Homebrew Bunnyhoops Species Details

In the vast expanse of the cosmos lies a whimsical spectacle known as the bunnyhoop—a renowned intergalactic hare race that captivates the hearts of cosmic spectators. Originating from their now-devastated home planet, the bunnyhoop once thrived in harmonious playfulness, their communication echoing through space in high-pitched squeaks that mirrored their boundless energy.

However, their idyllic existence was shattered when their tranquil world fell prey to invasion by a humanoid army, leaving them with shattered landscapes and wary hearts. Despite their pacifist nature, the memory of the invasion lingers, casting a shadow over their interactions with other races.

Due to their caution towards other races, the bunnyhoops typically avoid intergalactic travel, preferring to dwell in isolation, nurturing their own unique culture and religion. Through their steadfast commitment to independence, they cultivate a rich tapestry of traditions and beliefs that bind their community together, fostering a sense of unity amidst the vast expanse of the cosmos.

 

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 such as the bunnyhoop this section, 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 Players Handbook offers a list of languages to choose from. The DM is free to modify that list for a campaign.

Creature Type

Every creature in D&D, including each player character, has a special tag in the rules that identifies the type of creature they are. Most player characters are of the Humanoid type. A race in this chapter tells you what your character’s creature type is.

Here’s a list of the game’s creature types in alphabetical order: Aberration, Beast, Celestial, Construct, Dragon, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, Giant, Humanoid, Monstrosity, Ooze, Plant, Undead. These types don’t have rules themselves, but some rules in the game affect creatures of certain types in different ways. For example, the cure wounds spell doesn’t work on a Construct or an Undead.

Life Span

The typical life span of a player character in the D&D multiverse is about a century, assuming the character doesn’t meet a violent end on an adventure. Members of some races, such as dwarves and elves, can live for centuries. Fairies and harengons, however, have a life span of about a century.

Height and Weight

Player characters, regardless of race, 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 the Random Height and Weight table in the Players Handbook, and choose the row in the table that best represents the build you imagine for your character.
