Homebrew Aquatic Dragonewt Species Details
Sea elves fell in love with the wild beauty of the ocean in the earliest days of the multiverse. When arriving on a forgotten world they were beset by nightmarish sea creatures and would have been lost if it were not for the agreement of a Dragon Goddess to aid them at the request of Deep Sashelas himself. The result of this aid was the birth of the Aquatic dragonewts and the beginning of a long history of oceanic exploration and cultivation.
Aquatic Dragonewts are incredibly long lived, even for those of elven heritage, and can reach ages as old as 1200 years. Though some claim to be several millennia old without the aid of magic.
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.
