Homebrew Drowlin Species Details

Your parents are from two worlds: Drow of the Underdark and Owlin of the Fey Wild. You are a rarity any place you go and, as such,  you are either emboldened or full of insecurities and isolation, depending on how you handle your uniqueness. You are charismatic to any who know you, regardless of your disposition.

Creating Your Character

If you create a Drowlin character, follow these additional rules during character creation.

Ability Score Increases 

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one of those scores by 2 and increase a different score by 1, or increase three different scores by 1. Follow this rule regardless of the method you use to determine the scores, such as rolling or point buy. Whichever scores you decide to increase, none of the scores can be raised above 20.

Languages

Your character can speak, read, and write Common and one other language that you and your DM agree is appropriate for the character. PHB offers a list of widespread languages to choose from. The DM is free to add or remove languages from that list for a particular campaign.

Creature Type

Every creature in D&D, including every player character, has a special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are. Most player characters, including Drowlin, are of the Humanoid type. Creature types don’t have rules themselves, but some rules in the game affect creatures of certain types in different ways. For example, the text of the cure wounds spell specifies that the spell doesn’t work on a creature that has the Construct type.

Life Span

The typical life span of a player character in D&D is about up to half a century, assuming the character doesn’t meet a violent end on an adventure.

Height and Weight

Player characters, including Drowlin, typically fall into the same ranges of height and weight that humans have in our world. If you’d like to determine your character’s height or weight randomly, consult PHB, and choose the row in the table that best represents the build you imagine for your character.
