Homebrew Half-Bugbear Species Details

Like many of the other half races, the birth of the character would be somewhat unnatural. While I haven’t set much of his story in stone yet, I believe he would be born through the powers of a mountain witch. Through one way or another, she would bargain with a strong bugbear in the region to gain his powers magically, mix it into a potion and give it to another witch in her coven. As far as I’ve gotten at the moment he would be the only one born in this manner and be the sole member of his race but I also couldn’t see this witch letting such as power rest.

Within 60', a creature with darkvision can see in darkness as if the darkness were dim light, so areas of darkness are only lightly obscured as far as that creature is concerned. However, the creature can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
