Homebrew Beastborn Species Details

Beastborn are the bear people of the wilds. They hunt and gather like the animals that they derive their abilities from but walk on two legs and talk like humans. They are the result of a creature of another race having a child within the feywild during weird magical occurrences. They can sometimes be found traveling in packs of their kind within the woods.

Beastborn Communities

Within the Feywild the Beastborn have established diverse communities based on the rulings of the generally viewed as wiser boarborn. Every subsection of the community has its own purpose or station. The Bearborn act as warden and soldiers against outside threats and as the brawn of the community. They are however seldom called upon for aid and many go their entire lives without seeing a fight. The boarborn are officials or advisors and maintain order and balance in the community. The Squirrelborn maintain the balance by acting as the creators and industrial innovators of the communities. Offering their machines as ways to further the growth and maintain the integrity of the society.
