Homebrew Cold Child Species Details
Extremely pale, child-like humanoid creature with rock solid cold skin that glimmers in sunlight and deep, unusual eye colours and fanged teeth. Once puberty hits, these children stop growing no matter how old they get- possibly looking 15 while actually 119 year old. The colour of their eyes reflects the colour of their blood. Their diet is limited to raw foods and pure blood of any kind. They can travel faster than the average person and are advanced at hand-to-hand combat. If they were to bite someone it would not do lethal damage, however, it would burn the blood of their opponent (+1dc damage).
