Homebrew Baurier Species Details
Native to the rolling hills and woods of
Ysgard, the bariaurs wander the lands in
search of evil. To those unfamiliar with them,
bariaurs appear carefree or irresponsible, but
this behavior is merely the outward sign of
their wanderlust. They rarely remain in one
place for long, preferring a life of travel to
sedentary existence. When evil rears its ugly
head, this carefree demeanor disappears,
replaced by single-minded pursuit of that
which endangers good folk of the area.
To a bauriar, the two great goods are honor
and a good time. Even bariaur adventurers on
a hard quest may arrange simple contests to
remind them of the joy of life. It is a magical
moment when a grimly determined bariaur
happens on one of his fellows and puts aside
his honor-driven quest for a few minutes (or
hours) of sport.
Baurier Traits
Bauriars are somewhat smaller, standing six to seven feet. Bauriars are humanoids with goat-like bodies and horns that come from the plane of Ysgard, and are often mistaken for centaurs, though they are known to find the comparison insulting.ability score increase

Positive alignment
As creatures who value
freedom, most bariaurs are chaotic good in
alignment. Some more settled bariaurs
tend toward neutrality in their approach to
good. Evil bariaurs are extremely rare and
always shunned from the flock.
size and speed
Size. Standing roughly half a foot taller
than a human, a bariaur resembles a
centaur. The typical male weighs nearly
300 pounds, with females about 40 pounds
lighter. Your size is Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 35
feet.
darkvision
Descended from watchful
protectors in the realm of Ysgard you have
superior vision in dark and dim conditions.
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.
quadruped
As quadrupeds, bariaurs
have advantage on checks and saving
throws made to resist being knocked
prone. You have a carrying capacity 1-
and-a-half times greater than normal for
your Strength. You cannot wear most
armor that is not designed for you, and you
cannot wear boots designed for humanoids.
You also cannot climb without assistance.
mountain hooves
You can scale rocky
cliffs and steep mountains as though they
were difficult terrain instead of climbing. In
addition, you can ignore difficult terrain
that is made of stone.
curled horns
You have a pair of
twisting horns that sprout from either side
of your head. You can use your horns as a
natural weapon, which you can use to make
unarmed strikes. If you hit with your horns,
you deal bludgeoning damage equal to ld4
+ your Strength modifier, instead of the
normal damage for an unarmed strike.
ram's charge
Charge. If you move at least 20 ft.
straight toward a target, you can use your
action to make a special attack with your
horns. The attack deals an extra 1d4
bludgeoning damage. If the target is a large
or smaller creature, it must succeed on a
Strength saving throw or be knocked
prone. The DC for the save is equal to 7 +
your Strength modifier + your proficiency
bonus.
languages
Bariaurs use Celestial for
most conversations. They also speak
Common to allow them to converse with
other races.
