Homebrew Fenral Species Details

These... almost dragonborn or lizardfolk in physical structure, I've never seen anything like them! Tall, gray, rounded scales, long tails, and those markings... What are these creatures? They seem so civilized, with their woven robes, carpentry- I believe I even saw one wearing glasses! Stars above, how exciting is this? I've discovered a new intelligent species!

Fenrali are a strange species. Originating from a sort of lizard or newt, they have lived undetected, closed off from other societies, for perhaps centuries. It is a feat quite grand, with their towering architecture and strange appearance. But now that they have been rediscovered, the full extent of their skills and knowledge is slowly being uncovered as they begin to reenter the rest of the world.

Lizardlike Build

A Fenral is easily recognizable, due to their unique build and appearance. And average Fenral is usually tall, rather slim, with a long tail and soft underbelly. They have a long, rigid snout with jagged teeth, usually with one pair that is twice as long, and small slits for nostrils. One generally has reptilian eyes, ranging from golden to yellow colors, and most likely the most notable feature- an odd combination of horns, fins and their ears, decorated with markings that sit on the back of their head. 

Four talons (including a thumbclaw) sit on each hand of a Fenral, with three talons on each feet. These talons can be quite large or quite small when compared to the limbs they are attached to. A Fenral's arms are rather long and thin, in contrast to their legs, which are much shorter and more powerful. Their tail is also quite thin, and long, measuring usually around 4 feet.

The coloring of a Fenral can be almost any color, though greens and blues are most common. The color is usually slightly desaturated, however, with a lot of gray mixed into the coloring.

Your base walking speed is 35 feet, and your base swimming speed is 25 feet.

Poison Resistance

Fenrali are easily able to expel poisons from their bodies. You have an advantage on Constitution saving throws.

Alignment

While Fenrali don't usually enjoy the company of other species, they are not inherently evil. Most alignments found in them range from Lawful Neutral to Neutral Good, though Chaotic-aligned or Evil Fenrali also exist.

Darkvision

Due to your reptilian eyes, you are able to see in the dark- not as well as elves, but there is still a noticeable difference. You can see in dim light within 20 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.

Marked

Markings are found on each Fenral when they are born, and it is no different for you. You were born with a unique set of shapes across your entire body, indicating your strength, weaknesses and who you would generally be as a Fenral. Each different marking adds two modifiers to your stats: one giving +2, and one giving -1. You also gain a proficiency.
