Homebrew Azeban Species Details

Azebans originated in the Feywild, where they spoke Sylvan and embodied the spirit of trickery. Azebans are bipedal, with ringed tails, and sharp claws that allow them to scamper up trees with aplomb. They share the keen senses of Procyonidae creatures and are foolhardy and reckless, having a tendency to get in over their heads. Azebans are blessed with a little fey luck, and they often find themselves a few fortunate feet away from dangers during adventures.

Creating Your Character

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.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common, Sylvan, and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. The Player’s Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.

Creature Type

 You are Humanoid.

Life Span

The typical life span of a player character in the D&D multiverse is about a century, assuming the character doesn’t meet a violent end on an adventure. Members of some races, such as dwarves and elves, can live for centuries. Fairies and Azebans, however, have a life span of about a century.

Height and Weight

Player characters, regardless of race, typically fall into the same ranges of height and weight that humans have in our world. If you’d like to determine your character’s height or weight randomly, consult the Random Height and Weight table in the Player’s Handbook, and choose the row in the table that best represents the build you imagine for your character.

Azeban Traits

As a Azeban, you have the following racial traits.

Elusive

Azebans can take the Dash, Disengage and Hide action as a bonus action.

Claws

You can use your claws to make unarmed strikes. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier as slashing damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Feyish Magic Resistance

You have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma saving throws against spells.

Darkvision

You can see in dim light within 120 feet of you as if it were bright light and in darkness as if it were dim light. You discern colors in that darkness only as shades of gray.

Trickster

Starting at 3rd level, you can cast the enlarge/reduce spell on yourself with this trait, without requiring a material component. Starting at 5th level, you can also cast the invisibility spell on yourself with this trait, without requiring a material component. Once you cast either of these spells with this trait, you can’t cast that spell with it again until you finish a long rest. You can also cast these spells using spell slots you have of the appropriate level.

Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma is your spellcasting ability for these spells when you cast them with this trait (choose when you select this race).

Creature Type

You are a Humanoid.

You are Medium or Small. You choose the size when you select this race.
