are moving over a stone, cobbled, or similarly hard surface.

Lower Half

You cannot wear boots, pants, or anything that is worn on the legs or waist area except for belts and specially made armor and saddles. All armor you wear that normally would include a lower half must be specially made to accommodate you, doubling the cost. You cannot ride mounts.

Mobility

Because of your deer half, you move differently than most creatures. You can jump twice as high or far as a typical humanoid. However, your movement while climbing is half that of a humanoid.

Innate Fey Spellcasting

As a Fey creature, you are able to cast Speak with Animals as a cantrip.

Prey Nature

Cervitaurs are naturally timid creatures. You have disadvantage on saving throws against being frightened.

You are considered both a Fey and a Humanoid. Any magical or spell effect which applies to either of these applies to you.

Your Dexterity score increases by 2.

Age

Cervitaurs reach maturity at around the same age as humans, although they often live to be as old as elves, sometimes even reaching 800.

Alignment

Keen Senses
