Homebrew Gingerborne Species Details

Enchanted Ginger is an uncommon occurrence, but can be stumbled upon, or even created. Some people who specialize in cooking with magic collect this Enchanted Ginger to make special Gingerbread Cookies because the taste of this magical dessert is exquisite. Sometimes, the cooking process can go wrong, and the Cookie can come to life in the oven. This is how the Gingerborne came to be. These sentient pastries are unusually nimble, able to outrun even the fastest of beasts, and due to the magic cooked into them, so to speak, they have a knack for magic, particularly fire magic. Some of these people become cooks or bakers themselves, using their potent flames to make delicious meals. Some of them become athletes, using their superior speed to compete in competitions for money or glory, and some go down the path of the adventurer...
