Homebrew Boneman Species Details
The Boneman is a creature of undeath, however not necessarily necromantic. Some may have been brought back by their god to complete their destiny, some may have been resurrected as part of a pact with an otherworldly entity. The Boneman may also resemble any of the many races found around the world, as anyone can die, however everyone is the same when they are dead. You may want to edit parts of this race, such as the walking speed, to more fit with the race that this undead once was. There is also the question, does the Boneman remember anything of their past life? or has that been lost to the grave.

Posted Jun 30, 2019My apologies, I used the Half elf as a basis just because I've never made a homebrew in here before. The Ability score writing is incorrect. It should say that you may choose an ability score to improve by 2 and a different score to improve by 1. It should work correctly, just the text is wrong
