Homebrew Horse Species Details

• Ability Score Increase. Your Constitution score increases by 2 and your Strength score increases by 1. You can't raise any of your scores above 20.

• Charge. If you move at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, you can immediately follow that attack with a bonus action, making one attack against the target with your hooves.

• Equine Build. You can carry a small or medium creature on your back which reduces you to 2/3 and 1/2 speed respectively, rounding up.
  • In addition, any climb that requires hands and feet is especially difficult for you because of your equine legs. When you make such a climb, each foot of movement costs you 5 extra feet instead of the normal 1 extra foot.

• Hooves. You have hooves that you can use to make unarmed strikes with 5 feet of reach. When you hit with them, the strike deals 1d6 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.
  • One disadvantage of not having fingers is the inability to naturally hold objects. You may hold light weapons in your mouth and use them normally so long as they are not two-handed or require loading

• Animal Kingdom. You are a true part of the animal kingdom and thus have intimate connections with the animals of the world. You therefore have proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Animal Handling, Nature, or Survival.

• Languages. Your character can speak and read Common.
