Homebrew Zenonian Species Details

A hidden and secluded race of extremely powerful female warriors. The Zenonians are an All-Female race that value a strong male as their partner, extremely dominant. Most of them excel in physical abilities. Tall, muscular with an imposing physique. They’re warriors able to master using a variety of weapons. They’re always polishing their martial arts. Most of them wander all over the world for the sake of training, so one can probably encounter them in various places besides the fields where they usually dwell. They have aggressive personalities, but they basically don’t attack men. However, if they meet a human man that is a ‘warrior’ like them, then that’s another story. They’ll request a battle to try their skills. Even if one loses the battle, they won’t take his life or anything like that, but if one beats them, they would request marriage on the spot, as they have a habit of trying to make a husband of strong men who defeat them in battle to produce powerful children. As warriors, they leave a stoic and firm impression, but on the contrary, they will serve the man who becomes their husband with all their heart and thoroughly perform their duties as a wife. That’s because they have an instinctive drive to serve the man who defeats them, as much as they seek to do battles. They always seek powerful males to be husbands, and because of this... they have a hatred of the Alp Race, who entice men with weak wiles and submissive behaviors.

Creating Your Character

At 1st level, you choose whether your character is a member of the human race or of a fantastical race. If you select a fantastical race, follow these additional rules during character creation.

Ability Score Increases

When determining your character’s ability scores, increase one score 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. The “Quick Build” section for your character’s class offers suggestions on which scores to increase. You can follow those suggestions or ignore them, but you can’t raise any of your scores 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. The Player's Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.
