Homebrew Half-Unicorn Species Details
Half-unicorns are humans who were enchanted by a unicorn while in the womb. While some see them as monstrosities or oddities, most look on them with awe, jealous that they were not chosen to be blessed with natural magic talent and an in with the celestials.
They are granted mystic powers simply by the nature of their magic blood, and most seek to make contact with the unicorn they are a product of. Although this is not a goal all strive for, many wish to meet the ones responsible for their abilities and way of life, driven also by an instinctive need to become closer with members of the celestial planes. Some even seek to live there.

Posted Jan 16, 2021I think you should make charisma increase by 2 like it did in the first version. Other than that, though, this looks good!

Posted Mar 30, 2021i made my own half unicorn race before realising there was so many on dndbeyond - yours is by far my favourite! i agree however, i think a +2 to CHA would be good :) i don't think it would risk the balance because the racial traits aren't really all that busted now. (they're great though!)
