Homebrew Augmented by the Pointy Hat Species Details

The Augmented were made by Pointy Hat youtube channel go check them out on if I could link I would but I can't, please check them out. (I have made some changes so it works with D&D beyond better)

Those who choose to become augmented are anything but a monolith. Most augmented become so after losing a limb or the capability to hear, see, walk, even speak. Faced with the challenges that naturally come from their situation, they reach out to master crafters: artificers specializing in the making and installing of wondrous magical prosthetics to a living, humanoid body.

These artificers take incredible pride in their work, and each add a unique, personal touch to their craft. As a result, no two augmentations look or work the same. They are personally made for the person augmented with them.

Most of the time, a lost arm is replaced with an artificial limb, meant to work exactly like an arm would, but artificers are inventive by nature, and so many augmented are given secondary characteristics to their augmentations, not just allowing them to replace their lost limb or sense but also giving them new capabilities that their original limb did not have.

Some augmented outfit their augmentations with combat capabilities, incorporating finely-tuned weapons into them. Some are given incredibly powerful legs or fast seats that allow them to move through the battlefield even faster than before, and some add tools to their augmentations, opening up a myriad of possibilities from integrated musical instruments to perfectly concealed thieves’ tools.

There are also some who decide to become augmented not after the loss of a sense or limb, but because of the incredible capabilities that their augmentations would grant them. There are assassin clans that augment their members, making them even deadlier at their sinister craft. There are racers who choose to undergo augmentation to participate in the fastest ever races involving living people. There are even whispers of truly heinous master craftsmen, artificers who force their unethical augmentations on unwilling subjects. Regardless of why and how someone becomes augmented, they all share in common one thing: their augmentations are all as different and unique as the people attached to them.
