Homebrew Ardoni Species Details

The Ardoni are average except for their Song wielding.

Ardoni Names: 

Ardoni called by their first name, then their clan name (either Voltaris, Sendaris, Nestoris, Kaltaris, or Mendoris). 

Male: Ingressus, Tygren, Zinaida, Lucidius, Thalleous, Osivian, Galleous, Achillean, Hubris, Aegus, Zulius, Siderian, Galadar, Senn

Female: Ria, Val, Urani, Hedari

Clan Names: either Voltaris, Sendaris, Nestoris, Kaltaris, or Mendoris

+2 to ability scores in any combination, +2 on Songwielding

They have a seventh ability score called Songwielding. It increases by one every five levels, and can be increased on Ability Score Improvements (but not above 20). Using this, one can determine their Song Power, or the energy they use to wield songs. Their Songwielding modifier times 2 plus Ardoni Class level equals their Song power. Each turn, you regain 1d4 + half of the Songwielding modifier (round down, minimum of 1). 

There are some weapons that can be used exclusively by Ardoni: Guard Staff and Double Bladed Staff. Each is Versatile and Finesse, but Guard Staff gives +1 AC and 1d6 damage (or 1d8 with 2 hands), whereas Double Bladed Staff deals 1d10 (or 1d12 when used with 2 hands). 

Ardoni Traits
