Homebrew Mink Species Details

They are considered fearsome and powerful by many, and rightfully so. Minks are born with immense power, speed, stealth, and instincts. Their abilities are far superior to ordinary humans, even at a young age. Every mink, regardless of if they are young or old, is a powerful warrior in battle. This power is greatly elevated when their Sulong Form is activated under a full moon.

Victims of Slavery. Much like many other non-human races, Minks are sometimes victims of slavery and are valued for their exotic appearance and strength. Additionally, many humans may treat minks with similar amounts of hatred to how they treat other non-humans. This can lead to some degree of resentment between both races, though likely not quite as extreme as certain fish-men. Many minks have the ability to get along with humans if there is some level of understanding and respect.

Residents of Zou. Most minks reside on a city atop an ancient island-sized elephant named Zunesha. This city is referred to as Zou, which exists somewhere in the New World. This city is incredibly difficult to locate, allowing minks to live away from pirates and the reaches of the World Government. However, some minks do venture outside of Zou, sometimes as pirates, or decide to live in Totto Land.

Mink Traits

Each mink resembles a certain type of furry mammalian animal. Their features and appendages are very human-like, but often have paws and padded paws. Male minks look much more bestial and hairy, while female minks appear more human-like.

You have an animal’s keen Senses, especially in the dark. 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.

Beast's Slash

 Because of your beast-like features, you have a climbing speed of 20 feet. In addition, your body is a natural Weapon, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. You can choose to deal slashing for your unarmed strikes, and your unarmed strike damage dice becomes a minimum of 1d6.

You know the Shocking Grasp cantrip. Wisdom is your Spellcasting Ability for this Spell. Additionally, you are Resistant to lightning damage.

Sulong Transformation

Starting at 3rd Level, you can use your action to channel moonlight energy into your body and transform into a powerful bright white primal form with longer hair and enhanced size, bolstering your strength, speed, and electro.

Your transformation lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a Bonus Action. During it, your speed increases by 10 feet, you have advantage on strength checks, and once on each of your turns, you can deal extra electric damage to one target when you deal damage to it with an Attack or a spell. The extra electric damage equals your level.

Once you use this trait, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.
