Homebrew Fraux Species Details

 

Fraux stand around the same height as a human, tending to be a little taller, but very slender. They have lanky arms, and shorter legs, with long torsos and small almost decorative seeming wings which extend from their backs. The smaller Kyropteri wings being massive by comparison, despite being frequently half the size of their Fraux cousins. 

Creating Your Character

At 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race or of a beast race. If you select a beast race such as the Kyropteri or the Fraux in this section, follow these additional rules during character creation.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores above 20.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. 

Creature Type

Every creature in D&D, including each player character, has a special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. A race in this chapter tells you what your character’s creature type is.

 

Life Span

The typical life span of a player character in the D&D multiverse is about a century, assuming the character doesn’t meet a violent end on an adventure. Members of some races, such as dwarves and elves, can live for centuries. Fraux, however, have a life span of about a century.

Height and Weight

Player characters, regardless of race, typically fall into the same ranges of height and weight that humans have in our world.
