Homebrew Dual Species Details
Duals are beings that are born or cursed with two souls in one body. They have two different halves both mentally, and physically, being made up of two different beings. Their halves constantly argue and disagree based on their core emotion - one half will be aggressive, while the other is calm and insightful. This constant battle gives them an interesting dynamic, and a torn but unique perspective of the world. They are very noticeable in public, and constantly misunderstood and shamed for who they are.

Duals can embrace their duality to give them an edge over others. They can magnify their voices, and their two sides give them a step above others in combat, and in luck.Ability Score Increase
