Homebrew Chinkara (Gazelle race) Species Details

A pacifist race of gazelle humanoids. They are innate magic users, mostly focusing on healing and defensive magics. If push comes to shove, they will fight in melee combat with their horns or simple weaponry. They do their best to not take the life of sentient creatures, as killing is considered taboo in their culture. Some dwell in the forests and plain lands, living in small communities. Others are nomadic desert dwellers, who although constantly roam, seldom leave the tribe. Few are given to wanderlust, and those that are usually will be males looking for something more than the mundane life in the villages.
