Homebrew Brethren Species Details

Humans are everywhere in the Beast World— roughly one in every three willful creatures is a brethren. Yet, they don’t appear in the great histories of the homelands. They hold very little power in its governments, and no brethren is famous from the deeds of their ancestors.

Keepsake of a Lost Home

Work with your GM to create your curio. Curios are generally handheld objects from an alternate version of the real world 1990s. They can some- times perform functions that are more portable or more efficient than their real-world counterparts (for example, a solar-powered toaster is a great curio). Their usefulness should be situational but your curio doesn’t need to be tchotchke! Real- world objects that can reproduce a cantrip or 1st-level spell make excellent curios.

If its function reproduces the effects of a cantrip, it operates without the need for acid buttons (batteries). The Broken World had many types of power sources before its unraveling. If it reproduces the effects of a 1st-level spell, it can be used once before its acid button needs to be recharged by leaving the curio in direct sunlight for 8 hours. Your GM might allow you to purchase more acid buttons for your curio during the campaign, allowing for more uses before recharging. However, your curio can only recharge 1 acid button per 8 hours in direct sunlight. The Curio table below gives some suggestions for suitable brethren curios.
