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.
