Homebrew Wildhunt Shifter Species Details
GETH 'S ANCIENT HERITAGE ROSE U P FROM DEEP WITHIN
him, spreading out from the core of his being. Some shifters
manifested terrible claws, others massive fangs, still others
astounding speed or heightened senses. Geth's gift from
his /ycanthrope ancestors was sheer toughness. Strength
seeped into his bones and flooded his flesh. His skin hardened,
and his hair became coarse like an animal's tough
hide. A sense of invincibility spread through him. For the
moment at least, he felt unstoppable!
-Don Bassingthwaite, The Binding Stone
Shifters are sometimes called the weretouched, as
many believe they are the descendants of humans and
lycanthropes. Whatever their origins, shifters have
evolved into a unique race. They are humanoids with a
bestial aspect; while they can't fully change shape, they
can temporarily enhance their animalistic features-a
state they call shifting. Each shifter walks on the knife's
edge between the wilds and the world around them.
Do they embrace their primal instincts or the path of
civilization?
Wildhunt Shifter Traits
Shifter TraitsAge
Shifters are quick to mature both physically and
emotionally, reaching young adulthood at age 10. They
rarely live to be more than 70 years old.
Alignment
Shifters tend toward neutrality, being
more focused on survival than concepts of good and
evil. A love of personal freedom can drive shifters toward
chaotic alignments.

weight randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:

Darkvision
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.
Shifting
As a bonus action, you can assume a more
bestial appearance. This transformation lasts for 1
minute, until you die, or until you revert to your normal
appearance as a bonus action. When you shift, you gain
temporary hit points equal to your level + your Constitution
modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point). You
also gain additional benefits that depend on your shifter
subrace, described below.
Once you shift, you can't do so again until you finish a
short or long rest.
Languages
You can speak, read, and write Common
WildHunt
Wildhunt shifters are sharp and insightful. Many are
constantly alert, ever wary for possible threats. Others
focus on their intuition, searching within. Wildhunt
shifters are excellent hunters, and they also tend to become
the spiritual leaders of shifter communities.
While shifted, you have advantage, on wisdom checks,and no creature within 30ft of you can make an attack roll with advantage against you, unless you're incapacitated
