Homebrew Awakened Bear Species Details

Once, perhaps long ago, you were a simple bear, concerned with survival, domination, and procreation. But through some magical means, you have found yourself grow more and more aware of the world around you and the many creatures that inhabit it along with you.

Awakened Bear Traits

Your awakened bear character has the following traits.

Ability Score Increase

Your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Strength score increases by 1.

Age

Despite being awakened, you still age like a normal bear, reaching maturity at age 4 with an average lifespan of 25 years.

Alignment

Along with your newly-found sentience comes the burden of having a moral compass. Natural instincts might still rage wild inside of you, pushing you towards more chaotic behaviour.

Size

Bearfolk are typically over 6 feet tall, with some standing over 7 feet. Your size is Medium.

Here’s how to determine your height and weight randomly, starting with rolling a size modifier:

Size modifier = 2d10

Height = 5 feet + 6 inches + your size modifier in inches

Weight in pounds = 180 + (2d6 × your size modifier)

Speed

Your base walking speed is 30 feet. Your climbing speed is equal to your walking speed.

Darkvision

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.

Claws

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

Grizzly Appearance

You have proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Keen Smell

You have advantage on Perception checks that rely on smell.

Languages

You can speak Common. You can also communicate with bears, although they'll likely have a hard time understanding complex ideas.
