Homebrew Experimented Species Details
The Beast Within
Whenever in your life you wake up and you notice some force has shaped your body and mind. A change that connects what used to be you, and a monster. Some Experimented can hide it, though most suffer and struggle with a formidable expression of their true inner nature, that emerges with the monster's personality The monsterwithin is a pool of powerful instincts, and its influence is revealed by a your personality: a Mimic-Born may be emotionless and distant, driven by predatory instincts, while a Illithid-born might be drawn to find and get tunnel vision to find knowledge. When a Experimented fully embraces the monster within they show physical changes for a short period of time.
A Experimented abilities are reflected by the monster they are living with. The four subraces below show wich mosters are avalible at this current time:
- Mimic-Born: A creature of many apperances but is emotionless and struggles to form connections, has a large appetite with a poisioness bite.
- Illithid-Born: A creature who consumes knowledge and can hold information easier, they are disintrested in those who dont have anything they can't offer. Has telenetic abilities.
- Displacer-Born: A creature that your able to tell where it is at times, and prefers to avoid things as much as possible, they are able to produce tenticles for a short period of time.
- Succubi-Born: A creature that likes to charm and control its prey, they are social creatures and like to see it they can find someone they like.
While the beast within certainly has a physical impact on a shifter, it has a spiritual and psychological effect, as well. Two beasthide shifters share the same special ability, but if one has the aspect of the boar and the other is more like a bear, they’ll be quite different in personality. With any shifter, identifying the beast within is a crucial part of understanding the character.
