Homebrew Beastborn (RotSS) Species Details

"How I miss Barl… the old caretaker to the Well. He was always hunched over, but still seemed tall to me. I remember his big, ursine face, smiling down at me. A good man, he treated me (despite my own differences) with such kindness. Maybe we shared that, being different. I felt so safe with him. But he grew old too fast and one day he just wandered back into the woods…" —Fyrkat, Seerguard

 

Once an ordinary animal living a content life in the forests, seas, or skies of Grimnir, the beastborn became enamored with raiders, their villages, their ships, and gradually, day after day, they started to act like them. Started to become them. The beastborn strongly resembles the creature it once was, though no matter its original size, it has grown (or shrunk) to roughly human height. They look like an animal that has simply decided to walk upright, emulating the raiders they admire.

Beast Speak

You can communicate with other creatures of your original kind.

Unique

You start with a pool of 12 beast points. Work through the following sections to spend these points to acquire the features you believe represent the race you are building. The first step is to decide why you awakened and which beastborn aspects resonate most with you. Perhaps you are:

• A boar that seeks out knowledge, collecting and reading tomes from across the world, learning as much about the raiders and their past as is possible.

• A squirrel who wants to feel the thrill of leading a raiding party across the sea.

• A goat that craves to not only learn the culture of the raiders but is excited to add to it—composing great ballads to be sung in feast halls across Grimnir. Once you have a vision in mind start spending the points.

*** Note: The system will let you select up to 12 items, but you can only have 12 points, just leave the extra ones empty. ***
