Homebrew Witcher Species Details

a human stalks through the night, cat eyes shining in the darkened forest. All is silent save for the gentle tapping of his medallion against his chest. at the sound of an otherworldly howl, he dodges out of the , narrowly avoiding the cavernous maw of a werewolf. a tiefling whirls his gleaming sword about his head before bringing it down before him, hacking a griffin's wings from its body.Blood and feathers fly as he nimbly carves his way up the side of the beast before finally splitting its head in two. a half-orc thrusts his hand toward the pack of undead shambling towards him. with a short sign, a wave of fire explodes forth, followed by him cleaving a path through them with his gleaming sword. the last thing they see is his face, veined from the potions he took, a branching mass of death. all of these fighters are witchers, the ideal being for killing monsters. mutated by the trial of the grasses, trained in swordplay, and well versed in nearly every type of monster, they are more than equipped to handle being pitted against whatever goes bump in the night. they fill a necessary niche in the homeland of their craft, killing monsters for those plagued by them, and have taken their services to the new land, only to find a continent with bounties ripe for the taking.

Witcher Traits

there will always, always be darkness. And in that darkness there will always be evil, in that darkness there will always be fangs and claws, murder and blood. there will always be things that go bump in the night. And we, Witchers, are the ones who bump back at them

meditation

 don’t need to sleep. Instead, they meditate deeply, remaining semiconscious, for 4 hours a day. (The Common word for such meditation is “trance.”) While meditating, you can dream after a fashion; such dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. After resting in this way, you gain the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep.

Darkvision

Thanks to your elf blood, 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.
