Homebrew Criocentaur Species Details

The origins of this race are still a bit unclear, especially since not to many sheepfolk exist in this world, but it is likely that Duttur, goddess of sheep and protector of flocks, was involved.

Soft yet strong

Criocentaurs have the uppper body of a humanoid and the lower body of a sheep, displaying all the human variety of skin tones. Their ears are usually long and pointy, sometimes resembling those of an elv and sometimes those of a sheep.

Wool

Built for the cold, they can withstand the toughest of cold weather and happily prefer it, finding themselves miserable in the heat. They also enjoy vast open landscapes and hills. The colour of their wool is usually either white, black, brown, grey or cream, there are exceptions, but those are the most common.

 

Criocentaur Traits

Your sheepfolk character has a number of traits in common with all other sheepfolk.

Ability Score Increase

Your Wisdom score increases by 2, and your Charisma and Constitution score increases by 1.

Age

Criocentaurs mature and age at about the same rate as humans.

Alignment

Most crio-centaur are lawful good. As a rule, they are good-hearted and kind, hate to see others in pain, and have no tolerance for oppression. They are also very orderly and traditional, leaning heavily on the support of their community and the comfort of their old ways.

Size

Criocentaurs stand between 5 and 6 feet tall. Your size is Medium.

Speed

Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Hooves

Your hooves are natural melee weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Equine Build

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag.

Though ladders and stairs proof to be a bit of a challenge, you are able to climb up steep rocky slopes with ease. Though finding the right path along such a wall does require some careful planing regarding each step, therefore when you make such a climb, each foot of movement costs you 4 extra feet, instead of the normal 1 extra foot.

Thick wool

Due to your thick wool fur, you have a resistance to cold damage. It keeps you very warm during cold circumstances. On the flipside, you get very hot very easily.

Peripheral vision

Thanks to your rectangular pupils you have a field of vision between 270 and 320 degrees, therefore granting you proficiency in perception. 

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.
