Homebrew Flora Species Details

Originating from the feywild, Flora are among the many fantastical fey peoples. Their origin isn’t entirely clear in the history of the feywild, yet their culture spreads far and wide. A young Flora, or Seedling, spends its childhood as all seedlings do, careless, joyful, full of the magical whimsy of a fey child. When a seedling comes of age they begin their Bloom and fully mature out of childhood, gaining the physical traits of their Greenmother. A Greenmother in Flora culture is the flower spirit you gain your physical features from, and what best matches your personality. Most all Flora have green hued skin, yet this may vary depending on one’s Greenmother.

For Example, A seedling who blooms with the Greenmother of the Rose will have sharp thorns along their skin and velvety red pedaled hair. And one who blooms with the Greenmother of the Dandelion will have soft peachy fuzz along their skin and bouncy white or yellow hair. Those with the Greenmother of the Cactus Flower will have thicker skin with protective needles and wildly vibrant pink or red pedaled hair.

Flora Traits

As a Flora, you have the following racial traits.

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.
